mixed with the soil. Apply the
fertilizer in the spring on top
of the soil and let it gradually
work down into the root zone.
After the evergreen is placed
and the hole two-thirds filled
with the prepared soil mixture,
fill the remaining space with
water and wait until it has
soaked into the soil before COM
pleting the fill.
AS a last step, make a slight
ridge around the planting hole
with the extra soil that is left
over. This helps to speed the
watering Of the newly planted
evergreen. Leave this ridge in
tact throughout the winter so
that should watering be neces-
sary 1t will speed the job.
Mulch Delays Freezing
The next step is to apply q
a deep mulch over the
planting hole. It might well ex-
tend a foot beyond. This will

compact and do not lose toe
many roots in the moving.
However. If they are not as
compact as desired a pruning at
planting time will help to rro-
duce compact growth as well as
reduce the danger of more mois-
ture loss than the roots can
overcome.
In the more exposed situations
it will probably be wise to erect
some kind of shade or shelter
to protect the newly planted
evergreens from the winter sun
and wind.
This is easily accomplished by
driving three stakes on the south
side. Nail burlap to them be-
fore freezing weather. 1t will

but the sun and wind, that must
be guarded against. Wrapping
Evening star., 1956-08-26

keep the soil from freezing so
that root action will take place
as late as possible into the
winter. Perhaps a light mulch
now will be adequate but before
the temperatures drop too low
add a generous depth of leaves
or other material which will keep
the cold out and the soil warmth
in.
It is seldom that the newly
planted evergreens are pruned
when set out. However, If estab-
lished evergreens are being moved
it will pay to give them a good
pruning to offset the loss Of
roots.
Hemlocks that are being set
out as q hedge might well be
cut back rather severely to slim

Are You Going to Plant
Those Everqreens This Fall?
BY W. H. YoUNoMAN

1.-THE holes are prepared with care.
and that a generous supply of
peatmoss or compost is mixed
into the soil that is to be useo to
fill the space between the root
ball" and the perimeter of the
hole.
Sometimes in spring planting
the rush is so great that this
little detail is skipped. or
skimped. 1t is hardly safe to
skimp on this detail in the fall
planting. There should be an
adequate supply Of moisture In
the soil surrounding the newly
planted evergreen. Peatmoss is
an excellent sponge for holding
the moisture.
1t is not being extravagant to
use up to so per cent by volume
of peatmoss to mix with the soil
in the planting hole.
The Settling Problem
Many gardeners do not dig
the holes any deeper than is
necessary for the root-ball be-
cause Of the danger Of settling.
1t is true that the evergreens
should be no deeper in the soil
when settling is ended than they
grew in the nursery. The one
exception is the hemlocks which
might well be slightly below
ground level so that moisture
will drain into the root area.
(Of course, they will not grow in
soil that stays soggy and wet for
any appreciable length of time.
But to return to this problem
of working peatmoss or compost
into the soil that will be below
the root-ball. 1t is a desirable
practice because the roots should
penetrate deeply into the soil
and this loosening of the soil
and adding humus will speed
that deep roofing. The only
problem is how much to allow
for settling and that will depend
upon how deeply the soil was
prepared and the weight Of the
root ball. Allow at least a couple
of inches, and for large root
balls about 3 inches.
Easy on Buried Fertilizer
Avoid adding fertilizer to the
mixture of soil humus. There is
danger of getting too much or
of not getting it thoroughly

the plants showed a need for a
good soaking in less than a
weeks time.
Nip Those Weeds Now
Many of the common garden
weeds are going to seed and it
is important that they be re-
moved before this happens. A
single weed, even though small,
will often scatter thousands of
seeds. If we want to reduce the
weed crop of another season. it
is a must to pull and destroy
them before the seeds mature.
Evergreen Planting
This is the time Of the year
when we begin to set out or move
the evergreens, but until there is
"a good soaking rain this job
should wait. OF course, If there
is an urgent need to plant now
the soil can be thoroughly soaked
and the job done. However. it
will be well to provide a light
shade to cut down on evapora-
tion. The soil will need to be
kept moist until the plants have

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

The last week in August is the
time to spray the peach, cherry.
plum and other stone-fruit trees
for the control of the peach tree
borer. the most common cause
Of loss of these trees.
1t takes three sprayings with
DDT to control the borer. Space
them about two weeks apart.
Apply a 5 or 10 per cent solu-
ton to the lower part of the
trunk. The moth lays her eggs
on the trunk and when the larvae
hatch they crawl downwards to
the soil line where they bore into
the trunk, thus the lower foot
or so of the trunk should be
thoroughly coated.
Setting Out the Seedlings
The seedlings of the perennials
and biennials should be large
enough now for setting out in
flats or boxes. Space them at
least two inches apart in a WELL
prepared soil mixture composed
of equal parts of garden loan,
sand. and humuS (peatmoss if
you do not have compost. Shade
the seedlings for a few days
after transplanting so that they
will not wilt under the hot sun.
A dilute tranSplanting solution
will help to overcome the shock
of transplanting.
For Early Summer Bloom
The time fof the planting
of Madonna lily bulbs and the
dormant roots of oriental pop
pies is about at an end. These
snowy early summer bloomers
make a pleasing and colorful
display in the garden. Both of
them make top growth in the fail,
so early planting is highly desir-
able. If mulched. and they do
benefit by a liberal mulch. it is
Evening star., 1956-08-26

Most kinds Of evergreens, both
the broadleaved and the conf
fers, can be planted in the fall
in the Washington area. The
planting should be done early
enough so that the newly planted
shrubs or trees will have ample
time to become we'll established
before cold weather stops root
action. And, the job ought to
be done early-before the new
growth starts, and it usually
does in this area about the
middle of September.
The fall planting of ever
greens is another of the jobs
that can be done this fall and
reduce the pressure of the
garden work next spring.
The fall planting Of most kinds
Of evergreens is no different
from that Of spring planting
except there are a few kinds
that are best left for spring
planting.
Some Exceptions
The American holly is one
that, except in the most pro-
tected situations where it is fully
shielded from winter winds, that
might better be planted in the
spring. The same applies to the
Southern magnolia, in fact to
all magnolias, because they have
thick spongy roots which heal
best when they are in active
growth.
The American hemlock might
well be left until spring because
winter winds are apt to take
more moisture from the needles
than the roots can supply.
Without adequate moisture the
needles fall and that's the end
of the hemlock, that is, unless
they are in a very well protected
situation.
Prepare the Holes
We stated that the fall plant
ing was no different than spring
planting. but that assumes that

foliage.
Moisture Fades Fast
1t is surprising how quickly
the flowers show need for mois-
ture when the sun boils down as
it did last week end. One good
soaking ordinarily keeps the
plants in good condition for a
week or more. but the subsoil
moisture must be low because

Navy to Use
DecuturHouse

The Navy plans to use Decatur
House on Lafayette Square near
the White House as a place for
official entertainment in con-
formance with the will of Mrs.
Truxtun Beale.
Mrs. Beale willed Decatur
House to the National Founda-
ton for the Preservation of His
torical Objects, which in turn
was told to offer it to the Navy
for official entertainment pur-
poses
The will further provided that
II the Navy did not accept within
a two-year period, the house was
to be offered to the State De-
partment. which also was to have
two years in which to decide
whether to take it over. II
neither department accepted it,
the house was to be maintained
as historical shrine.
The Navy said today that
UnderSecretary Thomas S.
Gates, jr., had told the founda-
ton the Navy intended to use
the mansion and would forward
a formal acceptance after var
ious routine arrangements had

Eight to Be Fired in October
Although the program does not
begin until next summer, eight
rockets will be fired at Churchill
during October and November to
provide experience for personnel
and to check facilities.
The experiments are expected
to shed light on such problems
as the effect Of cosmic radiation,

the polar regions affect weather
over their respective hemispheres.
Solving these problems is i'm

which ordinarily would have
been placed in the rejected craft
have instead gone into the new
planes while the manufacturer
Of the parts caught up with the
demand.
Thus, September likely will see
a slightly smaller number of
accepted B-52s as all those for
merly rejected planes are re-
paired and only new production
comes off the line. The Air
Force has announced two heavy
bomb wings have been equipped
with B-52s. Another outfit now
is in process of moving from
Fairchild Air Force Base, Spo-
kane, Wash, to Westover Base,
Mass, and converting from
B-36S to the all-jet B-52s.
Production Rate Increasing
The B-52s were grounded tenn
porarily after a fatal crash until
the cause was traced to faulty
electrical equipment with which
some of the planes were equipped.
The latter have been kept out of
operation while the equipment
was being replaced.
Meanwhile. the production
rate of the more than 65O-miles-
per-hour bomber, has been
steadily increasing at Wichita
and Seattle. In January. four
planes were built. In April five
were manufactured, but none
because of the faulty
equipment. The schedule calls
for the monthly rate to reach 20
in little over year from now.
The B-52 has a range of over
5000 miles. weight $4,000
pounds. has a bomb capacity of
more than 10000 pounds and
carries a crew of six.

LOCK UP STARS TO KEEP THEM SAFE

Incarceration of film stars while making a picture is the somewhat surprising idea ad- vocated by Jean Simmons, cur rently starring in the Cinema Scope Technicolor production, "The Robe," which will be shown at The Theater on Christmas Day and on Dec. 26 and 27.
 Actors should live on the lot and not go charging around in traffic to and from work" she ayers. "If they got hurt or killed, millions of dollars would be lost in re-shooting their pictures.
 "Egotistical as it may sound, an actor is worth many times his weight in gold after he has be- come irreplaceably established in picture. Take The Robe" ]" for instance. Twentieth Century Fox spent $5,000,O00 on it. Two weeks before completion, over $4,000,000 had already been spent. If, at that point, Richard Burton, Victor Mature, or myself had to be eliminated from the picture the cost would have been staggering.
 Banks don't send millions of dollars around town unguarded. Actors should either live on the lot or be given escorts or body guards"
 The suggestion drew immedi- ate fire from one of Miss Sim mons Robe" co-stars and other players on adjoining Twentieth ~entury-Fox sets who heard about her statement. Mature took heated exception. He called the proposal slavery" Pm a slave
