ing the two hundredth anniver.
sary of the birth of George
Washington, president Hoover
opened the Mount Vernon Mem.
orial Highway, linking more
closely Washington's home with
the city which bears his name
Over this scenic route pres.

Nation to the home Of its

There, in the beauty, the or

to the creation Of a Nation.

For me it is indeed q rare

background. At the present time
Mrs. Cleveland is concentrating
on late boomers" and she has
azaleas in bloom through early
July, whereas before, they were
primarily limited to a spring
bloom.
To azalea admirers she offer
ed the following tips and advice.
Mulch two times a year with
about four inches of well rotted
wood chips. These keep the
moisture in and prevent freez-
ing in the winter time. In the
hot summer they prevent the
sun from burning up the roots,
that are so close to the surface"
She also advised, ''if azaleas
turn yellow sprinkle the sur.
rounding earth with a handful
of epson salt to restore them.
Again, if the sail and plants are
healthy there will not be this
trouble, and to have them
healthy, the organic mulch is a
necessity"

rich and fertile and the mulch
will keep the weeds down.
Mrs. Cleveland told of a
'tmulching machine" that her
brother made for her from an
old push reel lawn mower. He
turned the mower upside down,
removed the handle and attach
ed and old well-pump motor.
The apparatus sits about four
feet off the ground, with a rack
behind it to hold the grasses
and hay for mulching and a bin
underneath it to catch the mulch
as it is pulverized by the mower
blades turned by the motor.
Spoiled hay makes the best
mulch you can get, and when it
is put through the machine it
makes a very fine textured
spread that I just hand dip
around my vegetables"
She advised that leaves and
grasses people often throw
away make excellent mulches
and fertilizers. I'm the fall"
she advised, mulch the leaves
on the ground with a power
mower and raking is unneces-
sary. The leaves go into the
ground and make wonderful
mulch"
Presently in their vegetable
garden the Clevelands grow car
rots, corn, tomatoes, turnips,
kale, lima and string beans,
three varieties of squash, straw
berries, blue berries. wine ber-
rieS and grapes. 1.-THE flavor
from vegetables grown in an
organic garden is entirely diff

that she never picks or pulls her
vegetables until she is ready to

Everything should go in
to the ground that comes out
of the ground" says Mrs.
Washington I. Cleveland, a
well known garden enthu-
siast in Montgomery County.
Mrs. Cleveland has been gar.
dening seriously since World
War II when she and her hus-
band started a four acre victory
garden plot at their former
home in Kensington, Md. I'VE
went to see Cy Jones, who had
farmed for years in the Olney
area and he was the one who
got us started and told us all
the 'in's and outs of gardening
My husband became enthusiast
tic about raising corn so we
specialized in that. He got so
good that Mrs. K, at the Toll
House in Silver Spring, con-
tracted for all four acres of
corn"
Mrs. K. tells the story of the
gentleman who wrote for reser-
vations for party and ordered
doubles" for everyone for the
corn-on-the-cob. During the din
ner he sent Mrs. K. a note in her
kitchen saying how delicious it
was and asking where she
bought it. She returned the note
with the information that she
bought it from Washington
Cleveland. The man wrote back
In effect that he knew Mr..
Cleveland and would 60 by after

were soon squelched when Mrs.
X. INFORMED nm personally that
he would do nothing of the sort
because she had a contract for

Florence Cleveland's enthusi-
asm for gardening continued
when the Clevelands moved
from their Kensington home to
their present home, "Piney
Thicket," Glen Rd., Potomac.
Her interest, though still re-
mains with vegetables, has
grown to include the raising of
aZalea plants. She also has de-
veloped a keen sense about or.
ganic gardening, and advocates
it highly. eff you start with
healthy soil and plants, and
mulch sufficiently, there will be

and in cooking them they are
very seldom boiled, but steam,
ed for the utmost in flavor.
The natural setting of the
Cleveland land enhances the
beauty of the azalea plants
Most of the plants are placed in
a natural setting sloping down
into an active creek bottom with
a flowing stream,
The azalea project started
shortly after the Clevelands
moved to the Potomac area. Mr.,
Frederick P. Lee, one of the of
ficials of the National Arbor
etum, came for a visit. He adj
vised the Clevelands that they
had excellent soil for raising
azaleas, and he would give them
200 slips" if they would build
a cold frame" inv hich to raise
them. Mr.. Cleveland built the
fame, a flat box that sits about
nine inches into the ground and
has a glass covering over it. The
frame is placed in the woods SO

sunlight.
Some of her plants are now
16 years old. They have grown
from the "cold frame" to the
"azalea nursery" a small sec
ton of the woods garden de
voted to woods plants, and then
are ..transplanted, when they
have matured, down by the

An organic gardener is one
who avoids all sprays, insect,
cides and chemical fertilizers.
She has been leaning toward
organic gardening for a number
of years after studying what
chemical fertilizers do to the
wildlife and bees. For her vege.
tables she mulches with a mix.
ture of barnyard fertilizers,
grass and weed cuttings, table
scraps and angle worms. This
combination is put into a large
wooden box in layers and the
angle worms do all the work
of conditioning the compost and
aerating it. She has found this
a good mulch recipe, and the
proof lies in the produce from
the vegetable garden.
THAT commercial fertilizers
kill birds and bees has been
proven numerous times. Other
wildlife is also affected by it.
The bees are most essential in
pollenating the gardens, and
when the birds are affected they
are either poisoned or become

Policy Review
BY GEORGE SHERMAN

Visiting Panamanian Presi-
dent Roberto F. CHAR went
before the Council Of the
Organization of American
States today and called for
reinterpreting the hemisphere
doctrines Of non-intervention
and self determination.
These are the two doctrines
Brazil, Mexico and other Latin
American states use to argue
against collective Intervention
in CaStro's Cuba.
President CHAR did not
mention Cuba by name, but
his meaning was clear. He said
the basic principles Of nom
intervention and self-determi-
nation had drifted toward
a new formula of eyes shut
and hands off, which were
not exactly their. original
meanings"
He said these concepts must
be reviewed so they will not

Elective measures" intended to
assure freedom and representa-
tive democracy to all peoples of
the Americas deprived of them
by force.
President Charts statement Is
considered especially signifi-
cant because of the geograph-
ical location of Panama. The
countries of the Caribbean and
Central America have been the
biggest targets of Castrolte sub
version. and they are leaders in
the campaign for some kind of
military intervention against
the Cuban dictatorship.
The Panamanian President
conferred with Secretary of
State Rusk today in advance of
another meeting with President
Kennedy on problems facing
the two nations, including
issues involving the Panama
Canal.
The two Presidents met for
two hours yesterday, with top
diplomatic advisers sitting in
on the session. Afterward, Mr..
Kennedy said the talks were
