12 BLOGS OF ORENT | GROWWELLINU.S Oriental Bulb, With Others From East, Thrives With Care. BY THE GARDENER. Glory-of-the-snow is a Spring-flower- ing bulb which accompanies the snow- drop, squill and crocus in March and early April, and, with the latter two, {furriishes garden color for those months. The variety gigantea is one of the many forms of chionodoxa luciliae from the mountains of Asia Minor and Crete. ‘The variety differs from the species E;lnclpany in the number of flowers rne on a single scape, having usually two or rarely three, while C. luciliae has five or more. It also differs in the color and larger size of the flowers. Introduced in England in 1887. . ‘This plant was introduced into Eng- lish gardens from Smyrna in 1887. Bulps were collected in the mountains abore Alah Chir (the ancient Phila- @®phie} by Edward Whittall and dis- Sributed in England. Tt is quite hardly and its blooms appear uniformly a glistening carpet of light blue. The bulb is found far below the sur- face, where the plant has been long es- tabllshed, leaving & nearly colorless portion of the scape and leaves under- ground. Unlike the Siberian squill, which has nodding flowers, ‘the large-flowered glnr;-ui-me-smw opens its flowers up- ward. ‘The bulbs should be planted about three inches deep and two or three inches apart. They flourish in any fer- tile soil. and are suitable for use in grassy places. Like many other Spring bulbs, they improve with succeeding seasons until the sixth or seventh, when it may be necessary to renew them. Seeds are formed freely, and may be used to propagate new plants. Toad-Lily & Fall Flower. The toad-lily is a rare Fall flower. Hooker, in describing this species, at- tributed its rediscovery to Mr. For- tune, whe sent it from Japan to Eng- lish nurserymen in 1863. Later botan- ists kave found it to be a rather com- mon, flower in Japanese woods. Re- 1ated species have been found in China, Korea and Formosa. Tried in a Cambridge, Mass.garden in 1890, it proved hardy. G. W. Oliver, the distinguished horticulturist, found the protracted drought of the vicinity of Washington, D. C., were unfavorable to a plant which matures and flowers so late in the season. By November 1, when the flowers are at their best, the leaves may be considerably browned. ‘The curious perianth and stamen and style arrangement attracted atten- tion. The brown or purple spotted ap- pearance suggests the common name. ‘The late blooming period, which corre- sponds with that of the Tartarian aster, the many-splked knotweed and the American witch-hazel, constitutes an- other point in its favor. Saxifrages for the Rock Garden. The thick-leaved saxifrages, com-| prising some half-dozen species and several varieties, are some of our best rock garden plants. All of the species serve the same purpose. Their differ-| ences are not very well marked, but the Rajah and Strachey varieties have more attractive, cleaner and healthier leaves. Their flowering scapes when mature stand well above the ground, while some other sorts remain hidden among the leaves. Propagation of these plants is best effected by division of the root stocks. As border subjects they present bold foliage effects. but do not bloom so profusely as when grown in open rock crevices or pockets in the rockery. They are hardy and need very little protection in Winter. The follage will | not stand a heavy protective covering in early Spring, as it is susceptible to burning at that time. Bellflower From Far East. As early as 1775 a great Asiatic bell- flower was grown in the Botanic Gar- den at Vienna from seeds sent to Jacquin from Siberia. He described it as Companula grandifiora. A few years later similar plants were introduced into England from Japan. Various forms, such as autumnalis, chinensis and sinesis, were sent in from Korea, China. Japan, Manchuria and Siberia. They are now considered to be forms of the same specles. In 1343 Fortune introduced into England a duplex owever dorm, which is the onne most frequently figured in horticultural publications. Maries col- Jected a dwarf, large-flowered form for Veitch's nursery, and this, known as veriety Mariesi, is now in cultivation. Some of the other forms are of horti- cultural origin, while others appear to be geographical varieties. :l'he Jap- anese call platycodon “kikio. The Japanese bellfiower and its va- rieties are most satisfactory garden erennials. Bushy, hardy plants which g!ocm freely in Summer and early Fall, they form a permanent feature of the hardy garden. Flowers Are of Firm Texture. The flowers are large, blue or white, of a firm texture and strongly veined. Especially interesting is the corolla be- fore the five lobes separate to destroy the balloon-like bud. The flowers are large, blue or white, of a firm texture and strongly veined. Especially interesting is the corolla be- fore the five lobes separate to destroy the balloon-like bud. The best method of propagation is by means of seeds sown in the green- house or hotbed. The seeds germinate readily, and if sown too thickly the seedings are liable to damp off from crowding. Division of the crowns is not readily effected as the root-system 1s cumbersome, fleshy and brittle. Another perennial which should be grown more is the Japonese Bugbane. This plant has been cultivated for some time. It is strong-growing pe- rennial, thriving in full sun or partial shade. The foliage is attractive during the Summer, and the graceful spikes of flowers come in September or October. Tt is propagated by division of the root in Fall or Spring. MURDER OF CAPTIVES DENIED BY PARAGUAY Washington Given Categorical Refutation of Bolivian Accusations. By the Associated Press. Bolivian charges that two of their captured soldiers were murdered last December in border hostilities in the Chaco Boreal were officially denied yes- terday by the Paraguayan government. A categorical refutation, sent to Washington from Asuncion, was pre- sented to Brig. Gen. frank R. McCoy, chairman of the Paraguay-Bolivia Com- mission of Inquiry and Concilliation, by the Paraguayan members of the com- missions, Dr. mrcl%ue Bordenave and Dr. Francisco C. Chaves. I The communication characterized the Bolivian charge as controversial, point- ing out that it was founded on reports of Bolivian soldiers who were “inter- ested parties.” One Button for 51 Years.
