their lineage TO African Lodge

Petunio Seed Very Small;
Can Be Started Indoors

Petunia seeds are so tiny that
they are best started in q sunny
window where special care can
be given them.
AS a planting medium use
either vermiculite. a sterile sub
stance available at any garden
supply store or q sterilized mix
ture of one part Of sand and
two parts Of soil.
To sterilize soil mixture, fill
shallow aluminium foil pans,
put them in the oven, set the
temperature control for lS0 de-
grees and the timer for one
hour.
After pans are cool. the seeds
may be sown in the mixture.
Be sure first to punch holes
near the bottoms Of the sides
OF the pans to insure adequate
drainage.
It is best to SOW the seeds
from the packet. tapping 1t
gently with one finger so that
seeds come out gradually. Sow
about eight seeds to the inch.
Don't cover the seeds. II you
feel you must do something,
press them gently to the vermi-
culite or soil mixture with the
flat Of your hand.
Set planted pan IN o larger
pan partly filled with water and
leave 1t there until the top of

Red Maple

From Mrs. c. H. F., 1725 Erie
street Sc. I have two red maple
Sc Q dlings in my yard that
should be moved. When, how
and what care? How long be-.
fore they will give shade?
Answer: Red naples trans,
plant best in the spring al
though If a large enough ball
of earth is taken so as not to
disturb the roots, they may be
moved at any time. If removed
from under the fence or out OF
a shrub hedge it may be I'M
possible to move with earth,'
then the transplanting should
be done in the spring.
Shorten the branches after
moving to compensate for loss
of roots. Water well using a
transplanting solution; perhaps,
wetting the roots with a root
ing hormone before placing in.
the new site would be desirable.
It will take at least five years
before they begin to give a lit,
tie shade. That will vary ac-
cording to the soil and care
given. q.

Euonymus Scale

From Mrs. ]. v. s., 1911
Francis H a m m o n d parkway.
Alexandria. How often should
the euonymus be sprayed with
dimethoate to control the eu-
onymus scale2 Answer - Ap-
parently one spraying q season
should give complete control.
However, the dead scales do
not fall for some time and the
plant will appear to be still in
tested, when actually not with
live scales. The reason for last
summers recommendation was
that 1t needed help and 1t was
doubtful II the dimethoate
would remain effective over
winter. An application in April
should suffice. Malathion, was
formerly the only satisfactory
control when applied while the
scales we're In the crawler stage.

Africun VioIets

From o. M. j., 6l2 N. Emer-
son street, Arlington, Va. My
African violets seem to be dis
eased, is there a spray that
may be used to control this
condition? Answer The leaves
appear to have been infested
with spider or cyclamen mites.
They should be sprayed with
malathion or some similar ma
terial (out-of- -doors) at regu-
lar intervals to keep these pests
under control. The small size
may indicate q root nematode
problem. This can be deter
mined by examing tie roots for
enlargements. If found they
may be pruned and the plants
reset in sterilized soil. The
spots on the leaves might be
anthracnose or some other leaf
spot. Sanitation is the best
control - clean sterilized soil,
removal of all dead foliage,
flowers, etc.
