used, and is splashed on the
leaves, it will spot them.
Another chore that must
also be performed frequently
to keep the African violet
healthy and vigorous is that
of dusting the foliage. This
work must be carefully done,
and the best busters to
use are a discarded leaf from
the plant or q pipe cleaner.
Leaves should be brushed
with a light stroke that

African Violet Care

Though it does come from
Africa. the African violet
isn't actually a violet at all.
But that fact hasn't stopped
hundreds of thousands of
home gardeners from making
1t their number-one choice.
Available in a wide variety
Of colors that range from
blue to white to pink, the
African violet is called Saint
paula by botanists. And
though it's relatively easy to
care for, there are certain
rules in the "care and feed
ing" Of African violets that
must be taken seriously.
All members of the African
violet family, for instance,
grow best at an evenly main
tanned temperature of about
~ degrees. They should be
potted in a soil composed Of
equal parts of garden loan,
sand, and of humus, leaf mold
or peat moss.
If an African violet Is
placed in a clay pot. put
cellophane tape or paraffin
around the rim of the pot.
Porous clay pots allow salts
to leach out of the soil they
contain. and the leaves Of
= the African violet are highly
sensitive to these salts.
East or west sunlight ex-
posures are best for the Afri-
. can violet. A northern light
is insufficient, and the hot
rays Of the southern sun
tend to burn the leaves.
Frequent waterings are a
must" for African violets,

Besonias

The tuberous-rooted be-
gonias are best started into
growth by pressing them con-
cave side up. into a box or
pot of peat moss and water
ing. Keep in q warm situa-
ton. When the new shoots
are a half inch long trans
plant into pots filled with a
soil mixture of two parts
peat, one part sand and one
part garden loan. The tubers
will eventually be covered
with at least an inch Of the
soil mixture but this should
not be done until the new
growth is two or three inches
long.-YOUNGMAN.

Cold blustery winds Of the
last week end, followed by
freezing temperatures at
night undoubtedly checked
gardening activities for
many. 1t Is Just as well not
to attempt to rush the sea-
son--the last killing frost
may not come for two or
three weeks.
The average for the Dis
trict is April 20, later in the
suburbs. However, the grass
Is thriving In the cool. moist
weather and we should not
let it get too tall before
moving.
The first spray is about
due for the fruit trees.
An all-purpose fruit spray
will do a good job without
the mess of mixing. Now is
a good time to remove the
grass and weeds from the
perennial border and to
mulch to save further weed
ing.
DoffodiI Virus
Now that the daffodils are
growing vigorously it will pay
as you go about admiring the
bloom to check for signs Of
virus disease. This disease
Is readily noted by the
streaking in the foliage. In
case of doubt remove a leaf
and hold to the light-if the
streaking is there dig and
destroy the plant before the
apids spread the disease to
other plants.

fertilizing be reduced in such
areas and the fall feeding
greatly increased. However,
it may be that the new. slow
acting, nonburning types of
nitrogen may not unduly
stimulate grass growth and
thus not increase susceptib-
ity to disease. This might well
be checked by the gardener
as the summer progresses.
Certainly these new types Of
nitrogen level out the rate
of growth and grass cutting

shoots will make strong
growth and be ready for lift
ing and dividing in the next
week or two. Both of these
flowers need to be replanted
in well prepared soil If they
are to make the best showing
next fall. However, the work
of dividing and soil prepara-
ton can well be postponed
until more press jobs are
taken care Of.
Divide Doisies
The Shasta daisies need to
be lifted and divided In the
spring. at least every other
year II they are to persist and
produce an abundance of
bloom. The job might we'll be
done every season, better
growth and bloom will fol-

Moisten Peat
Be sure to moisten peat
moss before spreading it as a
mulch. Dry peat moss will
blow away or wash away with

as received and store where

Summer Bulbs
In the rush of spring gar

is the season when they are
likely to shrivel in too dry a

which makes it a very short

to plant the Chinese redbud

was phoned by the author
who said, II hear you are

don't" To which the actor
replied: I'm not wearing an
earring. I'm wearing a ring
through my nose"
"A lot of people," contin-
ued the smiling Eli, "use tenn

believe temperament equals

a torn shirt and say I'm an

Olivier, by the way, to The

stand a word of it. But he
uses the method. What is it?
It's a technique of acting.
Deborah Kerr has her meth

asked his pupils. What did

the anguish of their income

is good when he can trans

Eli was born in a Brooklyn
slum. Il played the gangster
Anastasia on TV. He was
born on the same street I
was. What was my fathers

much that Rock blushed. It
was the first time I ever saw

Because He's Tall
That shyness is part of his
appeal and Rock has an un-
usual explanation for it:
Most tall men are shy.
We're so high up, we can't
hear everything going on-so
we have to be the silent
type"
He's eloquent, though, in
his dislike of screen love-
