40 Pinks to Add
Color to Your
Day Lilies
BY HAROLD H. KIRK
National Capitol Day Lily Club

The improvement in the in
tensity Of the pink day lilies
over the past few years has
been marked. We now have
real hot pinks and soft flesh
colored pinks and rose pinks.
Here is a good list of the hot
or rose pinks:
Pink Satin. Invitation. Filtration
Pink. Trousseau, Enchanted Pink. Al
ways Win, June Rhapsody Lady Inara.
Pink Reflection, Marianne RUSSELL
Lyric, Evelyn CLAIR. Pink Dream, Pink
Damask, Pink Prelude, Picture, Daaf9'
PINK Bowknot. Magic Dawn, Tootie,
Pink Imperial and Lucky Strike.
1t is near impossible to de-
fine what really constitutes a
pink color; there are many
variations and shades, so 1t is
unwise to be too critical of a
list of pinks. Here now fol-
lows a list of the soft shades
and melon pinks:
Frances Fay. Louise Russell. Satin
Glass, Dorcas, Multnomah, Suzanne
Simon. Powder Puff, Drama Girl,
Luxury Lace, Geo. CUNNINGHAM, Plan:
tation Peach, Jean Hamilton. Imperial
Blush, Nina RebmRn Delectable. Show
Girl. Ruth Lehman and Cadence.
Many more might be added
to the above lists for there are
literally hundreds of new in
Productions yearly. It is Ie-
ported that there are over 1000
named day lilies which have
been introduced during the past
so years.

Since the white flowers which
are about a half inch in length
are filled with filmy pink sta
mems that protrude, the spikes
have a dainty, almost feathery
appearance.
The foliage of the bottlebrush
buckeye closely resembles that
of the buckeye tree, but is
smaller, and has the same rich
dark green color. In restricted
areas it may be a bit coarse
The shrubs, as indicated, pro-
duce many stems from the
crown and, in pruning, it may
be that some will need to be
removed to maintain a sym
metrical appearing shrub.
The bottlebrush buckeye
thriveS best in a not-too-acid
moist and rich soil.
This shrub does not seem to
be troubled by insects or dis
eases, but that may be due to
the fact that they are not wide
lily planted in this area. They
may be propagated from cut
tings, both stem and root, and
from seed. They are not free
seeders, an advantage to the
home gardener who detestS
having to rake up the fruit
under a buckeye tree.

An interesting summer
Towering shrub that is now at
tracing much attention from
passersby on the Sixteenth
street side of Walter Reed Hos
pital is sometimes called the
bottlebrush buckeye. A close
relative to the horse chestnut, a
moderate = sized tree better
known for its nutlike fruits
than the bloom, the bottlebrush
is a moderate-siz shrub. How
ever, it too has nutlike fruits
but they seldom litter the lawn
as badly as does the tree.
The bottlebrush buckeye
seems to be quite tolerant to
sun and shade but grows more
compactly in a sunny situation.
They are not as widely grown
as they might be because many
WaShingtonians seem to con-
centrate on the spring flower
ing shrubs and overlook some
that carry the floral parade
into the summer. The bottle
brush buckeye, AesculuS parvi-
flora, grows to about 8 feet in
height, although in less favor
able growing conditions may
not exceed 6 feet. 1t is a spread
er and the clumps often exceed
the height in width.

Carnations

Carnation plants should be
pinched several times in order
to stimulate branching. The
tips can be rooted in sand to
produce new plants put them
in a lightly shaded situation
and keep moderately moist. Do
not use peatmosS in the propa-
eating bed since it increases the

English walnut tree about three
years old is making little if
any growth in an azalea border

shows no sign of new growth.
Where is a reliable source of
bamboo? The pomegranate now
about five years old has not
bloomed, would superphosphate
help? A Golden muScat grape
is making strong vegetative
growth but no grapes? Answer
Suggest moving the walnut
since there seems to be some
thing toxic in the roots that

branch deviseS just a little diff
ferent curve. a twist or turn
and then goes spreading luxuri-
ously in the soft air.
A square iron bucket felt
heavy enough to be a good con-
tainer. Its substance allowed
me to use full length my gift
from the wind. The holder deep
down on the bottom gives good
anchorage and stability. I took
care to bring out the swinging,
spreading pattern and the need
for air and space and light to
give a rather natural feeling.
Many were the leaves which
fell before the shippers, and if
you try to use fruited branches,
this is the most important step
in the arranging. After all, you
want to show what appears
interesting and beautiful to you.
therefore, I highlighted the
little pears.
For flowers ! chose the dainty
umbelS of Queen Anne's lace.
This flower, the wild carrot of
our countryside, is abundant
throughout the summertime
and it looked right at home
with the pear branches. Lilies,
daylilies. hollyhockS and phlox
were also considered, and each
would make a beautiful ar
rangement. But in their snowy
exuberance they would attract
too much attention and so de-
mote the pears to a position of
background material.
The other day someone asked
where I get all my ideas for
flower arranging. Well, today
can literally say that I pick
them up off the ground.

Answer - Pears should be
picked when the fruit begins
to show a tiny bit of following
beneath the green. Avoid bruis-
ing and lay them away in a
cool dark situation to mellow
for a few days, usually five
to 10. The pears should be
pruned in the early spring
MARCH and at that time,
when the weather permits, they
should be given a dormant
strength lime-sulphur spray.
Feeding is usually limited to
early March although some

that it stimulates fruit bud
formation.
