This Week in the Garden

seeds indoors for transplanting
to the garden when soil tempera-
lures and weather are favor
able. Much of the success OF
indoor planting depends upon
starting seeds at the proper
time and keeping them growing
vigorously. Better get pots, flats,
soil and seed on hand and ready,
so that they may be started at
the right time and on time.
If the amaryllis bulbs have
had a good rest, they should be
given a good drink and moved
into a warm situation. One
watering should be enough until
the new growth appears, then
water freely and keep in a warm
sunny window-temperature OF
go degrees preferred. If the soil
in the pot has not been changed
within the past year, remove the
top layer, but do not disturb the
roots and replace with a well
enriched compost soil.
The gardenia plant does not
flower freely unless the foliage
is syringed once or twice a day
Keep it in as cool a situation
as possible (not over IS degrees)
and at least partial sunlight.
When the poinsettia has lost
its foliage and is no longer at
tractive, it might well be dis
carded. They are not difficult to
grow but it is a chore in the
average home to provide the
long nights necessary for the
"bracts" to turn red. The poin-
settia needs IL to IA hours of
darkness out of each a., be-
ginning about the first of Oc-
tober to be ready for the holiday
season. If you can provide this
then park the spent plant (still
in the pot) under the laundry
tubs in the basement until the
first of May.-W. H. Y.

Now that the new cataloges
are arriving we can be armchair
gardeners without effort. But
before getting too deeply buried
in this interesting reading it
would be well to dig out the gar
den plan and make a list of the
things you Intend to grow. With
that list before you it will not
be quite so easy to succumb to
the glowing descriptions. This
does not imply that you should
not try something new-that's
always a must for a gardener.
Try one or two new things each
season, but strictly on an ex-
perimental basis until they prove
themselves. A good garden plan,
however, will insure an ample
supply of vegetables for the
table and flowers for cutting.
The Post Office Department
has issued regulations covering
the shipment of plant material
by mail - requirements which
should help to get the plants to
the buyer in good condition. It
is unfortunate that such a reg
ulation had to be issued, but all
too often plant materials reached
the buyer in a weakened, if not
hopeless condition. because of
poor packing. Gardeners receiv-
ing plant materials in a dried
out or rotten condition should
notify both the postmaster and
the shipper.
Give the house plants a good
hard Swinging with cold water
Except African violets } to re-
move the dust and to help con-
troll sucking insects. Do this in
the morning so that the foliage
will dry before the cool of the
evening. The African violetS
should dry in the shade to avoid
spotting the leaves.
The so-called "New, Blue
Rose" recently widely adver-
tised, is not new: was discarded
as a garden rose years ago. It
was once used as an understood
for hybrid-perpetual roses, but
even that use had to be given
up because it will not take much
cold weather.

Mistakes to Avoid
1t May Be Easier to Purchase Some
Flowers Than to Keep Them in Bounds

spread through shrub borders
and under hedges. Once estab-
lished it deposits a crop of seeds
each season and SO it takes sew
eral years of persistent work to
wipe it out. Like most weeds,
it should be taken care of now.
A garden tractor is a useful
implement, that is. if it makes
the laborious tasks of spading
and cultivating easier. But a
tractor that is too heavy to ham
die easily can be burden. Sew
eral local gardeners have made
the mistake of buying types that
were more of a strain on them
than they could safely take. The
old rule is a good rule: IF the
wife and children cannot use it,
don't buy" Get tools that are
both efficient and easy to op-
crate.
Placing Is Important.
Putting Sun-loving flowers in
the shade or shade-loving plants
in a hot, dry and sunny situa-
ton sounds like an impossible
mistake for any gardener to
make. They do it, usually be-
cause they buy for the flowers
or the foliage and not for the
place where the plants are to
go. Zinnias will not thrive in a
situation adapted to ferns, but
Impatiens will thrive and pros

freely, but give it a hot, dry.
sunny situation and it cannot
possibly add to the appearance
of the garden. Buy plants for
the situation that you have in
your garden, be it hot or cold,
wet or dry. sunny or shady!
Many of the little evergreens
on display in the nurseries look
like ideal plants for the founda-
ton planting. Better check on
their height at maturity-some
of them are baby forest trees.
When they grow up, and they
grow fairly quickly, they will
hide the house. There are plenty
of dwarf shrubs suited to the
purpose that will not need to be
replaced in few years. Ask
to see them, they are just as
"cute."

Sofety Urged
In Planning
Form Driveway

Families making plans fol
landscaping the home grounds
this winter should consider the
safety Of the driveway
Home owners frequently make
the mistake of planting small
evergreen trees on either side OF
the driveway entrance. or setting
hedges close to that entrance. AS
trees or hedges grow. they can
become traffic hazards by shut
ting off full view Of the street
or road.
Every farm home should have
a parking yard so that visitors
will not have to park on the
shoulders of the highway. A
place to turn around in the yard
should be provided so that cars
will not have to back onto the
highway. Circle drives are un-
necessary. More maintenance is
required and they seldom add
beauty to the landscape.
Serious Safety Hazards.
Farm safety specialists often
have pointed out that many farm
drivewayS are serious safety
hazards because the approach is
hidden by brush and trees. More
than a third Of farm accidents
result from motor vehicle mis-
haps. Blind driveways contrib
ute to this record-whether
they're in town or in the coun-
try.
To test a driveway for safety,
stop the car in the driveway
about 10 feet from the road or
street and then see whether
there is clear view several hum
dred feet, both right and left.
The safest type of driveway

widens as it approaches the road
or street and has no trees, bushes
or other obstructions to hide it.
Decorative paintings can be just
as attractive and much safer
close to the house than at the
highway entrance. However, low
growing paintings may be used
along the driveway-or hedges
that are kept trimmed low
enough so that they will not hide
cars or children.

Ike Praises Iona

For Racial Policy

New York .(CNS). Pres
ident Eisenhower, in a filmed adj
dress released this week, praised
Long Island University's policy of
not asking student applicants
about their race or origin. Long
Island University is located in
Queens, New York.
The four minute speech, which
was made several days after the
Presidents election, was just
shown June 18th at the Univer-
sity's 23rd commencement eXer-
else.
Said Ike: From its very in
ception lin 1926 this school has
been devoted to furthering the
principle that no consideration OF
race, creed or national origin
shall act as a barrier to educa-
tional opportunity. In fact, | am
advised that so scrupulouSly is
this policy followed, that no re-
cords of this nature exist in the
administration files of the univer-
sity. This to me at the inception
of my responsibilities as President
of the United States, has inspiring
and encouraging significance"

TSHIS year tens of thousands of
Americans will be travelling to
Europe, good many, no doubt,
attracted by the pageantry of the
coronation of Queen Elizabeth.
Probably a few of us will make
the most perfect ambassadors for
our country. That is scarcely re-

why we should misrepresent a
nation of decent, grown-up people
and thereby contribute to the mis-
understandings and the i'll will that
are bound to crop up anyway
between the best of the various
peoples of our Western world.
A little thoughtfulness on the
part of the American traveller will
help. So will a realization that,

they are not necessarily wrong -
or funny or queer.
