GUIDANCE
Plants for Indoor Bloom
BY W. H. YoUNGMAN

Many plants may be potted at
this season for forcing into bloom
by late winter or early spring
Some, such as the colorful
pansies and azaleas, are easy to
force. while roses and gerbera
require carefully controlled con-
ditions.
Light, temperature and mois-
ture determine rate Of growth
and quality of bloom. The
higher the temperature the more
rapid the growth, but. If 1t is
too high, weak growth and Off
color blooms will result.
Thus it is important that the
chosen plants be brought into
cool growing conditions as early
as possible and allowed to grow
under the preferred conditions
of heat.
Most of the inclosed uorches
and backyard greenhouses are
cool enough for good growth-40
to so degrees. If the tempera-
ture where the plants are to be
forced exceeds 20 degrees in the
daytime. poor growth is to be ex-
pected for most kinds of plants.
Adding Daylight"
Light is also a factor in plant
growth at this season. Some
artificial lighting may be needed
to offset periods of cloudy
weather. The length of day is
too short for certain kinds. For
tunately this is not a problem for
the majority Of plants commonly
selected for forcing.
Chrysanthemums are the best

BUFFERS FOR SAFETY
Rose Hedges Suggested
ToCut Toll on Highways

Highways of the future may
run through borders of roses or
other shrubbery. Cars speeding
out Of control into these ribbons
of thicket would be quickly en-
veloped and brought to a stop
by & more or less gradual brak-
ing. greatly reducing the loss of
life in this type of accident.
Under the title "Multiflora
Shock Absorber." N. P. Harvey
writes in the British Rose An
nual for 1856:
Rosa multiflora is frequently
used nowadays in this country
as an understood on light soils.
especially for floribundas. An
entirely new use has now been
found for this species. In the
United States. accident investi-
cation by Motor Vehicle Re-
search. Inc. has demonstrated
that many lives can be saved by
the ability of small trees and
shrubs to act as crash-barriers,
stopping a car at a reasonable
distance when it runs of the
highway.
Experimental tests indicate
that r. multif1ora might provide
the answer. A full-grown plant

high and "a feet wide is claimed
to stop a 4,000-pound vehicle
travelling at 20 to 80 miles an
hour with no apparent injury.
1T is anticipated that this
barrier will be equally effective
at so miles an hour.
"R. multiflora is stated to
continue to grow after being
crushed by impact of the car. 1t
cannot be killed out even when
burnt over"
To which, the Potomac Rose
Society bulletin appends:
will it come to the point that
our auto manufacturers, when
dilating on the horsepower and
speed of their vehicles will
also have to compute and adver-
tise the amount Of r. multiflora
hedge it will take to stop a We
hicle when 1t runs of the high
way at 80 or upwards miles per
hour?
1.-THE administrators of the
Baltimore Parkway might give
some heed to this new use of
multifloras."

known of those for which light
must be controlled to induce
Towering. Poinsettias require
long. unbroken nights Of dark
ness to color up. Most of the
plants form their flower buds
under specific light and temper
ature conditions, so those that
are to be forced need only
warmth and moisture to start
into growth.
| Moisture may also be a prob
lem in forcing plants. especially
where the air is dry. Wetting
the walks and walls is helpful
but may not be adequate to over
come hot, dry air. Lightly syring-
ing the plants may be resorted to,
although this has to be done
carefully to avoid overwhelming
the soil.
Group for Temperature
Plants for forcing should be
grouped according to their tenn
Iperature requirements. Pansies,
stock, snapdragons and many
other early bloomers, thrive at
40 to so degrees night time and
S to 10 degrees higher in the
day time. Roses, on the other
hand, need rs degrees if long
stems are desired.
/ 1t might we'll be emphasized
here that for best results in fore
ing, we should have well de-
veloped, large roots. bulbs and
plants. 1t is unwise to expect
a small bulb, plant or bush to
produce good display Of bloom
unless it has built up strength

The dry atmosphere In the

LIFE IN
THE COUNTRY
Egg Blowing and YuIe Activity
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD

A small town church bazaar
brings to light talents you never
knew existed.
Whoever would have believed
that our Mayor E. B. White was
the champion egg blower. or that
Polly Clemens could make Santa
Clauses and angels out Of the
resulting empty egg shells?
And then, there is Miss Azeele
Caruthers who lives with Judge
and Mrs. Alexander and who is
a specialist in drying plants.
Miss Caruthers. in fact, has
raised everything from devils
claws to St. Peters pence, and
has dried most of it.
She dries plants in all stages
of development. and in many
she is able to preserve the colors.
No wonder her dried plants were
In demand at Fridays bazaar at
St. James Episcopal Church.
They are used for making holi-
day arrangements.
But l believe the closest CO.
operation in getting things ready
for the bazaar has been worked
out between Polly Clemens and
Mayor White.
Polly takes the eggs down to
the mayor. His Honor carefully
picks holes In each end of the
shells and Just as carefully blows
the contents into bowl.
When this Job is finished,
Polly carries the shells and the
bowl home with her, Her hus-
band. John William. and the rest
of the family are treated TO
scrambled eggs for breakfast,
and the shells get fashioned into
angels and Santa Clauses for
the bazaar.
This all has been reported to
me by my wife. who has had the
house upset for the last week

ments out Of the old fash bulbs

this work. l am thankful. has
been carried out at the church,
rather than at home; for I hear

the time of year to get many
chores done.

where they are to grow.
Bulbs can still be planted, as
well as rose bushes and dormant

When to Mulch
It's too early to mulch the
strawberry bed, but it is not toe
early to get the bale or two OF
straw that will be needed for this
job.
Mulch after the ground is
frozen so as to keep it frozen.
A layer Of straw. 8 to 4 inches
thick, will give the desired pro-
lection. Severe winter plant
losses, as well as loses ,of fruit
buds, may be expected in un-
mulched beds.
Pruning Aids Decorating
Now is the time to combine
pruning and decoration. The
pruning of hollies and ever
greens at this season provides
much useful material for holi-
day decorations. This pruning
stimulates compact. attractive
growth of the pruned plants
Some small plants may best be
Ipruned on one side this season
and on the opposite side next
year. Top pruning is also desir-
able to check the rate of upward
growth but this may require de-
veloping a new leader" later on
Trees and Shrubs
1t is not too early to start the
pruning of deciduous trees and
shrubs. There will be many mild
days in which this work can be
done.
Use a tree dressing on all cuts

Lily Bulb Planting
In planting lily bulbs it is good
insurance to place the bulb on an
inch layer of sand. If the bulb
scales are loose, or open, place
the bulb on its side. This pre-
vents moisture from collecting
between the scales. In very heavy
soils the bulb might also be COW
