HE BUILDUP has begun. Another "'horse-
power race" is getting under way. Stock-car
racing, raw horsepower figures, brutal speeds
...they are all being pushed into more and more
prominence in newspapers and magazines, on
radio and TV.
These things are being glamorized in arti-
cles, manufacturers press releases, even some
advertisements :. despite the fact that last
year witnessed the most disastrous toll of traf-
fc fatalities this nation has ever known.
This glorifcation of horsepower and speed
to promote the sale of cars is, we believe,
against the common good.

The Best of Both" Makes
Good Sense and Loyal Owners

We believe racing has a place as an interest
ing and exciting sport-on a special course,
with specially designed cars, planned super
vision, and experienced racing drivers at the
wheel risking only their own lives.
But professional race cars are not even re-
motely like the cars which the motoring pub
lie wants-since the public wants comfort
with its performance, safety with its accelera-
ton, economy with its horsepower.
That is why Rambler offers fully ample and
responsive horsepower, and wide choice of
optional horsepower selections-but With the
best possible balance betUUeen performance and
economy.
We are convinced that the consumer wants
and should have the best of both-a sensible
and satisfying combination of performance
and economy, as well as roominess and ham
ding ease.
We build Ramblers that way, but also with
a special dedication to provide more useful
ness, greater value, longer car life
We have reason to believe the public wants
it this way-for over 100000 car owners
have switched to Rambler, and they are the
most loyal and most enthusiastic owners of all.

BEAUTY IN FLOWERS
Berry Clusters
Can Be Arresting
BY MRS. HERBERT H. eREGER

mum offers a breathtaking ar
ray of berry clusters. When
saw the heavy clusters of vi
burnum burkwoodii, I knew
that I had the perfect plant
material for the shiny red con-
tainer. Some of the immature
fruit was still bright-red, some
was darker and the majority OF
it looked like highly polished
black lacquer beads.
Their affinity with the con-
tainer was completely exciting
Now it was important to find
some smart looking plant mate
rial to balance the glitter with
an interesting pattern. After 9
little shopping around in the
garden, the Juliana Burberry
seemed to be a good partner. A
bit of pruning, and the new
shoots added an interesting
outline of a light green colol
and the slight sheen on the
older leaves contraSted nicely
with the dull round leaves Of
Viburnum.
The container holds water

ponent into this remarkable
medium is an absolute pleasure

Then the lush, black and rec
berries were placed along a yer.

close enough to catch all the at
tention. A black stand finishes

Many an arranger has hit
the rocks in a flower show
when she dared to use a con-
tainer with a high glaze. 1t was
neither accepted practice nor
considered in good taste. The
result was usually a note from
the judges, in carefully couched
language, that they feel the ar
rangement would be improved
by a dull-surfaced container.
To a lover of china and pot
terry, a fine glaze adds greater
charm to a piece. Considering
the skill and knowledge behind
such an achievement, it seems
a shame that many such con-
tainers are gathering dust on
the shelves.
My main concern is with the
suitability of a container in
reference to the flowers. True,
a neutral color and a soft, dull
finish on a container gives the
flowers an added advantage. A
high glaze can be too dominant
or aggressive, but there are
times and plant materials
where a beautiful glaze be-
comes an essential part Of the
orderly plan.
Let us consider the glossy
deep red lockwood container
whose makers pride themselves
in perfect and beautiful glazeS
The shiny surface reflects light
and offers a hard, smooth sur.
face to the touch.
i One of the much-desireC
qualities of good design Ii
rhythmic harmony, which is
very often created by the repe-
titious use Of one or another
element Of design.
The very moment at which
we introduce glossy and
smooth textured plant material
into a highly glazed lockwood
container, we create a suitable,
repetitious harmony that is
quite satisfying and pleasant.

THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

Many gardeners hearing var
ious theories on lawn culture
are afraid to use lime, fertiliz-
er, and seed in the same day.
They can be if-the lime is pull
verified (grounO limestone. Hy-
drafted lime will burn the seed
and any living plant material it
comes into contact with and it
will release the nitrogen in the
fertilizer-don't use it when re-
building an old lawn. The rec
commended pulverized lime
stone is slower acting and long
er lasting and is safe to use
anytime. The nitrogen in the
fertilizer will probably be wash
ed into the soil by the time the
grass seed terminates - if put
on at the same time as the seed.
Do not seed and then a week or
two later put on the fertilizer
it would burn the tender new
roots and leaves Of the sprout-
ing seed.
Don't Buy POa Annua
Most lawn grass seed mix
lures are now listing the kinds
of seed contained according to
whether or not they are fine
leaved or coarse leaved. This is
a new departure and not all of
the seed offered this season will
be so marked. Several States
are requiring the label to show
whether or not there is annual

LAWN BUILDING-H
Fall Planted Grass
Has Best Chance

Kentucky bluegrass is the most
dependable of the bluegraSSes.
1t is subject to a leafspot, but
is fairly immune to striped
smut, and rust which are so
Objectionable on Merton blue
in this area. The other named
varieties of bluegraSses have
not shown any superiority in
this area over the common
Kentucky bluegrass. Kentucky
bluegrass should be used in
both sunny and shady area
mixtures.
Supplemental Seed
To supplement the bluegrass
the creeping red fescue Is
commonly used in the sunny
area mixture and the Chew
ingS fescue in the dry shade
areas. The Penn Lawn appears
to be the best of the creeping
red varieties and Illahee, the
better of the Chewing varie-
ties.
The Kentucky 81 tall fescue,
might well receive more atten-
ton. 1t is a fairly disease free
grass, grows we'll in this area,
and does not seem to go dor
mant during the hot dry pc
RODS. 1t is a bit coarse for
some people, but if cut at one
inch this is not so noticeable.
At the Beltsville Turf plots it
showed no clumpinesS and in
spite of the drought and hot
weather was green and fresh
looking.
Danish bluegrass is some
times offered for shade-in
this area it will only last for
a few years in moist shade. 1t
is sold under the botanical
name-Poa trivialiS.
The quantity of grass seed to
be used per 1000 square feet
has been widely studied-there
were a whole series of plots on
the Mall many years ago. Thin
seeding gives the best turf in
the long run. A pound of blue
grass contains 2H million
seeds - one pound per 1000
square feet means over 2 thcu-
sand seeds per square foot of
area.
The fescue seeds are much
larger and l pound per thou
sand square feet will mean 400
to 900 seeds per square foot.
If the seed is worth planting
has good termination and
purity-one pound of each per
1000 square feet should give
an excellent stand.

The drought-ending deluge
of last week revived lawns and
gardens throughout the Metro
politan area. The heavy rains
turned lawns a pleasing green,
something that endless water
ing with hose and sprinkler
could not do. Probably because
of the high temperatures which
produced a dormant condition
in the bluegrass.
Now that the soil is moist
enough for digging it is time
to do whatever is needed to
improve the lawnS-now is the
time to fertilize, to lime and to
sow grass seed. Fall work is most
important to the success of the
lawn.
September is peony planting
