Grounds and GordenSho in Spring Cleanup

from encroaching. Most Of the
permanent grasses such as Ken
lucky blue, the fescues and bents
spread by means of underground
stolons. This is important to the
establishment Of a good turf, but
we must prevent that turf from
engulfing beds and borders. The
easiest way to accomplish this,
without the expense of a curb Is
to keep the edges Of the beds
trimmed to depth of 2 inches.
Fence borders and out-of-the-
way corners have a habit Of ac-
cumulating weeds and strong
growing plants which are un-
slightly. These should be kept
under control at all times, but
especially in the early spring be-
cause they are oftentimes the win
ter home of q number Of insect
pests. BY removing such ma
terial in the early spring the bat
tie to control insects may be les
sened. Also, some Of these weeds
are hosts to diseases and by
keeping them under control the
chance Of those diseases entering
the garden is reduced.
At all seasons Of the year we
should watch for and remove dis
eased and dead foliage. The pres
ence of such is a jarring note.
Even dead branches and stubs on
tree or shrub should be avoided if
we would have our garden attrac-
tive. Anemic, off-colored plants
detract materially from the gar
den's beauty and should be re-
moved or given suitable care to
restore health and vigor. II the
plants cannot thrive under local
conditions substitute others that
do succeed in the Washington
area.
Well-fed plants are needed for
the garden picture and it is i'm
|portant to feed them as needed.

Make It
Safe!

Wornout clothing, old clothing.
newspapers and other waste ma
terials commonly kept in base
ments should be discarded or
stored properly to avoid destruc-
tive home fires, safety experts
advise.
Basement fires are particularly,
dangerous because they are iso-
lated and can gain strength
rapidly without being noticed.
Once started, they are difficult to
get at with fire-f1ghting equip
ment. .....
To avoid the possibilities Of such
fires, home owners are urged to
pay special attention to base
ment cleanliness during spring
cleaning.

Of fertilizer per 100 square feet
Of bed is sufficient for one feed
ing. Two or three feelings should
keep them growing vigorously
throughout the season. Or, If you
would use another measure, fill a
quart jar with fertilizer and
spread it over an area 10 feet
square, but do this after shower
or watering to avoid injury.
Untamed branches of climbing
roses seldom help the gardens ap-
pearance. Keep them securely tied
to fence or trellis with stout (but
soft) cord or one of the COM
mercial 'ties." This is also i'm
|portant as q preventative of dis
ease which enters breaks in the
bark. Rose canes blowing about
in the wind scratch other canes
and those cuts are usually the
port Of entry for diseases.
Many will maintain that q
mulch does not improve the ap-
pearance Of flower bed or border.
Unquestionably that is true. How
ever, there are ways of mulching
and materials which are not un-
attractive. Certainly gardeners in
the Washington area will and
should mulch the cultivated areas
weeds, to protect the soil from
beating rains. and to conserve
moisture. BY covering the cult
waited soil with fairly well de-
|cayed compost, tanbark or even
with well-decayed sawdust, the
beds will not look as disreputable
as weedy or sun-cracked soil

Restocking the cleaning supply
closet is another problem at this
time Of the year. We found a
silver polish that has proved very
good. You can secure 1t through
the household department Of sew
eral large stores, but one of the
stores has stocked 1t In the silver
department, which might prove
more convenient. This polish re-
moves tarnish quickly and easily
without hard rubbing, and leaves
a satin finish with a minimum of
work. In fact, just few strokes
and you have beautiful luster.
1t does not contain any abrasives,
cyanide or other harmful ma
terials. And the nice part about
it Dis the fact there is no mess
to clean up after you use 1t. It
does not cake into the lines and
crevices of chased filigree silver
ware and will not dry out. It will
not scratch the finest antique
silver.
Before discarding or storing
your winter suits, coats and dresses
go over them to see if they have
developed an unsightly shine or
loss of nap. You can save them
for next years wear by having
them processed to restore the nap
and eliminate the shine-all for a
comparatively small cost. This
process does more than just re-
move the surface shine. It &C
tually renaps the fabric. making
lit look like new and the shine
cannot possibly return until the
nap has worn off again. You'll
find this means months Of extra
service from the garment. It is
effective on most types Of ma
|terials, including silks and rayons.
The exceptions are velvet, cordu-
|roys and rayons that have been
scared or iron-shined. The process
will renap flannel. tweed, >camel's
hair and similar fabrics, we are
told, If the material isn't actually
worn threadbare.
It is not supposed to injure gar
ments since no harmful chemicals
or acids are used. In fact, you
might consider that it improves
the fabric, even removing surface
scorch and fading. Dry cleaning
and pressing is also included in
the cost of the new mapping
process. The process naturally is

if the garments we have seen
