BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
Just q BusketfuI
Of Fresh Flowers
= BY MRS. HERBERT n. GREGER

To-day I am in a dilemma
lam not sure whether 1 should
tell on me or whether should
Just gracefully slide over the
fact that I am ignorant of some
OF the plant material in the
little basket. Ignorance is un-
pardonable when it concerns
the very tools with which you
work, and I would not like to
confess to an inability of ac-
Quiring competence. There are
books and there are people,
both expert in teaching one.
The moment I picked the
fresh looking simple white
flowers on their slender stems,
I felt that now, alas, I must
get busy and at long last learn
their name. The little airy
shrub is my heel of Achilles.
Years ago, when I started my
garden, a fine horticulturist
gave me some little bushes as
filters. 1T has white blossoms,
black fruit and can be neglected.
The name?-Oh, at the mo-
nlent I cannot recall it."
My little bushes grew into
handsome, If straggly occupants
Of my garden, and they make
me feel very good. People get
cocky. especially when they
have just learned a little of
something they did not know
before. Then they begin to reek
with important information
and spread it like pollen in the
air. 1t is not healthy at all,
it upsets others. I feel that
I am limping when I pass my
bushes, not strutting with a

When you see the graceful
tulips. daffodils. hyacinths anc
other spring bulb plants pro-
viding early color to the land
scape, do you ever wonder
about their origin?
This spring there are an es-
timated one million such fow-
ers in bloom at the 125-acre
Sterling Forest Gardens al
Tusedo. N. Y, only an hour
away from Manhattan's sky
'scrapers. And among the splen-
dor are IL rare tulips supplied
by hybridist Hildebrand Van
Eeden. Repeatedly there are
none like these IL anywhere
else In the country.
Who could tell US about de-
veloping tulip bulbs better than
Van Eeden?
It takes an average Of seven
years from the cross (pollina-
tion) to develop q new tulip.
A cross made in early May
will produce seed by the end
of the month. And the seed is
kept until fall for planting.
The next year the bulb is
tiny. Left In the ground for
six-seven-eight years, it will de-
velop and produce its first
flower. The plant is allowed to
bloom for three years before
final judging may be completed.
The II new bulbs in the
Sterling collection are Is to II
years old (since the original
crosS).
Such bulbs have Oriental
blood. In their breeding, the
Dutch first increased the size
of the flowers and then brought
the Oriental blood back into
the varieties.
The Greigii type (red) came
from Bokhara, the Russian part
of the Dardenelles near the
border Of Persia. The original
Greigii had more graceful
forms than the Darwin or Cot
tage types, which were used for
increasing the stem length.
The range Of color in the
Greigii is limited, mainly to
red and yellow, with no pink
or white. But the foliage is
striped and blotched.
So rare are the IL new
tulips at Sterling that their
Dutch hybridist, d. w. LeFeber
could spare only one bulb of
each type. D
So a peek at these plants
actually is a preview Of 1882

When grass Is difficult to
grow, where the slope is too
steep for ease Of moving, where
there is need for low shrubs,
then the choice Of ground COW
ers becomes q gardening prob
lem.
There are many kinds of
ground covers, some for the
sunny slope, several for the
shady area, and q few which
are adapted to special situa-
tions. Some are evergreen,
some are perennial and die back
to the ground In the fall.
Banks seem to be the num-
Der one area for which ground
covers are needed.
For the small bank, especially
the dry sunny one, the spread
ing jumpers are likely to be
most useful. The Waukegan
juniper seems best adapted to
the Washington area since it
only grows a foot high and is
least troubled by the red spider |
mite and the juniper webworm.
Other kinds may be used but
the control problem with the |
existing insecticides makes them
more Of q chore. Undoubtedly |
new materials for the control
Of such pests may be In the off,
ing and will make the growing
of other kinds Of trailing juni-
pers feasible.
Crown Vetch Spreads
The crown vetch (Coronilla
varia) is a perennial that grows
to about IL to Is inches, has
pink flowers from July to Sep
tember and spreads rapidly If
with moisture. Each
plant will ultimately cover an
area 6 feet across. The crown
vetch seems. to be relatively free {
from insect and disease pests l
$50 much so that it is being I
used by several State highway {
for covertng g s
banks, and may be obtained
either as rooted plants or seed. {
In either case the buyer should
obtain the inoculating material
to insure good growth.
The common tawny daylily, {
sometimes called the roadside
lily, is a spreader and will soon
crowd out weeds and grass. The !
foliage dies down in the fall, c
but the roots soon provide a
good soil holding cover. It too '
IS free from insects and dis
eases. The ordinary daylihes l
10 not spread and hence are i
not comparable to the tawny
1aylily.
For Shade Areas
For the shade there are sew
eral worthwhile perennials-
he Japanese spurge (Pachy-
the myrtle, Periwinkle,
lVinca minor), and English ivy !
(Hedera helix) are probably !,
most widely used.
The Japanese spurge Is q
heat upright growing evergreen
hat thrives only in shade. It
needs q soil well enriched with ,,
compost or peatmoss. |;
The myrtle is q trailer with ,
bright blue flowers in the
spring. There are several va
rieties that are considered an
improvement over the common
form. The myrtle will tolerate
more sun than will either the
English ivy or the Japanese
spurge. Myrtle has one growth
characteristic - it takes prac-
tically the first season to be-
come established. The English
Ivy is especially useful IN COW
ering shady, root-filled areas
because with its long stems it
can obtain food and moisture
In one area that viii support
stems and leaves in areas where

Ferns and Others
The sweetfern (Comptonia
peregrina var. asplenifolia) is
a strong grower that will thrive
in sunny situations. The
Christmas fern PolystichumS
acrostichoides) is an evergreen
that needs a moist shady situ-
alton. 1t is well adapted to
woodland areas. There are sew

are spreading and suitable for
ground covers.

African big game country last year, it was less as
an artist than as an animal lover who wanted a
glimpse of the majestic beasts before they are
vanquished by civilization.
But once on the African plains the artist took
over again, and Mr. Lewis filled several note
books with sketches and took several hundred
color photographs to record his adventures
And now, in his studio in Berryville. Va, Mr..
Lewis is busy transcribing his African sketches to
the more stable medium OF oil on canvas. From
his African travels will come a long series Of
exotic animal paintings
Ever since he can remember Mr.. Lewis has
been interested in animals, particularly horses.
For a time. he painted animal portraits for the
Museum Of Natural History in New York City, and
about 20 years ago he moved to Berryville, where
he took up fox hunting and horse pOrtraiture.
1t has been happy combination But having
reached the age of CO. Mr. Lewis has laid aside his

will tell you that the United States didn't become

Mr, Lewis says that one protector of Africa's

cattle are taking over lands once grazed almost
exclusively by wild animals.
