Seldom have I harvested So
much pleasure from an invest
ment Of so little effort. In fact,
I estimate a ratio Of 95 per cent
pleasure to 5 per cent effort, so
let me tell you about it.
For many reasons I am not
good at storing bulbs, corms,
tubers and tuberous roots. For
this reason I had neglected to
plant tuberous rooted begoniaS
which meant only an addition
to my troubles. But this spring,
I decided to waive possible
failure and to treat begonias
as if they were ANIMALS. !
planted them by my terrace
where the sun is only a short
visitor twice a day and where
the light shade seemed ideal
for their culture. I started sew
eral of these tubers indoors for
early bloom and later planted
some directly out Of doors.
They were slow to come along.
To give them a little compe-
tition. I selected several bloom
ing plants from the flower shop
and planted them in the same
area. I did not know what
pleasure was in store for me.
Ever since the first big double
flowers unfolded their thick
petals, I have had continuous
bloom in the choicest of colors.
Deep opulent red, bright glow
ing yellow and silky white COM
bine with the choice peach and
pink to give quite a show. I
have a chance to admire them
on the plant for several days
or to pick one or two daily for
a simple arrangement.
Normally, I do not cut the
beautifully formed leaves, but
substitute the plentiful leaves
Of the perennial begonia. The
leaves are the source Of my
blooming profusion. However.
when the fleshy main stem Of
the plant becomes somewhat
tall and needs bracing, ! feel
that the time for pruning is
here. The plant win take a
shaF5 rest and then develop
into a double header.
It was a thrill to see this
beautiful piece Of plant ma
terial when I placed 1t into a
tallish, highly glazed. soft, blue
green vase. The satin sheened
petals of the most delicious
peach hue began to dazzle the
eyes with its harmonious COM
plement. The attractive leaves
blend their green with the con-
tainer and accent their shape in
contrast to the smooth shape
OF It.
The container was really
much too tall, even though II

LiIyturfs Are Good
For Shade, Edgings

the foliage for the first year or
two, thereafter barely above.
Blue Spire is more dependable
for its floral display.
In addition to the above
mentioned species and varieties
there are several with variegat-
ed foliage that may have a
place in some landscape plant
ings.
In developing a ground cover
the plants may be spaced from
s to 8 inches apart. Some will
give them more spacing for
strong growth so as to have q
number Of divisions in 2 or 3
years for planting from a few
purchased plants.
Little Care Needed
Once established the lilyturfs
seem to require no further
care. However, the old foliage
Is rather unattractive and so
in most places it is common
practice to clip the foliage in
the spring.
Division and planting should
be done In the spring in this
area. Some may wish to obtain
seed and grow plants in that
manner. They do best when the
fresh seed is sown as soon as
ripe. Cover it about 34-inch
deep in any good garden loan.
The seedlings should be large
enough for transplanting to the
border in 2 years. Seedlings
viii have some variation where-
as divisions produce uniform
plants.
In mentioning the qualifica-
tons Of the lilyturfs it was
stated that they grew well in
the shade. However. they can
not be expected to thrive in
competition with maple, elm,
or beech roots. They do require
food and moisture from the
soil. But they have been found
useful in areas where grass was
difficult to maintain. There is
such a planting on Glenbrook
road in Bethesda where, be-
cause Of water splashed over
the parking by passing cars
grass was rather unsatisfac-
tory. The hlyturfs seem to
thrive there.

The lilyturfs are not new to
Washington gardens but they
are not used nearly as widely
as they should be. An ever
green herbaceous plant that is
comparatively free from d.
seases and insect pests, 1t Is
adapted to shade. poor soils,
even thrives under neglect.
Surely it is worth considera-
ton.
The lilyturfs consist Of plants
Of two botanic genuS-Ophi-
opogon and Liriope. They are
also known as Monde grass
which is not too far fetched
since q well grown planting Of
them resembles turf at q dis
lance. However, they are mem
bers of the lily family, hence
the name lilyturf is more log
ical.
Two species Of Ophiopogon
are most widely grown-O. ja-
ponicus and o. jaburan. OF the
Liriope, L. muscari and its
varieties are the best known in
this country.
In spite of the fact that two
genus comprise the lilyturfs,
the gardener is more interested
in their height and growth,
width Of leaves and whether
or not the flower spikes are
above or are hidden in the
foliage. Roughly speaking the
Ophiopogons are lower grow
ing and have the narrower To-
liage. However, o. japonicus Is
q better spreader and makes q
more desirable turf. Liriope
muscari is q clump type and so
makes the more desirable edg-
ing although somewhat taller
growing.
Flowers in Summer
The dark green foliage Of
these make them useful at all
seasons, although the foliage
of some may be too dull for
best appearances. In the late
summer each clump produces
numerous spikes of flowers =
varying by species or variety
lilac, violet or white.
The foliage may be cut the
same as grass but the benefits
seem to be lost under such
treatment. In other words, they
should be allowed to retain the
foliage through the winter,
then given a clipping at a
height of an inch or two above
the crowns.
For a good ground cover
some suggest that o. japonicus
is the best. However, its flow
ers are usually hidden in the
foliage and this may be a dis
appointment to some. General
ly speaking, the flowers are
more important in edging
plants and this is true Of some
of the Liriopes. Big Blue may
prove disappointing since its
flower spikes are well above
