ART AND ARTISTS

has been now That man can
get into orbit and, hopefully,
reach the moon in this dec
ade, the artist must drip,
splash and splatter his paint
upon his canvas. The same
conclusion has been reached
from the premises Of nuclear
fission and the invention Of
computers.
Mr.. Nesbitt is distinguished
by the absolute absence Of
such gimmickry in paint or
prose. The paintings them
selves manage to communi-
cate q feeling Of celestiar
bodies and deep space, space
so far beyond that Of our
earth that conventional per-
spective becomes meaning
less.
In fact the artist does EN-
ploy splatter techniques. but
they are only a part Of the
total image and they are
used very effectively against
very competent handling Of
color meditation and glazes.
Nov See Light as I See It,"
which is fairly typical Of the
titles. is deceptively simple
in description. The bottom
half Of what might be a giant
color wheel occupies most Of
the paintings rectangle, The
wedges Of the wheel are each
in one predominant and
bright color, but within each
wedge, the color shifts from
area to area, very suhtly and
in some ways recalling Geor-
gia O'Keeffe.
Below the arc Of the wheel
is pure black space and be-
low that is q shallow arc from
frame to frame. Astonishing
ly, the whole composition re-
calls the basic shapes Of
Durer's Great Fortune"
which has the goddess float
ing on a sphere above an arc
of mountains.
From the white center Of
the wheel, white splatter
covers the colored wedges
and the black space. It be-
comes, in the context, both
the thrusting energy Of the
sun and the myriad stars
distant beyond imagination.
Mr.. Nesbitt manages to
convey this sense Of deep
space in endless variety and
without repetition. through
the use Of different forms,
all sensitively colored, ali
seen against an almost
breathing space.
One Of the loveliest Is
Green, How Much I Want
You Green" a line from the
poet, Lorca, In the center Of
quiet wine-coiored space, thu
glowing green ball quietly
pulsates for the eve. Simple
yet hypnotically effective.
Most Of the pictures are.

Top Blooms

When azaleas and rhododen-
drons are in bloom 1t is good
practice to remove the tor
blooms or any unwanted side
branches and take them in
doors for decoration. 1t is Just
as easy to take such branches
while they are in bloom as II
is to prune them In the spring
or summer, as the case may
be, to shape the bushes. The
removal OF the top branches OF
the rhododendrons helps to
keep the plants from getting
too tall.

ComeIIios in D. c. Area
Are Here to Stay

The west side is preferable to
the east in that frozen foliage
should be protected from the
sun. Plants on the east side of
the house do not have time for
the foliage to thaw before the
sun reaches them. whereas on
the west side this is more likely.
OF course. the ideal situation
is one in which the plants are
protected from the sun by the
lacy twigs Of oaks and other
tall growing shade trees. A
high hedge that shuts out the
winter sun may make an ideal
situation for them.
The actual planting Of the
camellia Is Just about as SIM
pie and easy as that of an
azalea except for one thing.
The camellia will not tolerate
deep planting-the old rule,
plant one inch too deep and
the plant sulkS. 2 inches too
deep and 1t dies" may be open
to question but 1t does explain
why the illustrations in every
camellia catalog EN- p hasize
high" planting. 1t is easy to
incorporate generous quantities
OF compost and peatmoss into
the planting hole. and to place
the root ball high enough so
that after settling the ball will
still be above the level at which
1t was dug In the nursery. Also,
that after settling the ball will
liberal mulching at all times.
With the roots so close to the
surface Of the ground 1t is i'm
portant that they be protected
with a thick mulch Of pine nee
dies or some other open type Of
mulch. Pine needl: are ideal
in that they permit air and
moisture to the roots at all
times.
Came elias are much more
tolerant Of soil acidity than
are the widely planted azaleas.
Several surveys by southern
experiment stations have shown
that the camellia may be found
growing satisfactorily in soils
ranging from very acid to neu-
trail In their PHI readings. Thus
the proper planting and mulch
ing are the major considera-
tions that is after selecting the
best planting site, and, of
course, picking dependable va
rieties for the Washington
area.
The Camellia Society of the
Potomac Valley has q very i'm
portant committee whose duty
is to maintain q year by year
record Of the performance Of
every camellia variety grown in
this area. Annually the society
reviseS its recommended list Of
varieties on the basis Of these
records. Only those recon-
mended by the society should
be planted by the beginner.

Camellia growing in this arel

Camellia growing in this area
seems to have suffered q Sec
ond setback by OF Man Win
ter. A long while ago there were
many who claimed that all oi
their flower buds had beer
killed and that the spring flow
er show for out-of-door grown
blooms should be Cancelled. Un-
doubtedly a great many flower
buds were killed and this was
especially true of the smaller
plants and on the less well
adapted varieties.
However. in spite OF the
weather at that early time
many camellias suddenly awoke
and began opening blooms dur
ing the summer-like weather
Of three to four weeks ago
Eighty plus temperatures
brought bloom and some Of II
was undamaged. Bernice Bod
dey, one Of the hardest ca
mellias, came through the win
ter looking as though 1t were
done for, but began opening
numerous flowers on April 2 at
this writer's home. This rush
Of bloom in late March and
early April. along with warm
weather since. did finally force
cancellation of the show.
Actually, there has only been
one rather major bloom failure
in the Washington area since
camellia growing became well
established. That was In 1900
81, The past winter was almost
as bad. These two winters,
however should not discourage
the growing Of camellias In
this area. Rather 1t should
point the way to a more care
full selection of varieties and q
better appreciation of their
planting requirements.
Camellias, the Japonicas- -
the ones that produce the
blooms that make such delight
ful corsages, do require pro-
lection from winter sun and
wind. The north side Of the
house is considered to be the
best situation although II ex-
posed to strong winds may not
be as safe as the west side.

Tent CoterpiIIors
Eusy to Destroy

In a little while silken dirty
gray tent-shaped nests will ap-
pear in the forks Of apple, wild
cherry Towering ounce and
crabapple, and hawthorn trees.
These are nests Of tent cater
pillars which migrate to tree
tops by day to devour leaves
and defoliate the trees. It Is so
easy to destroy them.
Don't burn the nests. Burn
ing may scorch the branches
and do more harm than good.
Simply spray with a forcible
stream Of insecticide or dust
the nests with insecticide.
