This Week in the Garden

Now that bulbs In the more
protected sections of the garden
are beginning to poke their green
leaves through the ground we
know that spring cannot be .far
away. We can expect frosts and
freezes but these hardy children
of the spring can take it. Still, we
must look about and find those
less robust plants that frost has
pushed out OF the soil and tuck
them back before they suffer Sc
verely. Do not be afraid to step
upon them if necessary so that
they are firmly pushed into the
soil. If this seems too heartless
cover with shovelful of compost
Even sand is beneficial.
With the first warm days OF
late February or early March
there Is an urge to get out and
clean up the garden. Neatness Is
desirable but let's not overdo it.
The weeds, leaves and other gar
den debris may make things a bit
unsightly but they are valuable
as a mulch and we should leave
them. Raking the lawn is apt to
do more damage than good since
the crowns of bluegrass tend to
grow out Of the ground and raking
only pulls them farther out So
that the first time the lawn mower
Is used 1t will cut them off. A
light rolling when the soil is dry
Is the best treatment-not raking.
Leave the dead grass and leaves to
protect the soil and to keep the
grass roots cool and moist.
II you have not lined the lawn
for 2 or 3 years it will pay to
spread ground limestone at the
rate of Is to IS pounds per 1000
square feet of area. A fertilizer
spreader is useful implement for
this purpose since it helps to
spread the material evenly and,
of course. unless experienced, it
is difficult to apply the right
amount. Hydrated or agricultural
lime is frequently offered for this
purpose but it is too active and
is likely to burn or injure the
young growth. Ground OYSTER
shell lime is just as good as pull
verified limestone, both are long
lasting and supply the needed cal
cium to the grass plants. When
spreading lime on the lawn try to
keep it away from azaleas, ever
green's and other acid-loving
plants. No doubt they may need
some calcium but that can be
supplied in some other form with
less danger of injury. A margin
of one foot is ample since lime
travels very slowly laterally
through the soil.
Do not be in hurry to start
tomato, eggplant or pepper seed.
They need six to eight weeks to
reach planting size and should be
ready for the garden by the end of
April or first of May. If planted
earlier the ground is apt to be too
cold for them to progress properly.
The same applies to petunia, mari
gold and zinnia. OF course. where
facilities are available they may
be started now and grown on to
Towering plants by the time the
weather is favorable for out-of-
doors planting. That takes a
large cold frame or cool green
house.
March 20 is considered the nor
mai date for setting out new trees
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-02-25

and shrubs in this area. Place
orders now for delivery at that
time. If the weather should be
favorable earlier we might regret
not having asked for shipment
before then but we are just as
likely to have bad weather after
then since March 20 is just an
average - the midpoint between
two extremes. However, if the
nursery stock is received during a
period of bad weather or wet
ground, we can store it for few
days without undue risk. Simply
loosen the packing. thoroughly
moisten and store in the coolest
frost-free place available. If 1t
seems impossible to plant within
a few days cover the plants with
peatmoss or compost to prevent
their drying out.
Spring is the preferred planting
time for naples, birch. magno-
has. rhododendrons, azaleas, tulip
trees and all evergreens. But. they
should be planted early since dur
ing warm weather there is a def
mite tendency for plants to make
top growth rather than the de-
sired root growth. Planted early
while the weather is cool they will
start the new root system and will
be better able to withstand I'M
favorable growing conditions dur
ing the summer.
The spring flower shows are
only a week away and many will
have the opportunity to visit one
or more OF them. They are always
interesting. inasmuch as they give
us a preview of the new things
Whether 1t be a new variety OF
marigold or a new garden tool,
they offer much that is instruc-
tive. Study the plant arrange
ments. particularly the groupings,
and note how effective the ar
rangement is. Then, too, most of
the big shows have educational
exhibits that teach many things
about successful gardening. How
ever, do not depend too much
upon the varieties being shown,
because they may or may not be
adapted to local conditions. The
local garden club is still the best
source of information on varieties
for the Washington area.
Now is good time to scatter
fertilizer over the daffodil beds. A
feeding at this time will give the
plants good sendoff for spring
growth and there should be
enough food available for the bulb
to make the desired growth. If
the new leaves have poked their
heads through the soil, it is ad-
visable to wash the fertilizer off
OF the foliage. A 5-10-5 fertilizer
is satisfactory for this purpose
apply 3 to pounds per 100 square
feet of bed.
In transplanting shrubs from
one part Of the yard to another 1t
Is always well to remove from q
fourth to half of the canes so that
the shock of moving will not be
too great. Remove the Oldest
canes at the soil line rather than
cutting all of them back. Plants
growing in the yard are likely to
have straggly rather than COM
pact root systems and this prun-
ing is needed to compensate for
loss of roots.

the disease called black tongue?

A. Black tongue is caused by
improper diet. Dogs fed a liberal
amount of meat and fish will never

BLACK ANTS.
fFront Mrs. P. r. H., Brentwood }
Recently a lady wrote and
asked how to get rid of little black
ants. I have had great success by
using oil of sassafras, that can be
purchased at any drugstore. use
q cotton applicator and apply it
along all window and door sills,
plus the edges and corners of my
cupboards. The odor is not Of
fensive and lasts only for couple
OF hours and one application lasts
several weeks. Hope you have the
success have had.

INSECTS?
DISH CLOTHS?

From Mrs. S. S. f., Siluer Spring.
I recently moved to a garden.
development apartment. bordering
on some woods. Although we have
tight fitting screens which W.
painted with a DDT solution
many tiny insects come in the
house. Has any one coped with
this problem? How can we keen
out these gnats, crawling insects
etc.?
My dish cloths, although thor
oughly washed in a washing ma
chine, have an unpleasant odor.
When I sent the cloths to the
commercial laundry. they came
back sweet-smelling. What can
I do to achieve the same effect
when washing them at home?
Should I presoak them in some
solution?

Why Grow
Old?
By josephine Lowmon

The average woman, when buy
ling preparations for keeping her
face and neck young and lovely, is
lconfronted with d staggering va
lriety Of creams and lotions and
masks and cleansers - throat
cream. eye cream, ilormone
creams. MISUNDERSTANDING creams
and astringents. She sees creams
named by number. non-allergy
creams and all sorts with special
ingredients or merits to "help the
Eskin do this or do that"
| Far from encouraging her eff
forts at skin care. this often SO
confuses her that she gives the
whole idea UP or she buys what
sounds best and promises most
and has the nagging suspicion
that the other items would really
have been best!
In order to clarity things, we
might look at q few basic skin-care
rules. Soap and water are fine for
those who have oily skin or nor
NAL skin. II your skin is dry, use
o cleansing cream. Even women
with normal skins may need an
eye cream after early youth.
Astringents are good for the oily
skin, not the dry skin.
Unless your skin Is very oily,
from 80 on you should use a good
lubricating cream on your face
and neck daily or nightly. If the
skin has q tendency to dryness,
you should begin this in the
early 20s.
II you have any reason to be-
lieve that you are allergic to regu-
lar cosmetics, by all means use
one Of the fine non-allergy lines
now available. This will be a
boon to you.
There has been great contro-
versy about hormone creams. I
can only report honestly on this.
Some physicians feel that they
might be harmful. The ones I
have asked about it feel that they
are not. I use them! You will
have to let your conscience and
your doctor be your guide.
There Is another interesting
new idea in a cream which retains
moisture in the skin. I like this
one. too. I am always OPEN
minded about any, scientifically
tested product which may hit the
skin in a happy way. I am per-
fectly willing to be a guinea pig
for my readers and myself, but
would have to be 10 guinea pigs In
order to try out all Of the cos
metics on the market.
II you would like to have nv
leafiet No. 49. "Reconditioning at
Home" send q stamped, self
addressed envelope with your re-
quest for 1t. Address Josephine |
