From Capitol Hill to the

and she'll tell you the chief
reason she likes her job is
her boss.
Up on Capitol Hill the girls
were particularly vocal about
the boss merits.

longtime secretary to House
Speaker Sam Rayburn.
MY boss, as a boss, is ter
rife. He understands that we
have feelings, and are hui
man beings, not machines"
says Vivian De Witt, who
works for Representative Sid
Simpson of Illinois.
THE thing like best about
my job is my boss. He is very
considerate. He's interesting
to work for. and he's very
well liked and admired on
the HILL" says Mrs. Helen
Norelli, secretary to Repre-
sentative Richard Boiling Of
Missouri.
Over at the White House,
Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty's right-hand girl,
Mary Caffrey. also had warm
praise for her boss. Jim is
perfect. He couldn't be better

Miss Caffrey also was en-

that you never would have

This opportunity to be close

as a big plus for their jobs.

The widely planted globe ar

dwarf form and in the taller
growing and more commonly
planted variety. It is q dome
shaped plant that must be
given an annual shearing tc

good cultural practice dictates
that it be securely tied with
heavy cord to prevent spreading

SHOWS. This care should also
be given to the smaller or dwarf
globe.
The Pyramidal Form
The next most commonly
planted form is that referred
to as the pyramidal, which may
be any one Of several varieties
or subspecies. The usual species
Of pyramidal will grow to. q
considerable height unless reg
ularly pruned. It has a rather
light shade Of green that be-
comes yellowish during the
winter. The Siberian, Ware, or
Vervaeneana, is q lower grow
ing, darker green pyramidal ar
borvitae. Some consider this
the most desirable of the pyra-
midal forms, but 1t seems to be
just a bit more difficult to
transplant unless properly
root-pruned in the nursery and
then carefully balled and bur-
Tapped.
The familiar columnar ar
borvitae is one of the best of
the really cylindrical forms of
evergreenS. This is a particu-
larly desirable form for those
who wish a moderate-heig
narrow hedge. OF course, like
all arborvitaes, it should be
sheared regularly to keep II
compact. Also. the gardener
should prevent secondary
trunks from developing since
they are likely to split under
the weight of a heavy snow.
Spirals Attractive
Still another has its forliage
arranged in a somewhat spiral
form. This in a pyramid makes
an attractive evergreen. Then
there is a dwarf form with q

that In 1857 South Dakota and
Iowa were the leaders In the
production Of Kentucky blue

and Kentucky itself fourth
This represents just another
step in the migration Of Ken

going on for centuries. DR.. Rob-

Better Lawn and Turf Institute
points out that Kentucky blue
grass is native of Northern
Europe and the cooler parts Of
Asia. It was known to the
Greeks in the time of Socrates
Here in America, Kentucky
bluegrass first made its appear

Some Annals Can Tolerate
Cold Soil but Not Many

You hear conflicting garden
ing advice on when to plant
flower seeds, some experts tell
ing you to take 1t easy and
wait until the ground is thor
oughly warm. Others urge you
to get busy right away. Both
bits Of advice are right enough,
but they have to be qualified by
a list Of what seeds to plant
when. Here is such q list.
Following are annual flowers
with seeds and plants which
not only resist the diseases fire.
Quent in cold, wet soil but. ac-
tually can stand a little frost
even after they are up and
growing: Alyssum. candytuft

though Kentucky bluegrass and
several others come pretty close

selecting a blend of seed that

This permits one type to take

Still another caution is that

~ the Associated Press

Seven new strawberry varie-
ties have been tested and are
recommended for Virginia con-
ditions.
DR.. q. d. Oberle, VPI horti-
culturist, reports the new va
rieties have the advantage Of
being resistant to the several
virus diseases that have plagued
strawberry producers in past
years.
The recommended varieties
are: Earlidawn. Dixieland. EN-
pire. Catskill, Pocahontas,
Sparkle and Tennessee Beauty.
Earlidawn and Dixieland are
early-maturing plants. Catskill
and Pocahontas mature at mid
season while Sparkle and Ten
nessee Beauty are late-matur-
ing berries.
Sparkle is considered the
best for home-freezing pur-
poses. This type is tart and has
a high acid content. Low-acid
berries tend to develop an Oh
flavor and lose the fresh ap.
lpearance in freezing.
The best soil types for straw.

5000 quarts an acre."
The best time to set out new
plants is around the middle Of
April.
There are two methods Of
weed control that are conSid-
cred effective. One is the use
Iof sawdust mulches, the other
is the use Of chemicals.

Kinds. of annual flowers not
mentioned in either of the
above lists are for the most
part members of the in-be-
tween group that is not excess
sively hardy or particularly
tender.
The main test to determine
the earliest time to plant is to
determine the earliest time
your garden soil can be worked
up into a seed bed. BY turning
over a forkful when you think
things look pretty good you
can tell whether the soil breaks
up easily or not, and by max
ing a ball in your hand you
can see whether it crumbles
readily or If it signals that II
is still too wet by remaining
in a mud ball. AS soon as you
can make the seed bed you
can plant those hardest flower
seeds,
