Prune to Keep
Evergreens Shapely

When homeowncrs plant ever
greens they often stand back from
the new planting and imagine how
nice it will look after it grows up
into shapely, compact tree or
shrub. SO they are naturally disap-
pointed if the plant grows up to
become open and straggly.
zone important step in prevent
ing this disappointment is to prop
erly prune the plant" says Carl N.
Johnson, landscape architect in the
University of Maryland horticul-
ture department. "All too often
evergreens are planted and then
neglected as far as pruning is con-
cerned."
johnson gives the timely pointer
that July is about the time of year
when growth on evergreen plants
has reached the proper condition

Is Your Name
Hardesty?
DID YOU KNOW THAT:

HARDESTY, an old and honored
English surname, is of relatively
simple origin 1t is the equivalent
Of Hardisty and it is said that it
stems from "hardolfsty" meaning
"sty of Hardolf." In this connection
is should be noted that Hardolf
was a popular personal name in
ancient times; and bearers Of it,
who were engaged in the business
of raising cattle, poultry or swine,
were often given the name of Har-
dolfsty when surnames first came
into vogue. Mention should also be
made of the fact that the parish of
Fcwston, seven miles from Otley,
Yorkshire County, England, is the
ancestral home of a substantial
segment of present-day HARDES-
TVS and Hardistys, for these
names have now been popular there
for over six centuries.
HEIEKIAH HARDESTY, who
was born in 1863 on the Eastern
Shore Of Maryland and died in IL
linois, served as a private in the
Continental troops during the Revo-
lutionary War.
The first census Of the United
States, taken in 1890, has five list
ings of men bearing the name of
HARDESTY, who were residents
of Maryland and heads of families
at that time. They lived in Mont
gomery, Prince Georges and St.
Marys counties.
There are eight listings of the

If shearing is done before mid
July, the new growth that follows
will mature so the plants will live

shearing is delayed beyond that
time, the new growth may not ma

1t is not advisable to prune the
broad-leaved evergreens such as
rhodendrons, azaleas, mountain
laurel and related plants in July,
because this shearing will tend to
result in no bloom next year.
Johnson adds, however, that
broad-lcayed evergreens such as
boXtree Japanese hollies and re-
lated plants may be sheared. "If
you like these plants neat and
trim throughout the winter, wait
until after the middle Of Septem-
Der to give them the final shear
ing. They will be mature enough
then so no new growth will start.

Summer Widens Choice
Most of the new crop of pack

Sented now largely for the con-
venience of planning for a sea-
son when children are free from
school. One of the most popular
types of tours, for instance. CEN
ters on the Vests national
parks, and such trips seldom
begin before mid-June.
Perhaps Europe is the best ex-
ample of a travel objective that
always has tours in packaged
form, with the coming of summer
simply broadening the choice.

The Travellers Notebook

Like magazine authors who
write Christmas-edition stories
in July. the men who package"
vacations were busy through the
winter putting together the
pleasant and necessary items
that go into 1954's summer tours.
Their ideas already have be-
come realities, complete with
enhancing descriptions and price
tags. They have appeared by
the hundreds within the last
few weeks and. in folder form,
crowd the racks in the Offices
of travel agents.
Europe-New England-Flor-
ida-the Vests national parks
the Orient-Canada; virtually
no place in the free world lacks
a packaged vacation.
Even New York City and
Maryland's Ocean City are not
too close to Washington to be
the objective of packaged vaca-
tions. And if there is not one
that has all the ingredients the
individual desires, the travel
agent has the know-hoW tc
tailor a package to his taste.

ally take their vacations over the

but not knowing their next move

way of train. plane, ship or bus
but this, is not always SO. Hotels
themselves often offer packages

Montreal, New York and Mia
mi Beach are perhaps best
known for their all-expense ho-
tel packages. But whatever the
vacation, the package generally
includes transportation, lodging,
meals. and such sideline activi-
ties as to make the trip memo
rable and worth while.
Do Nothing Vocotions
One can even dispense with
the ordinary tourist activities
and use the comfortable and
scenic spot solely for lazing. AT
least one such package has been
designed for that purpose.
It was dreamed up by the
