This Week in the Garden

Last weeks showers helped
some but they were hardly in
time. There will be some loss
among the recently planted trees
and shrubs. perhaps a few OF
those established on the poorer
soils or planted without soil en-
riched with humus.
The fall flower shows, also will
be affected by the drought be-
cause dahliaS and chrysanthe-
NUNS that could not be watered
were stunted by the long dry pc
riod. Nevertheless, gardener
should take care of disbudding
and all other steps necessary to
have their flowers and vegetables
in the best condition possible for
the many shows that are sched-
uled for the next two months.
Now that the ground is soft
enough to be worked it is well
to take care of the many planting
and transplanting jobs. Daffodils
should be planted as soon as the
bulbs are available. They make
early root growth and this is
reason enough for early planting.
Peony roots should be obtained
and put into the ground. The
seeding perennials and blernisls
also benefit by early planting.
In the vegetable garden the
only crops to be planted at this
season are lettuce. radishes, spin
ach and perennial onions. 1t is
too late for kale. collards, Chinese
cabbage, etc
Sowing of grass seed and the
fertilizing of the lawn should be
taken care of as soon as time

Selecting Shrubs
A Few Common Sense Questions Preven1
Disappointment and Hard Work Loter
By Wilbur H. Younemon

or removing. Crowded shrubs and
trees do not thrive and, of course,
no one wants "a jungle where the
woody plants are so thick that the
only ones to benefit are the birds
seeking secluded meeting place.
Keep Changes at Minimum.
This is not to imply that a
garden or foundation planting
should be perfect at first. We all
enjoy overhauling and replacing
plants that do not produce the
desired effect. But, we should be
careful in our choices and keep
such changes to minimum. In
the first place the fewer the
changes the lower the cost of the
paintings. Secondly, the later
additions are smaller than the
first and look out of proportion,
although they are only younger.
The last point in selecting
shrubs is a word of caution. Do
not seek some rare or new plant
until they have proved their
usefulness they belong in an
aboretum. The tried and true
are the safest Moreover they
usually are obtainable in all
nurseries. Occasionally garden
Ell will wish to buy the shrubs
that he o. she knew back home. :"
That IS always desirable. but first
find out whether or not they are
adapted to the Washington area
Maybe they are satisfactory here
but all too often they need special
care.
This may seem -simplifi-
cation. but in most cases it will
enable buyer to get the neces-
sary telp from the nurseryman.
They are experienced in the kinds
and varieties of trees and shrubs
adapted to the Washington area,
but they cannot offer the best
suggestions without knowing the
site for each plant. Given that
information. they can show you
several kinds and you may select
the ones which have the most
appeal.
The evergreens should be
planted within the next few
weeks the deciduous trees and
shrubs normally are not planted
here until after mid November. -

picture shrubs so that the mex
perienced can know just which
ones will serve his purpose. It is
far more satisfactory to have a
nurseryman visit the grounds and
suggest those which will best serve
the purposes for which they are
needed. Or, one may visit the
nursery and ask to see the ones
most likely to be satisfactory.
This latter approach is rela-
lively common and should be
satisfactory under most circunl-
stances, because most nurserymen
wish to be helpful. But, it is up
to the gardener to describe the
situation accurately and to ask
Questions. These questions should
bring out first the cultural re-
quirements. Will the shrub thrive
in sun or shade. in dry situation.
one that is exposed to drying
winds. or perhaps the reflected
heat of the buildings walls? How
tall will it be at maturity? Does
it have many insect enemies and
what about diseases? We don't
want plants that are going to be
a chore to protect from pests and
diseases. There are very few not
subject to some Ill, but We should,
other factors being equal. select
those that are comparatively free.
The checking of the plants
appearance. too, is very important
because in the smaller yard. where
each plant is more or less on
parade. we should seek those that
nave nearly year round values.
Most of the Towering shrubs are
attractive when in bloom, but for
the most of them that is matter
of few weeks. What about the
rest of the summer and, the win
ter, too? For example, if the
foliage tends to be dull or lack
color 1t is of little off-season
merit. The weigela, for instance,
is a most attractive shrub while
in bloom. but the rest Of the year
is too harsh to rate very highly.
The Japanese holly, variety con-
vexa, is a lower growing shrub
than the species. bat more i'm
portant has glossier, more
interesting foliage.
! Size Of Plant Is Important.
/ These are suggestions of the
/ things to ask the nurSeryman SO
that the shrubs selected for the
home grounds will give the ex-
pected results. Few people are
critical enough, largely because
they do not know shrubs and. too
often. they expect them to retain
their juvenile texture, color and
sparkling appearance. If they
would be as critical of shrubs as
they are when buying new hat
or a pair of shoes subsequent dis
appointments might be consider
ably fewer.
/ Another point that needs more
attention is the size of plant TO
buy. The tendency is to buy the
largest size possible SO as to
achieve an immediate effect. This
is unnecessary. Often it is mis-
take. A young plant, of small
size, usually transplarts with little
or no shock, and with normal care
will make more of a showing a few
years hence than the larger one
which suffered loss of roots
bruises. ETC., when transplanted
In other words, don't be afraid
, to purchase the smaller sizes OF
plants. it will save money ant
usually give better results.
In buying shrubs and trees fol
the home grounds it is better fc
err on too few than on toe
many, They all grow up and il
given space and care will reacn

and bent grasses will make strong
growth now that the competition
from weeds is decreasing and the
weather favors growth.
| Now is the time to give the
evergreenS a trimming. All kinds
except spruce and frs benefit
by this annual care. In trimmins
| it is essential to cut back to q
! fork or leaf so as to avoid deac
stubs. Regular annual pruning
helps to keep them within bounds
and compact. When top growth
takes too much of the sap. lower
branches shed their needles ano
they become bare legged. Close
clipping destroys the natural habit
Of growth and should be avoided
except in a formal garden.
1t is time to SOW crimson clover
Or common rye grass in the vege-
table garden to protect the sol
from erosion during the winter
and to increase the humus con-
tent. The crimson clover seed
should be inoculated before plant
ing. Sowing green manure crops
is the cheapest way to improve
soil. For every growth on poor
ground, the cover crop seed should
should fertiliZed.
A feeding of the strawberry bed
at this season will increase the
strength and productivity of the
plants. Use a 5-10-5 fertilizer,
to 4 pounds per 100 square feet
Of bed. If the plants are spaced
less than 10 inches apart they
should be thinned.
A dust Is effective in control''no
the fall webwormS. The dust
penetrates the web, which is SO
closely woven that it stops most OF
the sprays. Where a flame will
not damage the tree or shrub, the
nests may be destroyed with q
torch.
In ordering bulbs for fall plant
ing do not neglect the small. early
spring boomers. They are the
first to bring spring to us and we
need them. A few crocus. winte.
aconite. snowdrops. glory of the
snow, planted in a warm. shell
tered spot, will bloom long be-
fore cold weather is past.
Dewy nights are conducive to
mildew and blackspot injury to
roses and the spraying or busting
schedule should be followed regu-
larly if the diseases are to be kept
under control. No doubt some will
feel that the season is so nearly
over that this routine can be
dropped. However. a healthy
plant will go into the winter with
greater vitality and be more re-
sistant to winter injury.
Rooted cuttings, such as azaleas,
should be transplanted to a well
prepared bed where they may
continue growth. 1t is quite likely
that they will need protection
from winter wind and sun if they
are to survive their first winter
when all Of their wood is young
and tender. An early transplant
ing is important. otherwise they
should be moved into a cold frame
The soil mixture in the bed should
include a liberal mixture of peat
moss, some sand and at least hall
loan. If space permits, set the
Icittings foot apart SO that they
may remain for year.
The sowing of seeds of hardy
ANIMALS should commence as soon
as space is available. The first to
be sown include larkspur. nigella
land cornf1ower (batchelor'S but
tons). They make considerable
fall growth and live over winter
as dormant plants. The others
Should follow-Shirley poppies,
Iceland poppies, portulaca, sweet
alyssum, snapdragon, calendula,
etc. These, however, are sown
late in the fall and lie dormant
