NEW" PLANET
OLD TIMER

WASHINGTON, (AP) - The
Navy said today the celestial OBJ
ject it first presumed to be a new
minor planet% now turns out to
be an old timer.
It's the asteroid, or minor plan
ct '"Thalia" which was first noted
early in the 18th century. The
Tnalia every five years or so
comes within 100.000,0o0 to 200,
C00,0O0 M miles of the earth.
It's about so miles in diameter.
Navy Astronomer William
Markowitz, who noted photograph
ic evidence of the object, said
he thought it might be new
asteroid because it showed "un-
usual" characteristics of lumin-
osity and speed. Also, it was not
ed in a part of the sky where
asteroids are not commonly OBJ
served.
The Navy was busy trying to
have the orbit, or pathway of the
object through the sky, computed
when up came DR.. Leland Cum
ningham of the University of
California with word that he had
identified the object as "Thalia." |"
Cunningham is an expert on aster-
oids and planets.
The Navy had farmed out its
own observational results to DIR.
Paul Herget, of the University of
Cincinnati.
Markiwitz said that at first
Herget, like the naval astronom-
ers, had failed to link the object
with d known asteroid, but that
after Cunningharn's word, he
checked further and confirme
the Identification of "Thalia.@

Go EosyWith
That Lawn Mower

If you hate to NOV the lawn
here's some scientific data to
back you up.
A. G. Smith, jr., associate horti-
culturist at V. P. l., cautions
against close moving for the rest
of the summer. He notes that
many bluegrass lawns are ruined
by close moving. Bluegrass is a
perennial and spreads by the
development of underground
parts. The underground stems
cannot grow unless there is
enough leaf growth to feed them,
he explains.
Mr.. Smith says that August
and September are the months
to renovate old lawns, and to
seed new ones.
Scatter good seed at the rate
of about three pounds to 1000
square feet. Under average condi-
tons, the following mixture is
recommended: Kentucky blue
grass, rs per cent: red top, 20
per cent; and white Dutch clover,
per cent. If the clover is omitted,
increase the red top.

This Week in the Garden

to keep the spikes from crooking.
Good culture is usually rewarded
with tall straight spikes with the
buds we'll distributed. Poor bud
placement may be the fault of the
variety but careless feeding and
watering may also be a cause.
Thrip control on the gladiolus
is Of little value after the lowest
bud shows color. Spraying or dust
ing will be Of no value since the
thrips are on the inside. busting
or spraying with SO DOT or any
of the other recommended mate
rails should begin while the glad
loluS are small and continued until
the buds show color.
Daffodil bulbs may still be dug
this month. but the earlier the
better. They are one of the first
to start root growth, usually early
in September.
If 2.4,5-T or 2,4-D did not
get the poison ivy when sprayed
earlier this season, it may be that
you did not wet the foliage suffi-
GENTLY. However, it can still be
killed by spraying with ANIMATE
"a pound to l gallon of water. Wet
the foliage thoroughly but avoid
getting a large quantity of the
spray on the ground. Excess wet
ting Of the soil will kill all vege-
tation and keep the ground bare
for month or more.
Do not delay sowing the seeds
Of biennials and perennials. The
earlier the larger plants. 1t is
desirable to have plants large
enough for transplanting to per-
manent beds by late September.
Then they will have time to be-
come well rooted before cold
weather.
1t is not too late to buy new
iris, or to lift and divide old, es-
tablished clumps. If lifting is not
practicable, pry out sections with
a spading fork. Overcrowding and
lack of plant food greatly reduces
the number of flower spikes. Scat
ter 5-10-5 fertilizer over the bed

feet of bed and cultivate lightly.
Keep the strawberry bed free

For Flower Arrangement
Wide Variety of Foliage Produced
In Garden Can Contribute to Beauty
By W. H. Younomun
Garden Editor

The flower arranger will often
make a hurried dash into the
garden to get a sprig of this OF
4 branch of that. in order that
the flower arrangement may be
completed. This brings to mind
one point that the gardener some
times overlooks-the providing OF
foliage or accessory material for
the arranger. House plants, per-
ennials, vines and shrubs may be
grown for this and other purposes
The extent of the growing OF
such material, of course. will de-
pend on the size of the garden,
the likes and dislikes of the ar
ranger as well as the extent to
which flower arranging is prac-
ticed.
A brief review of illustrated
books on flower arrangements will
disclose a wide variety of foliage
materials used. The sprawling
philodendron may be kept within
bounds when the foliage is COM
bined with flowers in bowl or vase
The gold dust plant-Pothos, with
similar growth habit, but a much
different foliage. is also useful
when combined with autumn
shades. And the many kinds of
English ivys, grape-leaf ivy (Cis-
sus rhombifolia) and ClematiS
foliage may serve useful purposes.
The foliage plants so widely
used in the home may b. trimmed
to contribute the desired height,
color or texture needed. Tie Screw
Pine Pandanus), the Iron plant
(Aspidistra). rubber plant (Ficus)
German (Monstera deliciosa)
Bowstring hemp (Sansevieria)
Diffenbachia, Gala lily, Coleus,
Caladium and Chinese evergreen,
to name the more commonly
grown ones, all have foliage that
may be combined with flowers.
Some with large bold foliage may
not be as freely used as those
with less striking but more grace
full leaves.
Border Has Foliage Plants.
The perennial border may con-
tain a number of useful foliage
plants as well as Towering plants
whose leaves may be combined
with other flowers for artistic ar
rangementS. The silver-leaved
artemisia is an example of the
first, while the foliage of the Au-
gust lily Funkia) is typical of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-08-05

the second. Other perennials
with useful foliage might include
the peony lily-of -the-valley, bap-
tista, ferris of all kinds, bleeding
heart, etc. Summer Towering
bulbs may also contribute their
foliage, if needed. The most COM
monty used is that of the Gamma
but on occasion one may use
gladiolus as well as dahlia leaves
The shrub border is another
source of plant material and,
where feasible, might include
some of The following kinds whose
foliage has served: The Japa-
nese holly Qlex crenata), glossy
leaved privet Oigustrum luci-
dunn, Mount Laurel CKalmia lat
ifolia), rhododendron. leucothoe,
the leather-leaf viburnum, (Vi-
burnum rhytidophyllum), mag
nolia (tre evergreen is especially
good, etc. are all valuable
sources of foliage and buds. OF
the narrow leaved evergreens,
some use is made of the arbor-
vitae, hemlock, pine and white
cedar (Chanaecyparis).
In addition to these shrubs and
trees we should not overlook the
foliage, thornS and fruit of the
(Pyracantha), the buds
and twigs of the redbug (Cercis
canadensiS), the slender twigs of
the broom (Cytisus), the corky
twigs OF the European burning
bush anonymous alatus) and the
common. barberry.
Autumn Tints Desirable.
Several of the trees may be
counted on to provide twigs, fol-
iage and occasional buds. Au-
tumn- tinted foliage has it's place
and some of our native trees may
provide the desired tintS.
Good foliage is an asset to an
arrangement and there are times
when the arranger will strip the
foliage from her flowers and sub
stitute a better foliage from an
other plant. This is an illustra-
ton of the Importance of good
foliage. To have good foliage it
must be protected from insects
and diseases and have made good
healthy growth. Proper feeding
and watering thus will have much
to do with the quality of the ma
terial used in the arrangement.
Dust-covered house plants are
seldom an asset and on occasion
may be improved by wiping with
wax before placing in the con-
tainer. Sometimes the arranger
wishes yellowed foliage and it
must be taken several days in
advance of use.
Dried foliage, grasses, twigs and
other materials may be grown,
collected or purchased as the need
arises.
The above-named plants are
of kinds from which
the home gardener may select a
few of those most likely to be used.
Of those chosen do not be afraid
of judicious pruning for a good
purpose such as this. 1t will not
impair the appearance or de-
velopment of the plant. If a
rhododendron tends to be tall and
leggy, the topmost leaf clusters
should be the first taken for an
arrangement. EvergreenS that
have more or less constant shear
ing tend to be compact and full
Of foliage, whereas those that go
tend to be tall and
open. So prune for beautyS sake.

day afternoon at 3 o'clock. In
the event of rain, the demonstra-
ton will be held Sunday after
noon at the same hour
Ample practice material will be
available and interested amateurs
and home gardeners will be in
