To Build New Lawns
Test for Soil Needs

cd Of settling is advisable if
standing water is to be avoided.
The choice of grass seed de-
ponds upon the desires Of the
gardener. There are dozens of
mixtures on the market from
which to select. Every package
has a list of seeds contained
therein.
Only the creeping red fescue,
CheWing's fescue, and the blue
grasses are recommended as
fine turf grasses for this area.
Red top, rye grass, timothy,
tall feScue, and meadow fescue
may be included in the. mix
lures so that they may be sold
at a competitive price. They
are not fine leaved lawn grass
es. For play areas and other
locations it may be desirable
to use some of them, especially
the tall feScue.
Of course the gardener may
go into any of the garden sup
ply stores and buy the fescues
and blue grass and make up
his own mixture. This is a good
practice.
The amount Of grass seed to
use is very small pound
of good seed per thousan
square feet of area is more
than ample. A thin stand of
grass may not look like a top
grade lawn the first few
months. but by the second year
it is the strongest and best.
One pound of Kentucky blue
grass seed contains 2,250,000
seeds at l pound per thousand
square feet. This is equivalent
to $3.50 seeds per square foot.
A 10th of that number would be
more IMAM ample Tor a good
lawn.
Most kinds Of grass seeds
should be lightly cultivated
into the soil but not Kentucky
blue grass. In other words, all
seeds going in except blue grass
should be broadcast first over
the lawn area and raked light
ly into the soil. then the blue
grass seed should be broadcast
next, and the soil rolled. If the
soil is dry. a heavy roller may
be safely used; if damp. only
a light roller. Soil compaction
should be avoided, but grass
seed must have a firm seed bed
in which to terminate.
The last step is to mulch

Stone Fruits

1t is time to spray the lower
two feet of the trunks of peach,
plum and other "stone-fruit"
trees to control the peach tree
borer. This is one pest that
cannot be ignored-they don't
miss. A S or 10 per cent DOT
solution on the lower portion
of the trunk should kill the
newly Matched borer grubs as
they crawl downwards toward
the soil. The point of entry is
just below the soil line. hence
there is no point in spraying
the trunk at higher levels. This
spray should be repeated every
3 weeks until the first of &C.
tober to give full coverage.

BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
Flowers 7 ypify
Joys of Summer
MRS. HERBERT H. eREeER

In this good old summer
time, we should not fail to-
count the plentitude of our
blessings.
There is wonderful sunshine
for tanning and there is cool
shade. Gentle breezeS from
hay-scented me adows and
swirling winds before the
storms. There are thunder
storms with their f a nta st C
clouds and the wonder of thun-
der which follows lightning.
There is the rain of summer
which feels like a gentle show
err on your face. There are va
cations and swimming in lakes
or laundering surf, or lazing
in drifting sands among the
gemlike pebbles. The noun
tains call with their silent
strength, their matchless maj
esty, sparkling sire am S and
rocks waiting to be climbed.
There is togetherness of fami-
ly, of friends, rest and relaxa-
ton. What could be happier
than summertime?
While flowers now are not as
prolific as in spring, they are
of long duration in display of
color and beauty. The sassy
black-eyed Susan of field and
roadside, butterfly weed in
bright orange and the honey
ever-present hollyhock bloom
seemingly all summer long.
These are to me very express
sive of simple informality
which is the particular proper
ty of the good life of summer
With lazy effortless Joy we
pick summer flowers and fill
unassuming containers which
seem to suit them to a T. The

GIudioIus Thrips

Those gladioluS paintings
that were protected with di-
methodate were unusually free
from thrip damage, whereas
some of the unprotected ones
were completely ruined. The
thrips must be killed with ma
lathion, and other miticide be-
fore they can get into the flower
buds. The dimethoate pene-
trates the plant tissue and
thus reaches all thripS.

much as some did in Roman
days, begged to hold a profu-
sion of bloom. Into it I simply
placed a plastic icebox con-
tainer, fitted it with a nail
holder, and there was enough
water for all components and
yet it was invisible in the open
lacery of the basket.
I stripped the lower leaves
from the butterfly weed and
used the diversified shapes of
it to outline the general de-
sign for a mass arrangement.
Since the basket has an oval
form it was natural to mark
out a somewhat oval area with
these clusters of flowers.
The State flower of Mary
land, the lovely black-eyed Su-
san, was carefully placed SO
that a spotted effect would be
avoided. The strong yellow and
black centered daisy flowers
are in informal, chatty groups.
Delicate peach colored and
deep red hollyhock makes up
the central part of the ar
rangement. These are side
shoots of persistent, six-foot
volunteers. Hollyhock stays
fresh in an arrangement only
if the stem ends are severely
burned. A half dozen small
leaves of hosta or plantain lily
add a larger, light green sur
face to the combination.
The charming lid of the bas-
ket balances against the back
of the arrangement. Tuck 6
few more holly ks anC
black-eyed Susans in the back
near the pretty lid, and yol
can see that you could use thi
all-around arrangement on ;
picnic table to everyone's de-
light.

Weed Killers

The home gardener cannot
be too careful in the use of
weed killers several of them
are volatile and the fumes and
spray drifting onto sensitive
flowers can be fatal. Even the
experts do not know all of the
answers. At the Pennsylvania
State University test plots for
the All-America Selections

maintain the quality of the
exported bulbs.
Once the bulbs are harvested
they must be cured and graded
in Holland and then are sub
ject to further delay by quar-
antine at the port of entry.
Fall Towering bulbs Stern
bergia lutea, Colchicum, cro-
Gus, etc., should be planted as
early as possible and they are
probably available from garden
centers and supply stores ir
this area. Madonna lily bulb
ought to go into the ground a.
soon as they can be obtained
because they make top growth
in the fall and this helps thei
flower bud development.

By WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

The hard impervious sickly
brown turf areas are not likely
to incite many to do something
about a good quality drought
resisting lawn. Late August and
early September is the period
in which good new lawns are
made in this area. Timing is
most important to the success
of the new lawn.
The building of a new lawn
might well start with a soil
test. Does the soil need lime,
plant food and/or humus? A
soil test should show what is
needed and how much of each.
Most folks guess and once in a
while they hit the right amount,
but generally they do not add
enough to give the desired re-
suits.
Once the amounts of lime
and plant food to be incor-
porated in the soil when pre-
pairing the seed bed are known,
then the owner might also
consider some of the weed kill
ers that can be used to remove
all unwanted grass and weeds.
There are some that may be
applied before spading, such as
dalapon and amino triazole,
that can and should be ap-
piled before the soil is turned.
Methyl bromide and DID, ETC.,
are applied after the soil is
titled. Other materials can be
used to good effect.
Once the weed killers and
the plant food have been de-
cided upon, the next major
consideration is humuS. Most
of our soil are very deficient
and a generous quantity should
be mixed into the soil at prep
aration time. Peat moss, saw
dust, rotted hay and straw are
all useful for this purpose. A
pinch layer is not too much
for mixing into the top 6
inches of soil.
Allow the soil to settle be-
fore raking and leveling. After
the first raking, further peri

trials saliva proved so sensi-
tive that most of them were
killed by materials which did
not phase petunias, snapdrag-
onS and a host of other an
nuals. The weed killers should
be applied when the air is still,
with low pressure and the noz-
zle adjusted to a fairly coarse
spray. Even then it is wise to
shield neighboring plants with
a piece of cardboard or piece of
plastic.

Man Who Faced
9 Wives Faces
Check Trial Now

A 32-year-old rug salesman
who told District police he had
nine wives within 10 years has
been turned over to Rocking
ham County (VaD authorities
on bad check charges. @
The county sheriff's office
said William j. Halbrook, listed
in the 5000 block of Eighteenth
street NV, is wanted in Har-
risonburg. Va, for passing a
worthless SITS check, felony
under Virginia law.
Halbrook waived an extradi-
ton hearing yesterday in
Municipal Court. A District
charge Of attempted false pre-
lenses. a misdemeanor, was
dropped.
He was arrested here Novem-
Der 7 after police said he posed
as a doctor and attempted to
obtain money from a George
Washington University student
whom he wanted to make his
10th wife.
Police said Halbrook told
them he had married two other
Washington area women and
that seven previous marriages
had been annuled. He re-
quested a mental examination
but District General Hospital
found him mentally competent
to stand trial.
