is so busy. They have their own
homes and families to take up
their time. When Mabel comes
it is usually for a short visit, and
almost before she gets in the
house, her husband blows the
horn for her to hurry along. She
usually gives me cake, and a
pat on the back; sometimes a
hug, then she is off and gone.
You see am not able to cook
and do a lot of things for her
like she is used to at home; my
house just doesn't have the COM
forts of her house.
"And Mack. Mack he never
was one for staying in the house,
so he doesn't stop long. You see
he is now grown up, and neither
he nor Mabel see things as I see
them; they just don't under
stand"
The conversation had taken a
turn which seemed to me rather
unusual for one who is called
crazy, but I continued with it.
''The time drags slowly does it
not?" I asked. els there anything
I can do to help"
ooh no." she said. "there isn't
anything anyone can do, except
me. You see when folks try to
conjure up things to comfort a
shut in, it is hard on the patient
as well as the well-meaning per-
son who makes the effort to be
helpful. I have learned to help
myself, you see. 1t is too much a
sacrifice for others when they try
to help me. The struggle on their
faces is just too painful, as they
seem so perplexed and confused
with the effort of offering to
help"
Well, anyway, I thought to my
self, maybe this good lady isn't
too crazy after all.
"Now you couldn't understand
how it is" she continued. "You
who have never reared children,
and you and other women who
have never lost one, are helpless
when trying to comfort a person
like me. But I find comfort my
Self. Let me tell you just how
much comfort it is to have Mile
and Mike always before me.
when I used to be home late
at night, sitting up sewing and
waiting for my husband to come
home, and the children would be
safe in bed while 1 made things
for them, then I would be plan
ming what they should do and
who they should be when they
grew up and went away. That's
how got along while the old
man was away at night.
'It is fine to weave dreams and
to live them and look forward to
their fulfilment, and they make
golden memories to come back to,
even if they don't come to pass.
Like others, my dreams didn't
come true always. And now
Mabel and Mack are grown up
and gone away from me, and so
much that hoped for them has
never happened.
"Yet Mile and Mike have
never left me. They live in my
mind and every moment they
are in my heart. I can never for
get them. You see the things they
left me?"
She opened a little basket and
she took out a lock of golden
hair; and then little shoe,
stubby and wrinkled, and worn
at the toes, with the strings
shrunken and frayed and hang
ing over the side. She took out
the articles one by one: A red
knitted-sock, a pair of little blue
pants, baby's bonnet, with pink
ribbons, a small silver locket, a
tiny gold ring.
An angelic tenderness shone
in her ewes as she gently picked

Spring Planting of Roses
SuccessfuIh Done Eor|y
BY NeiIs J. Honsen
Vice President. American Rose Society

For many years nurserymen
and rose societies have agitated
for and preached the advantages
of fall planting of rose bushes,
and many reasons are given for
such practice. There is no doubt
that fall planting Of roses, prop
erly ripened in the nursery be-
fore digging and shipping, gives
very fine results. About the only
danger with fall planting comes
from plants dug prematurely-
that is, before the plants have
gone at least partly into a dor
mant stage due to weather con-
ditions.
However, the market clamors
for rose plants early in the fail
when q revival of the gardening
fever which has been dormant
during the hot summer months
takes place. The nurseryman
can steel himself to refuse sales
at that time. He may lose a few
customers, but he will gain the
confidence Of those who take his
advice and wait for delivery un-
til the chance for success is al
most assured. In this area it
would be November and Decem-
ber.
Weather Is a Factor.
There has been an equal
amount of agitation in favor of
spring planting, and the reasons
advanced for this practice sound
just as plausible as those en-
ployed to prove fall planting
more advantageous. But when it
comes to spring planting, the
earlier it is done the better. BY
actual measurements. under
scientific control, it has been
proved that there is very little
difference in growth and flower
production during the first sum-
mer between fall and spring
planted roses, provided the

Certain Elements
Make Plants Grow

Plants need many elements to
grow well. Carbon, hydrogen
nitrogen, and oxygen comprise
about 95 per cent of the dry
weight of the plant. Practically
all Of the carbon comes from
the carbon dioxide in the air
hydrogen and much of the oxy-
gen come from water taken in
by the roots. The rest of the
oxygen is obtained from the air.
Although air also contains 78 per
cent nitrogen, no plants except
legumes, are able to use this
source, and must depend upon
the supply in the soil.
Other necessary elements, cal
cium, magnesium, sulphur, iron
boron. manganese, copper, zinc
and molybdenum, plus a host of
other elements not known to be
essential, make up the remain
ing weight. These elements must
come either from the soil or
from the plant foods supplied
by man.
When one or more of them
is lacking, the plants will show
hunger signs. When plants are
literally starving to death" the
symptoms are fairly easy to rec
ognize but when they are merely
hungry, diagnosing the trouble
is more difficult even though
yields may be reduced or blooms
become inferior in size and
color.

Garden Lilies Popular Choice
For Slope Site Planting
By S. l. EmsweIIer

Garden lilies are becoming
more popular in this area as gar
deners become better acquainted
with the many varieties that can
be successfully grown. Among
the species and varieties now
available one can make a Selec-
ton that will produce flowers
from late May to early October.
Lilies, like all flowers, have
certain cultural requirements
that must be met if good results
are desired. Probably the most
important factor is good soil
drainage. A slightly sloping site
is preferable to planting on fiat
ground. Never plant on a low
spot where water accumulates
after rains. Light friable soils
are better than heavy soils and
high fertility is very important.
While 'speciosum and auratum
are usually considered difficult
Evening star., 1953-03-08

lilies. both have been grown very
successfully in this section. They
both do well in an acid soil and
are happy when planted with
azaleas on very well-drained soil.
The Madonna lily, Lilium can
didum, should be more widely
grown. This lily must never be
planted with the top of the bulb
deeper than l to 11a inches below
the soil level. It must have a
well-drained location.
The accompanying list of
species and varieties have all
performed we'll in this area.
Those generally considered as
easy to grow include pumilum,
hollandicum, pardalinum, regale,
centifolium, longiflorum, Davidii,
tigrinum, superbum, Dunkirk,
Coronation, Enchantment, Camp
fire, Shuksan, Lemon Lady, Max
will and the Havemeyer and
Aurelian hybridS.

Fountains and WoterpooIs
Enhance Shows Gardens
BY w. H. Younomon
Garden Editor

Among the myriad suggestions
for the garden minded visitor at
the National Capital Flower and
Garden Show at the National
Guard Armory, is the subtle hint
as to the use of water in the
carrying out of the natural
serenity of a well planned layout.
Several display gardens have
pools with interesting effects.
One has a fountain and another
has waterfall.
In each, the array of flowers
and plants is different. demon
Strating that pools and fountains
lend their charm to a diversified
number of arrangements.
Brick and stone also have their
place in this years construction
of type gardens. To some, they
lend an atmosphere of formality
and the types of material used
also attract a lot of attention.
Paving and walls emphasize the
symmetrical effect of some of
the special displays.
Many exhibits have the names
of the plants and flowers used
placed conSpicuouSly on markers,
aiding the visitor to acquaint the
catalogue name with the plant
material itself.
Artistry in Arrangement.
The 1858 show, acclaimed by
many as the best one yet, dis
plays several kinds of gardens.
The variety and quality of the
plant materials ana their uses
all make for an intriguing eff
feet. Besides the thrill of seeing
colorful blooms after the drab-
ness of winter, the visitor can
appreciate the perfect artistry of
choice arrangement and the
pleasing panorama of the entire
show when viewed from a bal
cony seat.
The plants and shubs have
been gromed to perfection and
their groupings and accessories
carry out themes of spring
marching into summer with a
procession of color. Home own
erS may pick up many an idea
from the classified exhibits and
special arrangements.

spring planting was done early
enough.
Here of course, the rub comes
in. What is early and late and
what is too late? Unfortunately.
the question cannot be an
swered definitely because of the
vicissitudes of the weather. What
is early enough one year may be
late another year and too late
at some other time. In the Dis
trict of Columbia and nearby
Maryland and Virginia, March
especially early March-is an
ideal time to plant dormant
roses, but often enough the
weather is not suitable. AS we
enter April. we are up against
the late and too-late question.
Loss in Storage.
One other factor comes into
the picture as spring advances.
That is the progressive desicca-
ton of plants held in storage
under artificial conditions. Such
storage reduces the vitality Of
the plant and thereby the
chances of success after plant
ing. This is especially true If
the weather is hot and dry. No
amount of water applied after
planting can make up for that
lost in storage. While the plant
may live, it cannot be expected
to do as we'll as one planted at
the proper time before deteri-
grafton.
To overcome the uncertainties
connected with spring planting,
some nurseries do not sell dor.
mant plants except during the
fall and early winter planting
season. Any plants that are left
over are put in deep, suitable
pots and placed outdoors where
the plants spend the winter un.
der natural weather conditions.
They are protected from excess

DoIomite for Roses

The use of Epson salts on
roses in the early spring has been
advocated, applying about a
heaping tablespoon per bush.
However, rose growers may sup
ply all of the magnesium sulphate
(the desired ingredient in Epson
salts) by an occasional applica-
ton of dolomite "a ground
limestone with 5 to per cent
magnesium. OVERRIDING the ap-
plication of magnesium sulphate
can be injurious, but most of our
roses suffer from the lack Of it.
