Walks and paths are inexpen-
sive to build, but to build them
properly will require strict con-
formity to certain mechanical
requirements. If built right,
walks and patios can be trouble
free. If built hastily and with
out proper attention to known
scientific practices they must be
rebuilt later If they are to con-
tinue as architectural assets. A
good book Or phamphlet on the
subject should be purchased to
guide the novice.
A patio of concrete, brick,
flagstone or crushed stone is
not difficult to build in many
respects, but frequently back
breaking labor is involved. A
foundation of rubble or con-
crete may be required. In any
case a footing of cinders topped
by sand and the eventual cover,
of whatever material, must be so
set as to be below any possible
damage from frost. Usually 9
or 10 inches will suffice for depth
of a paved terrace. A drainage
pitch of 3 inches in 10 feet is
recommended.
Brick is easy to lay in many
patterns and can be laid over
cinders and sand with or with
out mortar. If close to ground
level a three-inch bed of Gin
derS and two-inch blanket of
sand will be sufficient in the
Washington area. Mark off the
area of the patio. study its shape
and function. and try to imagine
it as finally completed and
decorated with adjoining plant
ings.
Flagstone set in concrete. be-
ing careful not to mar the sur
face with any faint of mortar
is a popular patio topping that
retains beauty. Great care must
be taken to insure a firm, packed
and tamped underbed of gravel
or cinders and sand before the
stones are set in their blanket
of mortar. Any space below the
surface will permit sinks and
cracks especially if there is no
roofing or porch.
Most t1agstone used for deco
rative purposes in this area is
shipped IN from north of Balti-
more and is known as Pennsyl-
vania f1agstone. 1t comes in all

plants to prevent dirt from
Isplashing onto the fruit during
spring showers.
Wait for Second Bloom
The sharp frost of April 26
and 81 is reported to have killed
the early bloom of some straw
berry paintings. This is always
a problem with the early varie-
ties, however, the Premier is able
to produce a second bloom. 1t
is for this reason that Premier is
a recommended variety in spite
Of its lack Of quality.
Camellias and Sun
Many gardeners are convinced
that the Camellia japonica should
not be planted in sunny stu
alton. But there are gardeners
in the Washington area who
grow them in full sun. Perhaps
they are able to do this through
careful feeding and watering as
we'll as keeping the plants well
mulched. The beginner will be
more certain of satisfactory re-
suits in shady situations.
Space Glad Paintings
It's time to start planting
glads. and weekly planting are
desirable for the gardener who
wants a succession of blooms for
cutting. The fancier shooting
for the shows, however, will want
to check each variety for the
number of days from planting to
bloom and then count back from
the show date to determine when
to plant.
Plant the cormS in a trench
about four inches deep. but do
not cover the corms with more
than two inches of soil. Fill in
the trench around the shoots as
they grow. If the corms were not
treated with DOT after digging,
it may pay to soak them in a
lysol solution for two hours to
destroy thrips and to check dis
ease. zone tablespoonful to the
gallon of water0
Mulch for Bushes
1t is not too early to mulch
azaless. rhododendrons. camel
las, and dogwoods. These plants
are shallow rooted and to culti-
vate would be to injure them.
Also, they like a cool root-run
and any kind of a mulch will
help. Pine needles. partially
rotted oak leaves. sawdust. buck
wheat hulls. peatmoss, ground
corncobs, etc. may be used for
this purpose. Some are less obvi-
Gus than others. and OF course
there is a difference in the cost.
The important thing is to use
one of them.
Care of Pe0nieS
AS soon AS the soil is mois-
tened by a good rain. We should
feed our roses and other garden
plants if we would have them
develop properly. Peonies are
budding and a feeding will help
them to produce larger blooms.
Cultivate the fertilizer lightly in
to the soil or wash it with the
hose.
Tip on Lawn Care
1t is not too late to fertilize the
lawn. If a non-burning fertilizer
is not used it is important that
the fertilizer be washed of of
the foliage with the hose before
it burns. There are several nom
burning fertilizers on the market
which solve this problem

Warm days of last week end at
least were warm enough to en-
courage the sowing of seeds, and
the setting out of plants. How
ever, two or three days can
hardly warm the soil sufficient
~ for setting out tomato plants
or planting cucumbers and
squash.
Plant pests have started their
spring activities and we should
be on the watch. The lockwood
leafminer can be expected to dig
out of the leaves and start mi
grating soon. Normally, this
takes place between the fifth Of
May and the first of June, prob
ably around the middle of May
this year. The Iris borer eggs
which were laid on the old
foliage or on weeds, will soon be
Matching and the borer will start
looking for a nice tender iris
plant.
The lockwood 1eafminer can be
controlled through the applica-
ton of DOT. Spraying can be
started now, or we can watch for
the emergence. On the under
sides Of the leaves there will be
"bliSterS" under which the young
worms are ready to come out.
When there is window" to a
blister the worm is out. The
sprays should be put on at the
first sign OF window. Better
still, spray when the blisters are
prominent and before the worms
start moving. Two or three
sprays will usually take care of
the moving season, space them
week or ten days apart. Use
as high pressure as you can
so as to cover the undersides of
the leaves. Lindane and Malath-
ion are also effective in controll-
ing the lockwood miner, bat DOT
seems to be the most effective.
DOT for Iris BOrer
DOT is effective in controlling
the iris borer. The eggs hatch
the first warm days of early
March or April but may not all
be Matched until the first Of
June. Spraying or busting once
week with DOT is the most
effective way of keeping them
under control.
Spray or Dust Roses
Now that the weather is
warmer we should start a spray
Ing or busting program to protect
roses from Blackspot and insect
pests. The all-purpose rose mix
lures give the desired protection.
but they must be applied regu-
larry. busting or spraying IS
simply coating the foliage with a
material that will kill the spores
or insect pests. In the spring
when growth israpid and showers
are frequent. it is necessary to
make the applications more often
than in the summer when growth
is slower and rainfall is less
frequent
Give Bulbs Time to Build
Do not remove daffodil foliage
until 1t turns brown if you
would have good bloom next
spring. This also applies to
crocus, hyacinths. and all of the
other spring Towering bulbs.
They need to build up strength
and develop buds now if they are
to give a satisfactory display
another year. If the foliage is
too unsightly you can braid and
tie to a stake for neatness.
