The more than 5000 members
Of Garden Clubs in the Greater
Washington area are working to
make the 1865 National Capital
Flower and Garden Show the
most interesting of five produced
here. The Armory event OPEN
ing March 10-less than three
weeks hence-is a joint effort Of
the National Capital Garden
Club League and the Allied
Florists of Greater Washington.
Last year 100000 persons at
tended and the show has come to
be regarded as one nf the most
outstanding in the East.
How will the new show differ?
The theme, "All Nature is But
Art" will be interpreted in some
20 gardens by the clubs. The
Reflection Gardens" featuring
pools. will be of interest. Coins
tossed in larger pools will go to
the Crippled Children's Society.
1.-THE Split-Level Garden" de-
signed for grounds at the rear
of a house, should prove unique.
With increased emphasis on out
door living, the Outdoor Dining
Area" with tables in appropriate
settings will be enlightening.
According to Mrs. Charles v.
Shannon and Mrs. Paul E. Fer
rers, jr., entries chairmen, en-
tries for gardens and flower ar
rangements have been filled by
rs participating clubs.
In addition, Woodward &
Lothrop will be furnishing two
rooms for the show. These rooms
have proven extremely popular
in past years in that they afford
practical and attractive settings
for flower arrangements. To fur
ther enhance these rooms Wood
ward & Lothrop is construct
ing two gardens-one opening
from each of the furnished
rooms. Mrs. Arthur F. Striker,
chairman Of the Committee on
Judges, has invited judges from
all over the Eastern seaboard, as
well as the Middle West.
The As flower arrangement
classes should tax the imagina- =
ton and skill of the exhibitors.
For instance, on opening day,
March 10. the theme is Drama. !"
Among the arrangements to be
executed on that day will be a
composition interpreting Mid
summer Nights Dream" Themes
on succeeding days will be "Mu-
sic." Dancing" Painting" !"
Sculpture" Literature" and
Crafts" Arrangements in each
of these classes will be changed
daily, assuring visitors a new and
interesting variety each day.
Special orchid exhibits will be
arranged by the National Capital

Beautyberry (Callicarpa pur-

since they blossom on the new
wood and an occasional hard
pruning helps to keep them
lower and more compact as well
as to insure a better display Of

March 20 Toraet Dote

March 20 is the time most gar
deners figure to begin setting out
deciduous trees and shrubs. You
could even order strawberry and
asparagus plants for delivery at
that time. Certainly rose bushes
should be planted then. OF
course, If the ground is too wet
they may have to be healed in

Shode Trees Need Help
After Drought and Winds
By W. H. Younemon

Shade trees in the Washington
area have had a tough year.
Many trees have been dam
aged while others are in need
of treatment to prevent damage
from, the elements in the future.
Summer droughts have tended
to weaken many Of our shade
trees and so render them more
susceptible to insect and disease
injury. which in turn weakens
them so that storms damage
them. There is no question but
that Hurricane Hazel did a tre-
mendous amount Of damage to
the trees in this area. We have
had both ice and snow storms
this winter but they do not seem
to have added greatly to the
seasons toll of destruction.
Repairs to damaged trees can
be made at any time. The win
ter season is preferred by some
because it is easier to see the
limbs. Sap is not flowing and
that is another advantage Of
winter work even though one
may be a bit more awkward,
especially when bundled UP in
heavy clothing. Careful prepera-
tion and caution is urged.
Cleanse ond Close Wounds
Broken branches and any dead
limbs remaining should be re-
moved and the wounds cleansed
and properly protected. This is
exceedingly important since it
Is through these channels that
rot enters the trunk. Interior
decay weakens a tree quickly so
that it soon becomes a victim of
q windStorm. Trees have been
known to fall of their own weight.
Pruning to remove stubs and
broken branches is not a diff
cult or complicated Job. Nor
does it take expensive and sell
dom-used equipment. There are
many ways of doing the Job, and
most Of them will do, but let's
try to do it the right way, the
one that is going to permit the
wounds to heal quickly. By all
means coat the wound with q
tree-dressing or some protective
covering that will exclude dis
eases and reproducing fungi
while the healing takes place.
Pruning Sows inexpensive
An ordinary wood saw will
serve. but the larger toothed
pruning saws are easier to oper-
ate. They are relatively mex
pensive. If the limb is more than
an inch or two in diameter, it
should be undercut a few inches
away from the trunk so that
when the limb begins to fall 1t
will not tear the bark. For large
limbs, 4, S or more inches in
diameter, the second cut should
be so close to the trunk that there
the undercut. This will drop the
limb and a third and final cut
may be made as close to the
trunk as is possible and parallel
to it. The second cut does this
when removing the smaller
limbs.
If the bark is torn in the re-
moval of limbs or stubs, then
the injured section should be
smoothed and shaped to permit
rapid healing.
Sap flows freely up and down
through the cambium layer. but
In a latterly direction very slow
ly. This fact should be kept In
mind when shaping a wound. It
also explains why the cut must
be close to the trunk that there
Is not the least semblance Of a
stub left. Sap does not flow out
to the end Of a stub. Wounds

Preparation Of Stokes

Now Is a good time to clean
and paint the stakes to be used
this summer for supporting to-
matoes. dahlias, beans, etc. Re-
move the dirt and decayed wood
and then paint with q wood
preservative, preferably one Of
the newer copper materials. Two
coatings will protect the stakes
for two or three years. If desira-
BILE they may be painted with an
oil paint after the preservative
has dried. Do not use ereosote
for this purpose as 1t affects
nearby plant roots.
