His latest role in Govern
ment-Serving as a seed spe.
cialist for the United States
started during World War II.
Since that time he's travelled in
so countries, promoting the use
i of American seeds in foreign
lands.
Twenty years ago Bill Young
man was asked TO come to The
Star and give his views on
what ought to appear 10 a
once-a-week garden page. He
ended up by writing it himself,
and he's been at it ever since.
During his years as a guide
to gardeners Mr.. Youngman
has discovered one major fact:
Never tell a Washington area
gardener he can't grow some
thing"
For instance, he recalls the
victory garden" days of World
War II. Visiting a site shell
tered by large shade trees, Mr..
Youngman told several pros
|pective vegetable growers they
wouldn't produce much Of any,
thing.
Several months later he was
invited back-to view thriving
plot of ground covered with
healthy crops.
Advice Taken Literally
Mr.. Youngman has found
that embryo gardeners some
times take his advice too lit
orally. He once told a group of
women victory gardeners they
should dust the leaves of their
bean plants to provide bug
protection.
A return visit revealed they'd
been applying powdered insecti-
eide on each individual leafs,
using powder puffs.
y His own garden attestS to the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-09-27

from 800 to 400 rose bushes and
plants ranging from rare hol-
lies to spring bulbs and oriental
poppies.
Mr.. Youngman has brought
back some interesting plants
from his overseas trips, and
nurserymen often send him
plants to test in Washington's
climate.
Now that he's retiring" Mr..
Youngman is looking forward
to expanding his lecturing to
garden groups. already an ex-
tensive pastime with talks to
40 or SO garden clubs and civic
groups every year.

fact that he's q practicing
green thumb. not just a book
horticultural.
Between his trips ocerseas
(he's been spending from three
to six months a year out Of the
country recently and his writ
ing and lecturing on gardening,
he's found time somehow to
cultivate an acre and a half Of
ground at his home in Silver
Spring.
"You write about plants bet
ter when you've tried them out
yourself" he believes.
Until he recently sold an acre
Of his land, Mr.. Youngman had

Nationally recognized as one
of the top writers on home
gardening. Mr.. Youngman is an
all-around green thumb"
Next month the Potomac
Rose Society is dedicating its
23d Annual Rose Show in the
Natural History Building Of the
Smithsonian Institution to Mr..
Youngman and his wife. Ever
since the first edition of THE
Star Garden Book" came out
in 1850 she has been co-author
of this areas only strictly local
gardening guide.
Born in Illinois
Mr.. Youngman, born on a
farm near Bloomington, Ill,
has been close to growing
things ever since.
One major detour from his
astronomical course came in
World War I when-as horse
artilleryman in the famed
Rainbow Division - he went
through most of the major ac-
tons seen by the troops under
the command of Brig. Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. A gas at
tack two days before the Armi-
stice put Mr.. Youngman tenn
porarily out of commission, but
he was back with his outfit
within three months.
After the war, Mr.. Young
man returned to college and
was graduated from the Uni
versity of Illinois in 1921 with
q bachelor of science degree.
From there he went to Ames,
Iowa, working in q State agri-
cultural experiment station and
writing his masters thesis.
For two years he taught
agricultural economics at Texas
AIM College. Then he began
his Government career as a
junior economist in farm man

Now is the time to plant
bulbs that will brighten your
garden next spring. BY care
full selection, you can be as
sured Of a long period of con-
tinuous bloom.
In the design Of a garden
devoted to bulbs in variety,
as with any kind Of garden.
you must first consider the
heights to which individual
plants will grow. as well as
their colors and dates Of
bloom. Also important TO
keep in mind is the nature
of the foliage each kind Of
bulb produces and how long
1t lasts.
While the leaves of cro-
cuses, grape hyacinths and
other low-growing bulbs pose
no problem in this respect.
those Of taller one do. The
leaves of daffodileS and tulips
are unsightly after the
blooming period. But. as with
all bulbs, they should not be
cut down until after they
have matured and turned
brown.
A method often used to
good advantage in hiding this
unattractive foliage is to SOW,
on the surface between the
bulbs, the seeds of such an
nuals as California peoples.
annual larkspur. lobelia and
candytuft. Seeds sown early
in the spring will grow UNI
obtrusively among the bulbs,
reaching sufficient stature to
do a good masking job when
the leaves begin to look
scraggly.
The sequence Of bloom in
one garden Of this type is as
follows: February - snow
drop; March-crocus, glory
of the snow: April - grape
hyacinth. trumpet daffodil,
emperor tulip; May - poets
