This Week

The balmy days lately gave
gardeners new lift and NUM-
ber of long postponed jobs were
completed. It was an ideal situa-
ton for the application of q
dormant spray to clean UP scale
insects and over-wintering spores
on woody shrubs. Those who did
not take advantage of the favor
able weather in January should
be ready for the next combina-
ton of warm days and above
freezing temperatures at night.
Spring minded bulbs put their
heads above ground. thereby
causing their owners worry. Bulb
foliage showing at this time will
not suffer injury from freezing
and need not be covered. It is
only when a freeze occurs after
the bud is showing and near.
opening that there is danger Of
injury to the bloom. After the
ground is frozen cover the bed
with pine boughs or coarse COM
post. This will aid in keeping the
soil cool and prevent the bulbs
from growing during periods of
above-normal temperatures.
A recent publication of the
Agriculture Department describes
the use of wood chips as mulch
and for improving the soil tex
ture. The authors state that chips
are superior to sawdust for sew
eral purposes and require less
nitrogen supplement. The chips
are made by a special machine
which cuts branches, poles and
other material into slices of vary
ing thickness. Ask for Leaf1et No.

Queens. a new tomato variety,
is about 10 days earlier than
Rutgers, and otherwise closely
resembles that standard variety.
For early season production ID
would seem to be preferable to
Rutgers.
Ponderosa has for a long time
been the favorite tomato with
gardeners who gloried in size.
They grew it in spite of its bad
cracking. green cap, and sus-
ceptibility to disease. Big Boy,
a hybrid, grows as large and is
superior in other ways to the
Ponderosa. Gardeners who are
interested in size might well
switch to Big Boy. 4

great care, are kept disbudded

would be on a very small scale,
we would make costumes and
invite only friends and rela-

For Mrs. M. A. T., Silver

is from q delightful cook book
from the West Coast, titled
Happy Eating": IF I had to
spend the rest Of my life on Q
desert isle with one companion
1t would be the Herb Ore
gano." This author says you
can put 1t in practically every

hamburgers, gravies. tomatoes.
Scrambled eggs take to it won-
derfully. I would suggest that
you start out with a small
pinch and try your taste buds
on it-experience will tell you
Just how much to add. It may
be used as it comes from the
package, although I usually
mash it with my fingers as I
add it. I'm sure you will like
the results. Herbs are q very
interesting study, and my col.
lection includes basil, mar
toram, bay, rosemary, tarragon,
sage and mint.
A little oregano goes a long
way, so although 1t seems ex-
pensive when first purchased,
it isn't as bad as it seems. I
