Help make the city beautif: in early ‘Spring by planting some of these lovely Spring flowers. No other kind of plant is so capable of returning a full measure of satisfaction for a little effort. The quality of apples offered in | -our markets Is far from ditable te | the local growers. Apparently a large propertion of the fruit was never sprayed and is consequently riddled | with worms and coated with fungus | diseases. Wormy apples don't keep | well and are a source of disappeint- | ment all the way around. TIn mest | cases as few as two sprayings at! 1he proper season would have in-. Winter rye may be still planted in tiie bare spots of the garden. This piant s one of the gardener's hest sources of fertility. Lima beans generally do very well in this vicinity, but this season evi- dently has been very unfavorable for this cholce vegetable. At no time this Bummer were lima beans {n lb- eral quantity or in moderate price on our local markets, Uranges growing outdoors in Wash. ington sounds rather dublous to most people. Yet there are two trees in Yront of the main Agricultural Build- ing which for years have borne fine | +rops of golden yellow frult. Un- | fortunately the fruit is bitter and | useless. Nevertheless, this is an ex- | fremely valuable orange species, as 1he seedlings are used in Florida and the Gulf States ws hardy roots for | lesn favored kinds, | | CLUB NOTES | livery one who owns a plot of &round or who hopes to should afflli- #te with the local horticultural club, » 1t by chance there 1s no nearby or- | sanization, should encourage the for- ruation of ons.

The Takoma Horticultural Club bulb committee, C. C. Thomas, chair- man, is just completing the strenuous task of distributing a large shipment of bulbs to members. These bulbs are purchased direct from Holland and reach the purchasers in the orig- inal packages, thus insuring uniform | quality and freedom from mixture. | At the same time a considerable sav- Ing was effected. Most important ef all, next Spring will bring an un- usually fine display of flowering bulbs in Takoma Park lawns and gardens. & s Wages and Prices Unchanged.
