CHURCH ADIOINS MOUNT OF OLIVES Catholics Constructing House THE HARDY Gardening in Washington AND ITS ENVIRONS Conducted by J. W. Wellington, Garden Editor, The Star. CHRYSANTHEMUM. of Worship in Garden of Gethsemane. | JERUSALEM (#).—In the Garden of Gethsemane at the foot of the Mount of Olives, a Catholic chyrch is rising dedicated to the Heart of Jesus. The edifice’ is being built over the very grotto into which the Lord sent his disciples while he himself knelt down on a stone a short way off to say his last prayer before they came to lead him away. The cavern has now been made into the crypt, and over against the stone the altar rises. Only a few years ago the stone was freed of a lot of broken mosaic—now covered over by slabs of Bethlehem stone—among which it had been buried. Basiliea Destroyed by Persians. As early as the fourth century, in the days of King losius, a bastlica stood at this spot until, thre centuries later, it was destroyed by the Persians on their invasion of the Holy Land. Later it was rebullt by the crusaders, but the latter did not find the exact site and ®rected sh ‘sltar in front of a rock which QW -jute-into the right side wall of the ‘church.

Not until Easter Sunday did they return’ to celebrate divine service.- The new church building was com- menced immediately after the war. In 1919 the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris laid the corner stone. A committee headed by the Bishop of Toulouse began to collect funds the building operations from among Catholics throughout the world. .The costs have been estimated as $450,000. The work is now well advanced and in another three years is to be completed. Former Style Retained. In reconstruction the style of the old basilica was retained. In the in- terior, parts of the old mosaic flooring have in several places been built in, while the new mosaic work is an exact reproduction of the _both-as to pattern and coloring. the orig- inal, it depicts the instruments of tor- ture, the cross, the thorns and the rope. And the same is peated in the window that of the vaulted celling.

Hardy chrysanthemums are plants for the everyday garden. They have but few pes(s, sany one can propagate come at a season when practically every- thing else has been killed by frost or long since matured. It is by no means rare to have a few of the very latest chrysanthemum blooms still enduring on Thanksgiving day. s The ease with which chrysanthemums are increased has probably reacted against the introduction of new and better varieties. It is not unusual to neighborhood growing the same vari- |, eties, quite evidently handed . from neighbor to neighbor. The introduc- tion of new varieties would mean much in raising the general estimation of the chrysanthemum as a hardy garden flower. ~ Each Autumn the United States Department of Agriculture shows many of the pest hardy chrysanthe- chrysanthemum show. ' The following list presented in one of the prominent garden magazines by a Connecticut gardener contains some of the choicest varieties; Barbara Cumming, Git], -Yellow Normandie, .

THE SMOKE PROBLEM | ting. resistance of various species of shade trees to smoke injury resulted in the following list, arranged in order of de- scending resistance: White oak, pin oak, red oak, Norway maple, Oriental plane, black locust, elm, tulip poplar, liquidamber, gingko, silver maple, sugar maple and ash-leafed maple. Conifers were notably less resistant than decidu- ous trees, the most resistant species, the Savin juniper, being about equal to the silver maple. 1In descending order are the Savin juniper, Austrian pine, arbor- vitae, retinospora and red cedar. It is advised that better results may be ex- pected from strong, Vigorous nursery- grown stock than from tender seedlings. The smoke problem is, fortunately, not as serfous in this locality as in Pitts- burgh, but nevertheless it is an increas- ing problem here, with the raipdiy en- larging building program and the in- creasing use of the lower grades of fuel. THE LIMA BEAN I Rarely have local gardeners seen such a poor year for Lima beans as that which_has just passed. Prices have been extraordinarily high and quality equally low,. Some are inclined to place the blame on the Mexican bean beetle, but. the real cause was apparently the unfavorable weather, chiefly the heavy rains during the period of flower set- Both the pole Lima beans and the bush type seem to have been a failure this year. Perhaps in no community in the whole country is the Lima bean more popular than right here in this vicinity, because as a rule Lima beans thrive wonderfully well here and produce over a long scason. People have come to rely upon them as a staple garden crep, | Some years ago Dr. D. N.

Dr. Shoemaker also p'ices il pole Lima as a more certain producer than the bush Lima, but this year neither type has amounted to much. The Lima bean is not guite so sus- ceptible to the Mexican bean beetle as is the ordinary string bean, and since the pods are not eaten there can be no danger ' of spray residues. There is really no reason to fear that the Lima bean will not continue to hold its own in this locality as a highly important vegetable. | GARDEN ITEMS That agricultural investigators have not completely solved the control of the Me:dcan bean beetle was indicated in a recent discussion upon this insect given by Dr, John Graf, assistant chief of the Bureau of Entomology. This year much burning of foliage has resulted from the use of calcium arsenate and of magnesium arsenate. In some in- stances the burning as severe as Left!

Lead arsenate should not be used under any consid- eration. Pyrethrum soap sprays are considered very promising, and are especially adapted to the home garden, where the success of the crop rather than the immediate cost of the spray material is the principal consideration. Dr. Graf gave out a hopeful sugges- tion when he declared that the bean beetle has usually been most destruc- tive in its first one or two years in a given locality. Cleaning up the old vines at this sseason can be of no material benefit, as the principal hiber- nating quarters are in the woods and hilly country. Dr. Graf emphasized the point that any gardener expecting to grow beans, especially the common snap or string beans, had better be prepared to fight this insect the coming year, because when beetles do arrive thay are capable of destroying the bean patech in & single night. Repeated spraying or dusting is necessary because of the vast numbers. Curiously enough, the Mexican bean beetle is a member of the usually highly beneficial lady beetle family, The Mexican bean ‘New Government Park HOW TO COME: Out Rhode Island then left to Brookland bus to north [ Always built better Always sold on easier terms _Always bought at a less price beetle and the squash bug are the only | Winter injury would result.
