6otonic Garden Closes
Due to Storm Damage

The Botanic Garden at the
foot Of Capitol Hill has beer
closed temporarily as a result
Of damage caused during Ties
days windStorm.
Thousands of panes Of glass
in the roofs of the nine green
houses and some in the per-
manent Conservatory Building
we're smashed by wind pressure
and broken tree limbs.
Replacement cost of the
panes and some wooden sup
ports in the greenhouses was
estimated at $500. officials of
the office of the architect Of
the Capitol said today.
Orchids Not Hurt
Fortunately. the priced or
child collections went almost
unscathed. Only a few plants
were knocked down but this
greenhouse, as well as the
others, has been closed for
at least another week until
smashed panes can be replaced.
One Of the greenhouse struc-
cures lost almost its entire roof.
The Conservatory Building
escaped serious damage but it.

Mrs. Shreve said her hus-
band. a Falls Church plumber,
came home just after the acci-
dent and was told Marjorie
tried TO mount the horse and
fell of. She was a bit dazed,
and complained that her head
hurt.
Mrs Shreve said neither she
nor her husband knew Marjorie
or the other girls, but, after
learning who they were. called
Marjorie's mother. Neighbors

Some Capitol Hill observers
told The Star the storm may
be a blessing in disguise IN that
it may hasten congressional
action in providing funds for
a permanent new location for
the greenhouses.
Funds Held Up
The Conservatory Building
is destined to stay at its present
location. near Independence
avenue and Third street. The
old greenhouses would be
moved to the nursery area at
Poplar Point on the Anacostia
River near the South Capitol
Street Bridge under a pending
proposal. A fund of $565 900
for this purpose was sought in
the past session Of Congress
but was held up pending a
study Of possibilities Of placing
them in the National Arbo-
return in Northeast Washing
ton.
Ofiicials in charge Of the
project have recommended
against that. One reason given
was that it would place the
greenhouses too far away from
Capitol Hill. Another was that
there probably would be ad-
ministrative difficulties since
the Arboretum is under the
jurisdiction of the Agriculture
Department instead of Con-
gress.

Denial SOUGHT
For Boost in
Phone Rates

BALTIMORE. Sept. S (R.--
Peoples counsel today filed a
motion with the Public Service
Commission protesting a pro-
posal by the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. to raise
rates by $6.S55.O00 on Septem-
Der Is.
Wilfred T. McQuaid asked
an alternate to outright re-
lection of the new rates. the
commission suspend the pro-
posed increase for 100 days and
start an investigation Of the
company's plan. Mr.. McQuaid
said the cumulative effect of
increases granted the Cap over
the past 10 years amounted TO
about $l08 million.
Basis for Rates
II the increase is granted de-
spite his protest, Mr.. McQuaid
said the new rates should be
much lower than those pro-
posed by the company, which
based its rate schedule on a
return of Ga per cent. Such a
return, he said. is in excess of
the maximum previously al
Owed by the commission.
He said the September / order
Of the commission directed that
rates fixed by the company
should not exceed 6 per cent.
The CAP said If Mr.. Nc
Quaid's motion is approved it
would prevent its wider range

effect and also deprive the COM
pany Of revenue needed to

How to Prepare
Blooms for Show
BY MILTON H. BROWN
President, Camellia Society Of the
Potomac Valley

There are few greater thrill:
than seeing a blue ribbon along
side one of your blooms at a
camellia show. Remember, il
takes only one bloom to be the
best-in-show and win the beau
tiful silver trophy. Also trophies
will go to the winner of the
most blues and the winner OF
the most points.
The question is frequently
asked. How and when should
Il pick blooms for a camellia
show?" You should start looking
for and picking prize blooms

Reporting Plants
Is Good Idea Now

With the beginning Of the
growing season at hand now is
the time, generally speaking, to
repot houseplants. Reporting is
necessary when the roots have
formed a thick web on the out
side of the rootball. Knock the
plant carefully from the pot to
investigate. If visible roots look
healthy and are few in number
do not repot.
A good standard potting soil
mixture consists of two parts

Gardens Offer Much
Flower and garden lovers will
find the spring tours of Vir-
Iginia inspiring and informative.
Learning to recognize plants Is
one of the principal joys Of gar
Idening. even If the gardening is
limited to planning and dream
ing Some stately old mansion
may reveal a huge laboratory of
growing things, and often 1t will
be possible to obtain the names
Iof the varieties of the paintings
as well as the broad classiflca-
ton to which they belong.
1t will be particularly benefi-
cial to inspect the gardens along
the Potomac basin in Virginia to
gain lessons in landscaping and
| plant kinds, for these things can,
Of course, be just as profltably
used in the gardens of Maryland.
Garden club groups are well
aware of this fact. with the re-
suit that large proportion of
the tourists" are neighboring
gardeners who enjoy finding out
what is growing in the next
county.
Ideas on how to remodel build
ings so as to bring the garden
behind glass or into an adjoin-
ing room can be obtained on such
tours. Nature is unfailingly faith
full and what another human be-
ing can do with plants, so can
others. That is the foundation
challenge to all gardeners. Nature
is always consistent-it is only
man who fails to follow her dem
onstrated principles.

want to have an outline from
which to start thinking" about
