New Fungicides

There are several new fun
gicides on the market besides
Phaltan that was marketed for
the first time in 1859. Cyprex
is reported to be more eff
fective than the older ones
in controlling plant diseases.
The gardeners of the WASH
ington area will want to test
new fungicides on a trial basis
until more is known about their
behavior in our gardens. Phal-
tan did not show up too we'll
in some gardens last year, per-
haps because the gardeners
we're careless in measuring out
the materials. An overdose

BY the way, Phaltan and Cy-
prex are common names not
trade names, so the clerks may
not recognize these names i'm
mediately when you ask for
them. -YOUNGMAN.

From Mrs. Edna Reber
Bor 365. Guithersburg, Md.
Will seed saved from Big Boy
tomatoes produce satisfacto-
rily? Do calabaSh gourds pro-
duce a variety Of shapes? Why
did a volunteer sunflower plant
produce only empty seeds2
AnsUer
Seeds saved from hybrid
varieties of tomatoes or other
crops cannot be depended upon
to produce similar crops. 1t is
better to buy seed or plants
each year; then you will know
what kind of fruits to expect.
Some strains of gourds pro-
duce uniform fruits, others do
not. 1t is impossible to say
without knowing the source
and variety of seed purchased.
There are a number of fac
tors which could prevent pol
lination of the sunflower. Dis
ease, If present. could; con-
tinuous rain during the pol
lination period would prevent
the fertilization of the seed,
and an early frost would have
the same effect.

PortuIoco Is CoIorfuI
In Hot, Dry Situation

However, If some covering is
desired a light sprinkling Of
sand would be best.
The portulaca is noted for
its drought resistance which is
an attribute that many over
look. That makes it an out
standing plant for the hot, dry
banks; a planting along the
southern foundation, or as an
edging along a walk. The
plants seldom grow more than
6 or 8 inches in height.
In Solid COlOrs
The portulaca is available in
solid colors, but most garden
ers prefer to buy mixtures. The
colors. largely rose, pink. Or
ange and yellow, have a waxy
texture that makes them seem
brilliant. The singles are most
often seen, but the doubles
which resemble tiny rose buds
are unsurpassed in display.
However. there will be a small
percentage Of singles in a
planting of the doubles. If one
is anxious to have only doubles,
the singles which will bloom
first. may be removed. The
plants transplant readily and
the gaps may be filled by NOV
ing the plants about.
1t is interesting to note that
the Portulaca is one of the
weeds Of the garden. AS a weed
it is usually called "pussly." A
special selection Of the portu-
laca is grown in Belgium as a
salad plant. It has small yel-
low flowers.

New Snupdrogons

Those new snspdragons, the
Rockets, should be started
soon if the plants are to be
ready to go into the garden
early in April. This new strain,
which received All America
awards for 1860, is supposed
to take more summer heat than
did the older types and strains.
Most gardeners will want to
give them a trial this summer.

Last spring he helped plant
eight selections of Norway and
red maple trees from his Ohio
tree farm in The Park, Rotter-

for the international Horticul-

For color and for season.
long bloom for the hot, dry
situation there is nothing equal
to the Portulaca, better known
as rose moss. A plant that Is
as undemanding and compara-
lively trouble free as the portu-
laca should be much more
widely used. The snowy double
lowered forms are especially
attractive.
The portulaca likes an open
or sandy soil but will thrive in
any well drained one. This can
be easily supplied by mixing
sand and compost into the top
three or four inches. 1t might
be well to add some pulverized
limestone to sweeten the soil,
although it is not necessary.
The soil should be fertilized at
the time of preparation since
the spreading habit of growth
makes feeding impractical once
the spring growth is under way.
Two or three pounds of a slow
acting. non-burning type of
fertilizer should be preferable
for this snowy ground cover.
Classed as Hardy Annual
The portulaca is clasSed as a
hardy annual which is a bit
misleading. The plants are
killed by frost, but the seeding
should be done in the late fall
or very early spring. Seemingly
it takes frost and a cool soil
to produce a good stand of
plants. Late spring or early
summer sowing usually produce
a disappointing stand.
The tiny seeds of the portu-'
laca are best scattered thinly
over the soil surface with little
or no effort to cover them. The
seeds are so small that birds
and mice seldom disturb them.

You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
Some Containers Inspire Us
BY MRS. HERBERT n. GREGER

A lovely container is often
the germinator of ideas for a
flower arranger. Over the years,
a collection Of them becomes a
proud possession of anyone
who works in this field.
Containers may be all sizes,
shapes and materials and some
are treasured, loved and often
used while some leave the shelf
only once in a while. Still,
others may become obsolete
and dusty derelicts.
The most cherished ones
have a quality by which they
easily outrank others. This
quality is in many instances
an innate beauty which was
given to them by the hand that
created them.
This is one reason why some
containers become such an i'm
portant element in flower ar
rangement. The other element
is obviously the living, cut,
plant material. However basic
these elements, nothing can
happen if you are not inspired
to combine them into a unique
satisfying experience. The hu-
man element is a very essential
one.
Slopes of the Orient
had admired a very beau
tiful bowl. Its form was based
on the old conical shapes of
India and China. The color
was a velvety dark brown and
within it had a blue grey glaze.
This within" was extraordi-
nary. The bowl is a contempo-
rary mid-20th century pottery
of great simplicity, interesting
texture and expresses harmony
by use of contrasts.

Spring Lettuce?

Very few gardeners in the
washington area even try to
grow head lettuce or caulifiower
as a spring crop. The reason,
our summers come too soon
with too high temperatures for
quality. But if you wish to try,
now is the time to start seed
indoors. The plants should be
ready to go into the garden by
mid to late March.
