Fertilizers Needed
Whether or not q mulch is
used the lilacs should be fer
tilized two or three times a year
to stimulate strong growth and
flower bud formation.
Many use the same fertilizer
for their hlacs that they use on
the lawn, others prefer one that
is low in nitrogen and high in
phosphate and potash. Most,
however, use the ordinary
5-10-5 mixture and do not even
take care to apply it only when
the soil is moist. This practice
could cause some injury to the
roots II the soil were dry at
time Of application. Fertilizer
should only be applied to q
moist soil.
The removal of suckers
mentioned above, and the
occasional cutting out Of old,
bare-legged stems is the major
pruning needed to keep the
lilacs in good condition and
attractively shaped. However,
those wishing to obtain the
finest floral display also remove
the spent blooms so that none
of the plants vitality win 60
into seed formation.
Varieties Of LiIacs
The lilacs most commonly
grown In this area are referred
to as the Common lilac, Syringa
vulgaris, which may be some
what tardy In blooming. How
ever. If given the culture sug-
gested above they viii bloom
almost as early as win the
so-called French hybrids. The
common lilac is available in
several colors but most look to
the French hybrids for the
double flowers and the great
range in colors available. How
ever. most nurseries find little
demand for more than q few
of the cheaper ones, and hence
those wanting other varieties
will need to order them from
firms specializing in lilacs.
In addition to the varieties
Just mentioned there are a
number Of species Of interest.
The Chinese lilac IS. Chinensis)
is q globular shaped bush with
many, many small clusters Of
bloom. Then there are the Late
Lilac Is. villosa) and the Hun
garian Lilac Is. josikaea) that
are useful in extending the
Towering season. And, there is
a tree lilac Is. japonica) and it
has been grown In this area
probably there are specimens Of
lit in some older gardens.
Easy to Spot BOrer
Lilacs are not immune to
insects or diseases but none are
difficult to control. The borer

The annual display Of lilacs
In the Washington area Is
always appreciated by those
from the north and from the
midwest where these depend
able spring bloomers fin the
gardens with bloom and the
air with q delicate perfume
Undoubtedly there are thoss
who do not think that the
Washington area is suitable tc
their culture, but they should
visit some Of the fine displays
which are to be seen through
out the. area.
LilacS do not thrive in acid
soils and this may explain why
some have difficulty in growing
them, but that is easily cor
rected. Some gardeners reserve
the wood ashes from the fire
place for the lilacs. Undoubted-
ly both the lime and the potash
in the wood ashes are bene-
ficial, but pulverized limestone
viii serve the purpose almost
as well.
LiIacs are shaAowed-rooted
plants and cannot successfully
compete for long with maple
and elm roots. Also they are
sun lovers and seldom do well
in q shady situation. If they
manage to grow in the shade
the bushes are likely to be un-
gainly. When such q situation
develops they should be dug in
the fall and moved to a SUMMER
location.

THE ROSE
GARDEN
STAYS

There is still a rosey fu-
ture for the New Frontier.
Pierre Salinger, press sec
rotary to the President has
said that the Rose Garden
at the White House will
remain just that.
In an earlier announce
man, the word was that
the famed outdoor cere-
monial spot at the White
House was a thing of the
past. Park Service trucks
had moved into the White
House grounds and there
were alterations underway.
Then the word came
from Mr.. Salinger that the
rose garden as such, just
outside the Presidents Of
flee, was to be replaced
by a poisoning array Of
perennials, season by sea-
son.
Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Salinger at his press brief
ing offered these encour-
aging words, THE rose
garden is going to remain
the rose garden-there are
still going to be roses in

be some perennials added,

The roses we're taken out
but some will be replanted.
Another addition will be a

the area-still the Rose

why the television show
"GunSmoke" is 1.-THE most

the District League of Re-
publican Women was told
yesterday.
The man "who now must
do the dishes and change the

night because watching Matt

"He hears Marshall Dillon

continued.
Then out comes Miss
Kitty, and gives him a drink
of whisky, which he never

ever have to marry her"
This, said the Rev. Marley,

First Lady Rides Her New Horse
BY EUGENE LEVIN
Associated Press Staff Writer

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan,
Mar. 23.-Mrs. Kennedy tried
out her new Pakistani horse
today and then received in
this capital city the biggest
welcome it has ever given a
foreign visitor.
Almost everyone in Rawal-
pindi, population 100000,
turned out to greet Americas
First Lady.
Crowds damned the streets
waving thousands of paper
flags and placards saying
Long Live Mrs. Kennedy"
Drum and bagpipe bands
serenaded her at various
points along the Smile, flag
covered route from airport to
city.
Real Welcome
1t was a thrilling welcome
like Mrs. Kennedy has re-
ceived in other Indian and
Pakistani cities since arriv-
ing on the subcontinent IL
days ago.
But this morning the 80
year-old First Lady had the
experience of riding Sarda,
the bay gelding given her yes
terday in Lahore by President
Mohammed Ayub Khan.
She rode the horse for 10
minutes on the lawn of the
Governors House in Lahore
before taking President
Ayub's personal turboprop
plane to Rawalpindi.
"Oh he's lovely" she said
excitedly after the ride.
mo one is going to be
allowed to ride him but me-"
Mrs. Kennedy tried the
horse about the time she was
due in Rawalpindi. But her
arrival time was put off 3
hours so she could catch up
on her sleep.
Side Trip Cancelled
Her original schedule called
for a visit to Taxila, one of
the worlds great Archaeology
ical sites with ruins of 2,400-
year-old cities. But two days
ago a White House spokes-
man said the trip to Taxila
was Cancelled because Mrs.
Kennedy was travel weary
and unable to make the 40
mile round trip between
Taxila and Rawalpindi.
The cancellation of Taxila
left only one major public
function on her program
here: An appearance this
afternoon at the garden
party being given by Presi-
dent Ayub to mark Pakistan
Day. the country's Fourth of
July.
