and while the flowers are
larger and taller than the
preceding and much earlier
than the Darwins. there are
so many varieties that are
not useful for garden cult
walton. 1t may be that some
Of them gave this class a bad
name. However. dependable
varieties are: Blue Orchid.
Gertrude. Carlee. Her Grace.
Orange Wonder, White
Angel. Yellow. Gem. etc.
The Triumph class origi-
mated about the same time
as the Mendels but are slight
ly later Towering. The stems
are tall, 16 to 10 inches, and
the sturdy blooms are as
large or larger. Some Of the
better known varieties are:
Elmus. Denbola, Nivea. Red
Giant, Golden Show, Orchid.
etc.
Probably less widely known
than any other class are the
Late Double Class varieties
although some date back to
the 1700's. AS a rule the
stems are longer than the
Early Double Class varieties.
There is some thought that
they are less sturdy and need
more protection but others
claim them to be just as stur-
dy as the Darwins. Coxa and
Mount Tacoma are two that
have been shown at the Ia
koma Horticultural Club
shows. but there are a num-
Der Of others that may be Of
interest.
The Darwins are the best
known Of the tulip classes.
The flowers are large and
borne on tall stems-24 to 80
inches. They have lots Of
substance and can Withstand
spring weather. Perhaps one
exception should be men,
toned. some Of the cups are
so complete that they will
hold rainfall and If accom-
panied by high winds the
filled cups will snap of. The
colors range from white
through deep maroon, almost
black. Good varieties are
endless in number, here are q
few Of the better known:
City'of Haarlmen. Clara Butt.
Eclipse. Farncombe Sanders.
La Tulipe Noire. Niphetos.

Plant Those Tulip Bulbs LateI
Now Is excellent time to purchase bulbs
OF high quality; voriety Is unlimited
BY w. II. YOUNGMAN
star Garden Editor

Undoubtedly some will say
tulip planting time is past.
that they have purchased
their bulbs and planted them.
This Is a normal occurance
for those who are planting
tulips for the first time. but
experienced growers know
that the warm falls with fire.
quent showers stimulate
growth Of the early planted
bulbs which frequently ex-
tends above ground. II plant
ing is delayed until cold
weather Is iminent the tulip
bulbs will make good root
growth but will not send
their leaves above ground to
be battered by winter winds.
That is the reason for delay
ing planting until Thanks
giving or later.
The quality and quantity
Of tulip bulbs being offered
this tall is excellent and gar
deners should take advantage
of this opportunity to buy.
It pays to, buy the, largest
and latest bulbs available
since they last about three
years. W
Our soils and climate are
not conducive to maintain
ing bulb size and so we can
only expect top ality
blooms on long stems the
first year after planting. The
second year the blooms are
very good. but by the third
season they have deteriorated
to about half size.
Few gardeners care to
save them for a fourth sea-
son Of bloom. And, 1t is for
this reason that many gar
deners buy a few new bulbs
each season in order to have
some top-quality bloom,
Types and Glasses
While most gardeners de-
pend upon the Darwin class
for their varieties, 1t might
be we'll to consider some Of
the other types or classes Of
tulips commonly available.
Probably the earliest to
bloom and also the best for
forcing is the class known
as single early" They bloom
some weeks before the OAR
wins, usually before the last
Of the daffodils have faded.
The stems are much shorter
from six to eight inches,
depending upon the variety.
Because they are smaller
growers it is just as well to
plant them closer together
II a mass effect Is desired.
Gen. DeWet. Keiserskroon.
Prince Of Austria. Sunburst,
Vermillion Brilliant and
White Hawk are some Of the
better known varieties Of the
Single Early class.
The Double Early Class
contains many varieties that
are useful for forcing as well
as for bedding. They have
ABOUT the same growth
habits as the Single Early
class and flower at about the
same time. Well known vari-
cites are: Murillo, Peach
Blossom. Dante. Scarlet
Cardinal. Oranje Nassau,
Marechal Mel and Mr.. van
der Hoff.
Nearly as early are the
Mendel tulips derived from
crosses between the Due van
Tol. the earliest Of all. and
the Darwins. 1t is a class
Of comparative recent origin.

ComeIIio Collection

The camellia collection at

mally October 81. according
to an announcement by the
Camellia Society Of the Po-
tomac Valley.
Dates for viewing will be
Oct. 81 and Nov. ] and Nov.
7 and 8. 10 am. to 5 pm.
The collection is expected to
be at peak bloom.
The Arboretum's sasanqua
collection numbers more than
90 varieties, many seldom
seen.

and the newer varieties are as
tall-growing. In the early
days the Cottage Class had
the better yellow colored va
rites. Golden Harvest. Mrs.
Moon, 1nleescombe Yellow.
etc.
Another of the major
classes, the Breeders, produce
fine -stemmed flowers Of
about the same Towering
season as the Darwins.. How
ever, they carry many tones
not to be found In the other
classes. The bronze. orange
and purple tints are quite
distinctive. Probably the best
known Breeder was the IA
nous Louis XIV, but the
rter-stemmed Don Pedro
and Dillenburg were popular.
Indian Chief had probably
the longest stem.
The Lily -Flowered class is
often confused with the Cot
tage, as q matter Of fact It
stems from crosses between
the Cottage varieties and
Retroflexa and the Darwin
Psyche. Among the better
varieties are: Aladdin, Dya-
nito. Golden. Duchess, Lilac
Time. Maytime, White Tri-
umphator and Yellow Mar
vel.
The Parrot tulips are prob
ably as popular as any Of the
tulip classes. characterized
by petals that are irregularly
cut and split-deeply laci-
mated. and weak stalks, with
flowers much larger than
those Of the other types.

Chill nights and cool days
have. given quite a different
: tempo to the seasonal gar
dening activities. Not only is
the gardener concerned with
repairing the heat and
drought damage to the gar
den and lawn but prepara-
ton for fall planting is get
ting into high gear. Actually,
the number one job should
be to get the lawn fortified
and reseeded, where neces-
sary.
The fall feeding Of the
lawn was given top priority
by DR.. Felix Juska Of the
United States Department Of
Agriculture when he indi-
Gated his belief that spring
feeding contributed to the
incident OF lawn diseases.
Number 2 job is to COM
plete the fan planting Of
evergreens.
Number 3 job Is to set out
perennials so as to have the
perennial border in full gear
by spring 1860.
Root Feeders
The ground is still too dry
for good plant growth and
many of the evergreens are
in need of watering. The root
feeders make an excellent
tool for such watering. Let
the water run under low to
moderate pressure until the
ground is well saturated be-
fore moving to another To-
cation.

Root Feeders
PerennioI PIonts

It is not too late to set out
perennial plants in the bor-
der. If there are seedlings to
be transplanted. they, too.
may go into the border. Give
them adequate spacing so
that when well grown they
will not be too crowded. A
light mulch will help them
to get started by keeping the
soil from crusting.

vailing high rates although a
bit less than absolutely certain
that economic conditions could
sustain them even at 4 some
what lower level.
AS Mr.. Colean pointed out,
the steel strike has dampened
prospects that there will be

For, although q steel strike

would be a period Of easier

the second quarter, and that
this could very well drive rates
down a bit.
Insurance companies, accord
ing to G. Clarence Elliott, a
Canadian insurance company
executive, are beginning to
worry over the stratospheric
level to which interest rates

In the Washington area,

from q relatively few mort
cages at 534 per cent to the
bulk at from 6 to 6h per cent.
In Canada, Mr.. Elliott re-
ported, current rates are about

per cent for those that lending
