Gulf Coast Fishermen Test
Extent Of New Shrimp Bed
BY the Associated Press

GULF SHORES, Ala, July o.
Further exploration of a newly
found shrimp bed off the Alabama
Gulf Coast is underway.
The new find, reported of COM

Texas Fisherman's cooperative
Association.
The shrimp were found in II
to 18 fathoms about 20 miles of
the coast. in an area where shrimp
had not been reported previously.
An exploratory mission by II

of medium sized shrimp south of

The mounting interest in opera
brought thousands to the Water
gate last night to hear a program
Of operatic excerpts presented by
the National Symphony Orchestra.
A balmy evening. the first in
weeks without the threat of rain,
may have had something to do
with the size Of the audience. But,
whatever 1t was, those who came
took a great deal away with them,
thanks to the nature of the con-
cert. It was one of the most re-
warding in the series, arranged by
the Sesquicentennial Commission.
italian Night" sponsored by
the Italian Government, filled the
air with beautiful voices and
gorgeous melodies. The program
offered operatic arias and duets,
interspersed with several novel
ties sung by Herva Nelli. soprano;
Antonio Madasi, tenor, and Cesare
Bardelli. baritone.
Giuseppe Antonicelli of the
Metropolitan Opera, was the con-
ductor. His knowledge of the the
ater made the music alive with
romance and drama, his accom-
paniment lending the right i'm
petus and support to the singers.
He conducted also four numbers,
three of which, Overture" to Mas
cagni's lie Maschere':: Verdi's II
Vespri Siciliani Overture" and
"Danza dele Ondine" from Cata-
lani's 'Loreley," were more or less
new.
No program is quite complete
without the Prologue" from
Leoncavallo's ST Pagliacci." 1t fell
to Mr.. Bardelli to present it. His
voice, of a lovely timbre and vel
vety roundness. was effective, but
more so in the aria "Nemico della
Patria" from Giordano's Andrea
Chenier," sung later, which proved
better suited to his natural en-
dowment and excellent vocaliza-
ton.
The fine tenor voice of Mr.. Ma
dasi, already known here through
his recent appearance with the
San Carlo Opera. found a perfect
for his art in "Lamento
di Federico" from Cilea's forgot
ten opera "L'Arlesiana";; "Che ge-
Ida mamma" from Puccini's LA
Boheme, and "Nessun dorma"I
from "Turandot" by the same COM
poser.
Miss Ne1li has one of the best
trained soprano voices heard here,
wide in range. flexible and ringing.
She sang artistically Marguerite's
aria "L'Altra notte in fondo al
mare" from Boito's "Mefistofele";;

.o||ies for Home Gardens
More Than 200 Varieties Provide the
Gardener With q Wide SeIectWe Field

A nurseyman recently said he
had 200 species and varieties of
hollies. That's statement that
would shock the uninitiated. But.
to illustrate how little we know
about the hollies we need only
mention the surprise of many
visitors at the National Flower
Show when they learned that the
compact low-growing evergreen
border around one of the gardens
was a dwarf form of japanese
holly.
Not all hollies are hardy in this
area and. no matter how desirable
the tender kinds are, they should
be avoided unless the garnener is
prepared to protect them. This
applies to a considerable number
of the so-called southern hollies,
natives of the deep South. There
may be an exception to this since
one gardener succeeded in estab-
fishing hedge of the Yaupon at
his home in Chevy Chase. The
Yaupon Glex vomitoria) is an
evergreen with orange red berries.
Many varieties of the English
holly Qlex aquifolium), which are
usually considered tender, are to
be found growing in the New York
and Pennsylvania area. One
lobbyist has collected consider
able number of them. They are in
some respects more attractive
than our native, the American
holly Ulex opaca. Speaking of

fer thickly grown plants from
which they cut the tops of the
leaves. Such practice permits the
leaves to grow again and give 9
second harvest before hot weather
checks their growth.
The cool weather has been 9
boon to the daffodils which were
being somewhat forced by the
high temperatures of three weeks
ago. The stems are longer, the
flowers larger and they are last
ing longer. This points to the
desirability of having the daffodil
paintings scattered with some in
cool, shady places for later bloom
others in sun or shade. Many
might well be tucked into the
edge of the shrubbery border
where they will flower before the
shrubs leaf-out.
There are several striking ap-
pearing forsythia hedges in the
metropolitan area. Closely
cropped they make a fairly COM
pact hedge. one which is surpris-
ingly snowy with flowers at this
season. A forsythia hedge will
need several clippings a season.
The pestiferous chickweed that
is invading all gardens at this
season is not easily killed with
chemical weedkillers. Late in the
fall or early winter when the
seedlings of this winter annual
are quite small it is fairly easily
killed. Hoe or pull them out of
lawn and garden.
Beets and carrots may be sue

planted in the garden after being

the hydrangea thrives in a moist

drangea that is such a brilliant
pink will turn blue unless lime is
added to the soil. The azaleas
may be planted in either sun or
shade and for good growth will
benefit from the use of compost
or spaghnum peatmoss in the
planting hole.
Now is good time to look over
the daffodil varieties on display
at the shows. There are hundreds
Of varieties to choose from. Some
are good garden subjects, others
are not so good. Select those
varieties whose color and form
please you most and then check
with an experienced grower to find
out how permanent they are. This
is particularly true of the bi-color
trumpets.
The trumpet daffodils are the
earliest to flower while the dainty

on display at the show today. The
trumpets from the more exposed
areas and the poets from the more
protected gardens.
A daffodile without plenty of
substance in it's petals does not
last well in the garden. Note the
difference in the thickness or.
stiffness of the petals. The heavier
are likely to be the more de-
sirable. as

The Chinese holly Il. cornuta)
is probably the most attractive of

shiny foliage and large red fruits.
The leaves are different in that
they have three sharp spines at
the outer ends of the leaves.

mentioned so far. rarely exceeding
Is feet in height. 1t is reasonably
hardy in this area, which means
that it should not be planted in a
too exposed situation. Even if it
is frozen back somewhat during
an unusual winter. that would not
be likely to kill the plant-just
give it good pruning.
The japanese holly Il. crenata)
is one of the best hollies for a
hedge. While the foliage is some
what dull colored. the small
tWiggy branches and tiny, boxlike
leaves make it especially adapted
to this use. The variety con-
vexa," sometimes called Bullata,
has glossy, cupped leaves that are
more attractive than the species.
1t is lower growing and thought to
be even harder than the parent.
The fruits are black. A smaller

out of its innate doldrums.
The unlucky thing about Lucky
Day" is not its theme so much
as its treatment.
Author Brady chose gambling
as his subject in the musical for
which Edward eastman wrote the
score. The choice is even rather
commendable as musical show
ideas go. It is not to be denied
that the speculative streak in
human nature has its ludicrously
funny aspects. as we'll as those
which are serious enough for a
Senate investigation. The point
is that Brady has not made a
personal study Of these horse
players and their girls and that
his academic handling of them
shows through Lucky Day."
This is like criticising a man
for taking sin for granted instead
Of giving it trial. but it is some
thing that can happen to anyone
who writes musical comedy. Like
gambling itself, it is not field to
be entered with too much inno-
cence.
