Are Worth Attention

most attractive, especially when
viewed from below - the bells
hang down. The Towering sea-
son comes when bloom is not
needed, and some think the
trees value is only when in
flower. The Mountain Silver
bell has the larger flowers. They
seem fairly tolerant Of soils.
The American Yellow-wood
(Cladrastls lutea) is not often
seen although 1t is a hardy
native with few insect and
disease problems. is tolerant Of
soils although growing best in
the lighter soils. The pendulous
clusters Of white, fragrant
blooms appear in June. It is a
medium sized tree-to so feet,
although somewhat on the slow
side In rate of growth. The
Yellow-wood Is highly rated
both for It's flowers and for the
autumn coloring of the foliage.
Some may wonder why the
Maackia is not given equal
mention but 1t is subject to
borer injury in addition to being
a slow grower. The summer
Towering Franklinia is another
omitted because of being both
difficult to transplant and its
requirement Of q soil high In
humus. The Korean Stewartia
Is much more dependable and
has almost equally snowy
flowers In July.

Black Fly Pests
Breed in Streams

Black flies, often called buff
falo gnats because Of their
bumped appearance, breed in
running water and may mi
CRATE long distances. according
to Assistant Montgomery
County Agent Brian Finger.
Scratching the bites may re-
suit in secondary infections,
but the pests give most trouble
by flying about the head and
seeking entry through ears,
eyes, nose and mouth.
Repellants applied to skin
and clothing are advised for
those working outside.
Other types Of treatment,
such as stream treatment,
should not be attempted ex-

ARMSTRONG ROSE
WINS ROME MEDAL

Armstrong Nurseries of On
tario, Calf, has won the
coveted Gold Medal of the
prize of Rome" at the 1868
competition for new roses at
Rome, Italy, for their fragrant,
pink hybrid tea rose, Eiffel
Tower.
The international jury Sc
lected the variety as the best
in the large lowered" class.
Rose breeders from IL coun-
tries entered a total Of 116
seedlings for the judging, which
covers a two-year testing
period.
The co-inventors of Eiffel
Tower are Herbert c. Swim and
DR.. David L. Armstrong, the
latter being director of research
for the Ontario firm. The prize
winning variety will be avail
able nationally for the 1864
planting season.
The new gold medal rose is
outstanding for its magnifi-
Gently shaped, exceedingly fra
grant pink buds, which mea-
sure up to 4 inches in length,
and for its straight, relatively
thorn-free canes. The full open
flower measures 5 to 6 inches
across, and the plant itself
grows to 6 feet or more.

When it comes to roses, ALL
America time is June-and the
winners this year are two fra
grant new varieties, Granada
and Saratoga.
Granada is a gay, bright red,
pink and yellow hybrid tea.
Saratoga is a white flori-
bunda.
The All-America rose selec-
tons are determined by leading
professional horticulturists in
exacting tests.
Granada and Saratoga were
the Sind and 63rd winners since
the awards were inaugurated in
1910.
Granada is the first multi
colored hybrid tea to win the
AARS title. 1t was developed by
Robert Lindquist, who won his
first All-America award at the
age of 81 in 1854 with the flori-
bunda Lilibet. He won again in
1855 with the orchid pink n.y.
bird tea Tiffany. (Mr. Lindquist
is with Howards of Hemmet,
Hemmit, Calif.)
E. S. Borener was responsible
for Saratoga, his 10th winner.
Other All-Americas developed
by Borener-who repeatedly has
had more roses patented under
his name than anyone else in
this country-include the flori-
bundas Fashion, Vogue, White
Bouquet, Gold Cup, Ivory FASH
ion, and the hybrid teas Dia-
mond Jubilee and Katherine T.
Marshall. (Mr. Borener is with
jackson g. Perkins Co., Newark,
N. "
Saratoga was named for the
New York city of Saratoga
Springs, which this year is OBJ
serving the centennial of the
Saratoga horse race track.
Granada was named by a little
girl when it was a Seeding.
The two winners outscored
competition, in "a official test
gardens, for fragrance, vigor,
flower production, foliage, dis
ease resistance and adaptability
to all sections of the country,
judges reported.

Summer Mulch
On Garden Soils
Holds Moisture

Summer mulches are i'm
portant to the health and vigor
of the garden. Not only do
they keep the beds free of
weeds df spread thickly
enough and conserve moisture,
but they help to maintain the
humus content of the soil. In
fact, mulches spread on top of
the soil maintain a higher level
than will the same quantity
spaded into the soil in the
spring. Some mulching ma
terials, such as sawdust, sugar.
cane bagaSse, and shavings,
which are low in nitrogen need
to receive nitrogen to supply
the bacteria which attack them.
Without this additional nitro
gen the bacteria will rob the
soil and the plants will show
the deficiency. Nitrogen may be
supplied as ammonium sulfate,
nitrate of soda, cottonseed
meal, urea, cocoa bean hulls,
mixed fertilizers, etc.

Two Roses Declared
1868 AII-Americos

Granada's semi-double, clas-
sically-shaped flower averages
4 inches across. Saratoga's
double blooms are high
centered and open to 4-4h
inches across.
Saratoga is a cross between
White Bouquet, the 1857 AARS
winner, and a white seeding of
Garnette, a small greenhouse
rose distinguished for its firm
petals and long-lasting flower.
Mr.. Lindquist, who searches
for the unusual, crossed the
little-known floribunda Caval-
cade and the proven Tiffany
to bring forth Granada. Eight
thousand seedlings resulted
from the original cross pollina-
ton made seven years ago. A
great great grnadparent of
Granada is the old favorite
Talisman.
Granada and Saratoga will
be available for fall planting.

BY WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

The Washington area has
always had a wonderful spring
display from the Towering
cherries, crabapples, dogwood
and redbuds. They are widely
planted and in mass make men,
orable displays. Perhaps the
redbud is the least desirable
because Of q canker disease that
kills them about the time Of
reaching mature size. OF course,
the dogwood has its problems,
unless grown in favorable
situations.
However, there are many
other Towering trees of varying
degrees of desirability. Some
because Of their larger growth,
some because Of the summer
Towering season, and others
because Of growth habit. Most
of them do have one serious
drawback-they are not readily
available at the nearest nursery.
To mention q few with the
briefest Of comments.
EvOdia danelli and E. hu-
phensis. A small tree to IS feet,
with flowers In August and a
fruit display in the fall and
early winter. Somewhat re-
sembles the Tree of Heaven but
does not have its bad habits. A
fairly rapid grower. seeds rather
freely, and to some the wood Is
brittle. Quite tolerant Of soils.
does best in full sun but will
tolerate light shade.
KOeIreuteria panicuIata -
Golden Rain tree. A well shaped
small tree to 80 feet, with
chains of yellow blossoms in
August. The fruits are bladder
like pods which are interesting.
1t grows quickly and easily
from seed. It, too, is considered
to have weak wood, perhaps
because of its rapid growth. It
in tolerant of soils and will grow
in full sun or light shade.
The Japanese pagoda tree.
SOphOra japOnica, is a taller
growing tree-to rs feet, and
has white pea-like clusters Of
bloom in August. This tree is
much more tolerant Of city con-
ditions than many others, has
a good clean habit, although
the seed pods frequently remain
on the tree through the winter.
1t is a moderately fast grower
and deserves to be much more
widely used.
There are two Silverbells, the
Carolina and the Mountain
(Halesia carolina, H. month
coIa). The Carolina Silverbell
is a small tree-to 80 feet, the
Mountain to 80 feet. However,
their floral display in May Is
