The heavy rains combined
with temperatures on the warm
side and cool nights have Gre
ated favorable conditions fol-
mildew on our garden plants
Reports indicate that some
have it. The old control, sui
phur dust or spray, is still good
but cannot be used when tenn
peratures are above IS degrees
Those using mixtures contain
ing Phaltan will probably find
that it is effective. However
the writer's experience last sea-
son indicated that Acti-Dione
PM. was the most effective.
Occasionally one has to take
drastic steps and that is posi-
BILE in controlling mildew on
plants. A hard hosing that
knocks the surface coating off
OF the leaves followed by a dust
or spray Of any one of the
common fungicides, such as
Fermate and Captain, will usu-
ally stop the damage.

DuffodiIs

September is the preferred
month in which to plant DAFT
fodils. If you have any choice
in the matter it is suggested
you ask for September deliv-
cry. And speaking of daffodilS
remember that that is the COM
mon name for all members of
the NarcisSuS family. Jonquils
are only a small segment. Most
people order the trumpet daft
fodilS but there are many other
types as attractive. Many are
interested in the miniatures of
which there is a growing list
of varieties from which to
choose. If you have any daft
fodils that need digging and
replanting it should be done in
August. By early September the
bulbs will have put out roots
so that. to move them at such
a late date will give them a
bit of setback.-YOUNGMAN.

Lawns

Lawn repair and lawn max
ing are only a few days away
late AuguSt-early September
and it is important to get the
soil ready for seed-sowing
whenever the soil is workable.
Have a soil test made if posi-
BILE to determine the quantity
OF pulverized limestone and
fertilizer that will be needed.
Add as much compost, peat
moss, sawduSt or other humus
materials as possible to put the
soil in the best condition. If
one or more of these materials
can be roto- titled into the top
3 to 6 inches the lawn can be
expected to give much better
results than one lacking in
these materials.
The purchase of grass seed
is too often based upon the
picture or the fancy name
given to the mixture. Read the
label and see what the package
contains. 1t should contain a
high proportion Of Kentucky
bluegrass, red fescue and for
shade, ChewingS fescue. These
are the fine-leaved grasses that
produce lawn that looks like
the picture on the package.
RyegraSS, perennial on annual,
timothy, meadow fescue, tall
fescue, redtop, etc, are not rec
commended for lawns in the
Washington area-they are
either too shortlived to be of
value or are too coarse. The
exception to this is the tall
fescue which makes a good
tough turf for the play areas
and places where a fine-teX-
tured lawn is not needed. White
clover is planted only in the
spring and should be accom-
panied by a light application
Of superphosphate.
The grass seeding rate
should be one pound per thou
sand square feet unless the
mixture contains much fescue
then it should be two pounds.
In planting grass seed re-
member three things-grass
seed needs q firm seed bed;
bluegrass seed should be
pressed into the ground, not
covered, and a thin stand pro-
duceS the strongest turf in the
lona-run (two years.. -
New crop bluegrass seed
takes up to % days to sprout,
hence the soil should be
mulched with clean straw Zone
bale per 1000 So. ft) and the
soil surface should be kept
moist during this entire period.
Old crop seed may sprout in 10
days. Fescue seed terminates
quickly-3 to 5 days.

100 Years Old

Although plants have beer
grown for sale since the be-
ginning of history, the com.

Undoubtedly some of last

was blamed on the cold when
it probably was due to the ac-
emulation of dead leaves
which held the moisture to the
bark. In a few cases this dead

Poppies

The dormant roots Of orien-

bulbs should go into the
ground as soon as they are
obtainable. Both of these

The Madonna lily, however,
should not be planted more
than two inches deep (dirt over
the bulbs) and so may be
planted in a raised bed if the
drainage is poor.
