THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

The recent hot muggy
weather not only kept the gar
dener in the shade but it was
most favorable for the spread
of plant diseases. Roses in par
ticular. showed how rapidly
black-spot can spread. Rust and
many other plant diseases de-
velop rapidly under such con-
ditions. This situation c N only
be met through the regular ap-
plication of Fungicides. Most
gardeners prefer to use an all
purpose mixture, one containing
fermate, or captain, phaltan,
etc., for the control of diseases;
that contains malathion, or
some similar material for the
control of the sucking insects;
and some material for the con-
troll of chewing insects such
as DOT, methoxychlor, lindane.
etc. Avoid mixtures which con-
tain a substantial quantity of
sulphur because sulfur can burn
or even defoliate plants when
temperatures are above IS de-
grees.
If dusts are used they will
need to be put on after every
shower, since the rain will US
ually remove them. Sprays are
longer lasting especially if a
"sticker" is added. However,
both should be looked upon as
preventatives. 1t is necessary to
keep the protective coating on
the foliage at all times.

BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
Patriotic, CHEEKY
Floral Grouping
BY MRS. HERBERT H. eREGER

The week end Of the Fourth
of July is probably the most
opportune time to try a COM
bination of red, white and blue
for our flower arrangement.
But, it is a task to scan my
gardens possessions for color
values that will come close to
those which we recognise as
the colors of our flag. Alas,
this red, white and blue is
hardly ever available cat the
same time) In midsummer.
We shall find beautiful red
flowers or foliage, but the red
often has purple or yellow blood
lines. We can surely find some
blue flowers, but, when we
place them near the blue of
the flag, we find that there is
much too much red in their
blue petals. When we come to
the choice of white, we have
an easier time since lilies,
phlox, feverfew and many other
flowers provide that compo-
nent.
What does it matter If we
use colors which only infor-
mally relate to the flag? They
are colors which express COM
pletely and in a different me-
dunn our Joy on the day which
commentaries our Declaration
of Independence.
To be thrilled and jubilant
that there ever occurred such
a day as this is one Of our
American privileges. The way
in which we choose to express
this feeling is our own and
very personal liberty. Whether
we hang out the flag or light
up the dark sky with mar
made stars or whether we seek
among our cherished flowers
those which can most nearly
combine into the simple SYM
Dol of the land we love, that
is entirely up to us.
Only, let us stay away from
indifference and allow the rec
blooded feeling of a festive
spirit to salute the day. In.
difference is like a maladS
which makes people negative
and often disguStingly dull. i
separates them from all that
is alive and warm and crea.
tive, makes them abstainers Of
critics or even ridiculers.

needs aspiration, the creative

Sculpture

No less monumental an
event is the appearance of
the third part of John Pope
Hennessy's ITALIAN HIGH
RENAISSANCE AND BA-
ROGUE SCULPTURE in
three volumes: Text, cata-
logue and plates ($l2.50 the
volume). This completes
Pope Hennessy's deep and
broad survey of Italian sculp-
ture. the previous books be-
ing concerned with the Goth
ic and Renaissance periods.
Now all the striving re-
corded in the earlier books
bursts into full maturity in
the sculpture of Michel
angelo. A new sculptural Ian
guage is created and pres
emily many artists are
speaking in it. We watch the
decline Of virtuosity as 1t
turns in upon itself, but we
also see the continuing, top
level achievement of such
men as Bronzino and Ber-
mini. For a long time 1t was
customary to regard prac-
tically this entire field-from
the end of the 18th TO the
end Of the 18th centuries-as
a period of decline. The au-
thor effectively rescues the
period for all of us.
The conclusion, no doubt,
is that just because a work
is beautiful doesn't mean it's
no good. The distrust Of
beauty in sculpture or any
thing else goes back to the
Puritans Of early New Eng
land and has been most
manifest recently in the APP
probation of abstract express
sionist art. It is heartening
TO see a great scholar DEM
onstrate In work after work
that 1t is entirely legitimate
to love even the beautiful.

Medieval

From this extensive exam
nation of the great centu-
ries Of Italian painting and
sculpture, the list with which
we deal turns to the earlier
centuries In the north of Eu-
rope. Henri Focillon's THE
ART OF THE WEST is per-
haps the No. / book on the
age of the cathedrals and the
art of the cathedrals.
Although Focillon himself
spent his last years in this
country-as an art historian
at Yale and as the spokes-
man here Of the Free French
against Vichy-his great work
now appears for the first
time In English. In two vol
umes, ROMANESQUE ART
and GOTHIC ART ($7.95 the
volume), and over 800 photo
graphs, Focillon examines the
art that followed the reunifi-
cation Of Europe after the
fall Of the Western Roman
Empire and the Dark Ages.
The book is a different,
more generalized kind OF
scholarship from that Of the
others. Partly this is because
the works under review are,
in the great majority of
cases, anonymous and collab-
orative, even, in some exam
Piles, undoubtedly communal
in their origin and execution.
Hence, the community, the
situation Of time and place,
become more overriding con-
siderations than they nor
mally are in the tracing Of
the professional life OF indi-
vidual artists or even q sue
cession Of individual artists.
The author therefore exam
ines the crude society-itself
in the process of refinement
that began producing
church buildings Of q new
kind in the 18th century.
Again, the sensitive under
standing Of a great scholar
is the key for all Of us TO
the beginnings of our own
culture and TO still enduring
elements in our psychology.

Buroque

The third of the four is
the only single volume book
in the lot, Ellis Warehouses;
ITALIAN BAROQUE PAINT
ING ($7.50) with 200 illuStra-
tons. Again we deal with a
period in need of >esuce and
the author performs the les
cue operations with sound
scholarship and a non-con-
troversial approach. A great
deal Of nonsense has been
written about Caravaggio and
his followers and it is all
quietly refuted in these pages.
Caravaggio himself is placed
in a tradition that began sub
Stantially before him.
1t continued, of course,
long after him. The book
conducts a tour through
Italy, for If Renaissance
painting. wherever it appears,
can be accurately described
as either Florentine or Sien-
nese-Venetian, Baroque can
not. From the two Sicily to,
all the north, Baroque was at
once provincial and metro
politan. Out of all this came
a way of painting that pro-
foundly influenced both the
18th and 10Th centuries.

The dividing and resetting Of

the same manner as roses grow
and flower.

ART AND ARTISTS
Four Essential Art Books in Old
Tradition Due Major Attention

essentially annotated lists. It
is in the composition of these
lists that true order is per-
ceived in the world Of art.
To the list makers the rest
of us owe any sense of Or
der and progression we have
in art history.
The first Of the books is
quite literally only a list. But
what a list! The two-volume
ITALIAN PICTURES OF
THE RENAISSANCE: FLOR
ENTINE SCHOOL by Bern
ard Berenson ($12.50 the vol
ume) is subtitled "a list of
the principal artists and
their works, with an index of
places" The words are ac-
curate. The two quietly beau
tiful volumes list all the
artiSts-so many of whom
have achieved their modern
identity chiefly through the
labors Of Berenson and
their works in the broadest
sense. That is, In this final
period of his long life Of
scholarship, Berenson passed
beyond the EXCLUSIVELY of his
youth. Side by side with the
unquestionable work Of a
m aster now appear works
done in his studio with as
SiStantS, works done under
his direction and works done
under his influence. The dis
tinctions are kept clear in
the basic list.
The list is alphabetical by
artist and place. The 1,478
first rate photographs are
arranged chronologically. 1t
is thus possible to review the
still incredible Towering of
the FlorentineS from Gina
bue through Giotto and Ma
saccio right up to the peak
of the Renaissance In Mi
chelangelo, Raphael and Leo
nardo, and down from that
height to the muted extrav-
agance of Pontormo, Bron-
zinc and Rosso.
The pictures include, as
useful, drawings, cartoons,
sculpture and even tapes
tries. Here in Washington,
where we owe so much to
the taste Of Bernard Beren-
soma great deal of the Ma
tional Gallery is the direct
product of that taste-it is
good to know that this final
achievement has been pro-
duced in collaboration with
the Samuel H. Kress Founda-
ton.

you will see the daylilies, the

They mark your way in red,

of this day. From the garden,
tall spikes of blue bells are
combined with feverfew and

bond them into a strong unit
some of the larger leaves OF
tall Boltonia are added and

Beetles Appear

The Japanese beetles began
to appear in a few gardens
last week. Spray or dust with

and flowers Of their food
plants. Apples, peaches and
plubs are favored foods, as are
the tassles and silks Of sweet
corn. Unless protected. these
plants suffer greatly from these
greedy pests. Rose blooms may
be protected by directing the
dust into the center Of each
flower.
