Discusses Sowing
Garden Seeds


BOHEMIAN - The practice of pro-
ducing vegetable seeds is a rather
exacting one, and is usually left to
the specialized seed grower. Yet,
many amateur gardeners save seed
of some vegetable crops such as
tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumbers,
peas and beans with more or less
good success.
The amateur gardener can be
very successful at this task if he
takes pains to choose only the best
plants from which to select his seed.
If the particular vegetable crop is
one that is easily croSs-pollinated
le must take care to grow only the
one variety, and make sure this var.
iety is not growing near neighb0r'
ing fields which contain other var.
ieties of the same crop.
Sweet corn is an example of {
cross pollinated vegetable. Another
variety growing nearby will contain
mate plants being used for the
seed CROP The resultant seeds vii
contain cross ordinations of two O
more varieties - so the reSultan
crop will be mixture. Sweet cor
is wind pollinated so a large per
centage of crossing takes place
two or more varieties grow nea
one another. Some gardeners hav
built up excellent strains of thei
own seed by specializing in tn
growing of one variety. Becaus
earliness is such an important fat
tor in Montana, some gardener
have developed early strains {
some desirable variety of swet
! corn. However, they have found
necessary to restrict themselves
one variety to prevent cross-pollil
alton.
Normally, little cross-pollinatic
takes place with tomatoes, so sex
|, saving with this crop is not too dill

icult It is usually easy to, keep a
stock fairly pure as to variety over
a period of years because of the
little cross-pollination taking place
with the tomato crop. Peas and beans
act in a similar manner, so main /
tanning the purity is not too diff
cult with these crops, either How
ever, with peans, if there is dan
ger of infection with bacterial or
halo blight, it is not wise to save
such seed, since these diseases live
in the seed from year to year.
With some of the root crops,
which are biennial in nature, seed
saving among amateur gardeners
is not practiced to any extent. These
crops produce their roots the first
season, and then 60 dormant and
produce their seed heads the fol-
lowing season. Examples of this
| group of plants are cabbage, cauli-
flower, broccoli, radish, beets tnr-
nips, rutabagas, onions, carrots and
parsnips. Because of the severe win
tiers, it would be necessary in this
area to dig up and store the roots
over the winter in a root storage
and plant them out the next spring
to produce the seed crop. If condi-
tons are favorable, seeds can be
produced from some of these crops
the first season.
Potatoes are not commonly grown
| from true seed. If they were, much
| variation in the crop would result
In general, they are asexually pro
pagated from tubers. 1t is custom
airy for many home gardeners tt
save their "seed" potatoes from
year to year. Because they recog
nize the importance of certain viru
and other diseases which troubl
the potatoe, some gardeners do ;
good job in saving their seed tubers
They select their seed from tn
healthiest potato vines in the pc
tato patch, putting aside the re
mainder for household use. Man
gardeners do not practice this sc
| lection, and quite often save tn
smallest tubers for seed, irregart
less of what plants they come from
This is the surest and quickest wa
l. of building up virus and other pot;
to diseases.

Interiors With Ideas
End Of the Trail Found
Here by Trailer Couple

Have you ever dreamed of liv-
ing in a trailer, then dismissed
the idea because you thought a
trailer would be a cold, rootless
home?
If you have, read on and be
introduced to the George w. Mill
ers, who live in a cozy, person
allied trainer home surrounded
by a tiny garden.
The Millers have lived in their
trailer for eight years, at
Blandy's Trailer Park on Rock
vile Pike. They bought it so Mr.
Miller-a retired electrician-and
his wife could travel around the
country, and eventually settle in
California.
Setting out from their midwest
home, they came to Bethesda to
visit their only daughter, and
liked Maryland so much they de-
cided to stay.
Their trailer is a compact
apartment, with everything from
a formica-topped double sink to
a spare bedroom. To the built-in
furnishings, Mrs. Miller has
added few pieces of her own
furniture, to make it truly a
home. Several tables and two
chairs, all small in scale, blend
with the built-ins.
The trailer came with a break
fast bar which opens into an ex,
tension dining table, but Mr..
Miller built a small drop-leaf
table which the couple prefer.
Set into one end of the trailer
is sofa which can be used as
a guest bed. To the sides and
above the sofa, Mr.. Miller has
put up shelves for their favorite
bric-a-brac, including a vase he
gave his wife before they were
married 48 years ago.
OF all the things in her home,
Mrs. Miller gets most pleasure
out of her plants. She has dozens
of them, from potted African vio-
lets to vines in hanging vases.
So her flowers could get the
sun, her husband built glass
shelves in front of one of the
trailer's two picture windows.
Above the windows, Mrs. Miller
has set plants into the plywood
cornices. All the windows have
venetian blinds and curtains on
traverse rods.
To fix up the outside of their
home, Mr.. Miller built a wooden
porch, and put up an aluminium
canopy to shield it from the sun.
Beyond the porch he put down a
stone terrace. Mrs. Miller has
planted beds of flowers around
the porch, and next to the white
picket fence her husband built.
Mr.. Miller's work shop, at the
back of the yard, is hidden by
latticeS covered with ivy.
Both of the Millers love wild.

One of their bird feeding-stations
has become a most original dec

Now, the ivy has completely
covered the pole, and grows
around it in the shape of an ever
