1% » NEWROSESPORT BENG PROPAGATD Red Columbia Grown From Bush of Famous Pink Flow- er.at Greenhouses. Oue of the most remarkable and Pprobably most valuable rose sports in recent, vears, a réd Columbla, now is heing ‘propagated at the Department of Agriculture greenhouses, it was revealed vesterday. The Columbla s estimated as the Aecond most ‘popular garden rose in Washington and thousands of them have been. sold for lpea] back vards this'Spring. The flower ordinarily is a deltcdte pink on'a strong growing bugh. which is seldom out of blos- som during the growing season and the blooms are borne on long stems, which make them ideal for cutting purposes. The Columbia beds in the Potomac Park rose garden have at- tractéd very wide attention during the past year. The red Columbia came unexpect- edly at the greenhouses. One bush, which had bloomed true to form in the past, suddenly sent up a strong shoot with & very deep red blossom. This was cut off and up to date about & dozen roses have been rooted from 1t 1t is planned to propagate a large number to make sure that the new flower fs not lkely (o slip back to pink again before it is introduced to trade. Increases Christmas Supply. A red Columbia, it was explained, greatly increases the possibility of a Aependable supply of red roses for hristmas, when there is a heavy de mand for them, since the parent bush is an easy forcing rose and the lpnrr‘. is almost certain to retain the grow- | ing habits of its ancestor. ! If the red Columbia-does not revert to type during the next yvear it is con- sidered likely that it will prove the most valuable sport since the red radiance, which has become the most popuiar garden rose in America, %0 popular that bushes were practically unobtainable from Washington deal- ers this Spring, although the growers had made an unusual effort to have a large supply. The department experts are mak- ing an unusual effort this summer to produce crosses of pernetian roses with some of the better known hy brid tea varieties in the hope of get ting the peculiar color effects and fine foliage of the French roses. Thus far they have produced one vellow seedling and one pink seedling which yromise to be valuable acquisitions to the long list of greenhouse roses, but nothing can be sald definitely about them until they have been given two or three years' trial. Efforts also are being made, which thus far have fall- ed, to produce crosses between some of the hybrid teas and the hugonls or wild yellow rose of China in an ef- fort to obtaln in an everblooming variety the vigor of growth displayed by the latter.

HE rent problem in the District has been a perturbing and baf- fling puzzle for Congress and the people for a number of years—at least since the end of the war. Rent charges were growing much faster than incomes until living and paying rent became in- compatible. Legislative devices were resorted to but proved futile and unsatis- factory and now the head of a family with an average moderate income faces a grave dilemma. No one cause in particular can be blamed for this distressing situation. It is inherent in and a part of our economic order. The almost total suspension of home building operations during the war and the swarming of large numbers from the rural centers to the large cities during and since the war, created a tremendous shortage in living accommodations in the big cities. An unprecedented building boom was inevitable and so was a big jump in the demand for labor and mate- rial, the two chief elements in construc- tion. Land values reacted and also jump- ed by leaps and bounds, and while the jumping was good the owner of the old home and the speculator thought that this was as good a time as any to have their merry little jump too, and, as Roxy would say, there you are! _But What Is the Remedy? We submit what we earnestly believe to be a sound, sane and safe solution to this bafling problem. We ask you to read and consider. We are conscious of our limitations in presenting it in the form of an adver- tisement, for the average reader naturally considers such presentation as a mere sales solicitation. But, as we present a thoroughly business-like and self-respecting plan and not a benevolent scheme, we naturally can- not expect the newspapers to give us free space. We ask you to forget for the time being that this is merely an “Ad” and give it your unbiased consideration if you happen to be one of those whose financial foot suffers from the rent pinch. most strateg tion most of the other class suburbs and consid er than some of them (nearly 300 feet) is h healthful and offe. sweep of most insp tiful countrysid ably clos.

This is also RICT HEIGHTS a purchaser need have no his heautiful home will by stores of all kinds of an undeairable type him There is but one possible way to solve the rent problem——that is by producing a modern, livable and com- fortable home; as good_ or better than you now live in, that can be acquired for much less than the rent you now pay. A combination of unusual circumstances and an application of the latest and most successful bus- iness innovations make it practical for us to achieve that which every one thought was impossible. The three component elements that spell inflation in home values are (a)—COST OF LABOR AND MA- TERIAL; (b)—LAND VALUES, and (c)—SPECULATION. Extract any of these parts and you help to smash the inflation structure. By our plan we have eliminated two of these elements—HIGH LAND VAL- UES, and SPECULATION, and will offset the third—HIGH COST OF LABOR and MATERIAL, by our QUANTITY PRODUCTION and QUICK TURNOVER. We were fortunate to have acquired a vast.holding of land in one of the most accessible and picturesque sections close to city at a price unbelievably low; and instead of hogging this advantage and wasting fifteen or twenty years to market it so as to obtain the maximum value for the land by the piecemeal and slow process of selling in vogue heretofore, we will employ the most up-to-date and successful method of QUICK TURNOVER at a SMALL PROFIT. This will not only apply to the sale of the land, but we propose to con- struct homes for you, if you so choose, through our up-to-date and efficient Construction Department, arrang- ing the finances and other details, practically at cost. In other words, we propose to try in home merchandising what the chain store and the big department stores are doing in the production and distribution of provisions, wearing apparel and other comnmodities. We will simply adopt these two mystic phrases—QUANTITY PRODUCTION and QUICK TURNOVER. Are these merely catch phrases and braggadocio? Well, here is the proof. We ask you to pass it on. We offer you an up-to-date, modern six-room Calif ornia bungalow, steel construction, with spacious front and rear porches, electric lights, modern hot-air heatin g system (or hot water by speciai arrangement), mod- ern bath outfit, hot and cold water, double oak floors, kitchen range, daylight cellar, laundry tubs; built on a lot 50 by 140 feet (to a 15-foot public alley) on a sixty-foot improved boulevard with concrete side- walks, curbing, street lights, etc., for the incredible price of $5,975.00, on terms of $500.00 cash and $49.50 per month in Washington’s latest and most beautiful suburb— District Heights —Ilocated on Pennsylvania Avenue extended southeast(Marlboro Pike), less than seven miles from the Cap- itol, one of the most picturesque highways leading from the District into Maryland, reached by either bus or auto in twenty minutes. DISTRICT HEIGHTS will be opened to public inspection begin- ning July 4th (tomorrow). Refreshments will be served. Sales- men will be on the property July 4th and every day thereafter. To get to the property take bus at 8th street and Pennsylvania avenue or call at the office of the Company, 468 Louisiana ave- nue northwest, where private automobiles will be waiting for you. Autoists will proceed straight out Pennsylvania avenue east on Marlboro Pike and stop at Suitland Road, a little over two miles from the District Line. DISTRICT HEIGHTS CO. JOSEPH L.
