*REAL ESTATE. T THE HOLME GARDENER Practical and Seasonal Hints fnr ll:e Amateur for Bemhfymg Surroundings ‘of the Home. | BULB PLA G ' Now that the bulb planting season has arrived, information concerning methods and practices are in order. One of the first questions that besets th» beginner's mind is depth of plant- ing. This is well answered by to- tllustration, taken from Depart- ment of Agriculture Bulletin No. 797, vritten by Dr. David Griffiths, bulb socolalist. It will be noted that in general the | quite closely | ¢epth of . plafting is correlated with size, the large, stronger ‘plants being better able to force their vay up from greater depths. The na- ture of the soil has an important bear- ing cn planting. In stiff clays, such as occur generally about Washington, one should adhere quite closely to the chart, but in sandy, loose soil the depth may be increased with safety and usually with good results. Sofl for bulb planting should be pre- ared much as for any flower garden, hat is, spaded and fertilized. It is true that the bulbs contain much reserve food. sufficient to carry the plant :tyough blooming, but it also is true that application of fertilizer will give larger blooms with stouter stems. Just what fertilizer is best is & question as yet unanswered by experimental evi- dence. Bone meal is quite commonly used and a liberal application of ordi- nary mixed fertilizer is also good. The fertilizer may be worked into th'.‘ ‘whole mass of soil betore planting or may be placed beneath the bulbs. In this latter case the fertilizer must be cov- ered with an inch or two of soil to keep it away from the bulb itself. ‘With crocus bulbs set in the lawn, it is ible to lift out a piece of sod, fe the soil beneath, set the bulb or bulbs, and replace the sod. Or the erocus bulbs may simply be inserted in Holes made with a narrow-bladed trowel or dibble. However the planting is done, it matters not so greatly, but it does matter to complete planting as soon as possible now.

Another point regarding black spot brought out is its effect on Winter hardiness. Plants defoliated in Summer put forth a new crop of leaves in Autumn, leaving the growth soft and unripened to meet Winter's vicissitudes. Too, the plant is weak- ened by loss of leaves and is unable to store up the reserves which in turn form sugars to aid in resisting freezing. It is no wonder, therefore, that bllck spot is such a vital problem in rose growing and oné that deserves first- hand consideration by every rose grower. For those who object to the yellow color of the Massey dust, Dr. Massey speaks of a green colored product de- veloped by a commercial firm. This new material has the effectiveness of the regular material without the dis- agreeable feature. Abelia is one of the most beautiful shrubs grown in this vicinif ‘This species has been in bloom now for two or three months. It is true that the flowers are quite small and inconspicu- ous, but make up in number what they lack in size. And ln addition the red- dish-green foliage is highly attractive.

Local gardeners may wunl themselves fortunate in having such an extended gardening season. Plants such as geraniums and be- gonias, which are intended for holding over Winter, will have to be protected from early frosts. It is not too late to take cuttings, but these will have to be rooted indoors. A, better plan is to llfl old plants and reset them in_ pots, them back severely.

Although it is late, grass seed may be sown with chance of good success. The drawback to late planting is the dan that the young grass plants may not be- come sufficiently rooted to resist haev- ing from Winter freezing and thawing. In the vegetable garden, the cold sea- son' crops, such as kale, cabbage, cauli- flower, beets and parsnips, are coming into their own. In fact, after the first frosts the squash, tomatoes, sweet corn and beans will disappear altogether. Some vegetables, such as parsnips and kale, are much more edible after they have been exposed to freezing weather. ‘There is an accumulation ‘of sugars which greatly improves quality.

Lipscomb Company for the Estates. Yesterday's Charm for the Homes of Today The Colonial type of home was especially designed and built to meet the requirements of Early American home owners. It was conceived in the minds of a people famous for their hospitality, love of comfort, sound family standards and sturdy ideals of liv- ing. It was designed to grace the spacious landed estates of Early America—to express in architecture the unlimited freedom sug- gested by broad, open vistas of rolling country—just as the above pictured Early American home with its cozy verandas expresses —and fits—the gentle rolling landscape of Rock Creek Park Estates. Furnished by W. & J. Sloane as.a Real Treat for Lovers of the Antique Perhaps this Early American home exhibits the most completely perfect Colonial interior that it has ever been your pleasure to inspect. Each room and corridoris - furnished entirely in the Early American manner —not a single article of . 7 furniture or ornament is “out of key.” W. & J. Sloane—by special ar- rangement with the own- ers—have spared no pains in mak- ing each interior detail accurate, and the effect is truly Early Amer- ican throughout. Appropriate Surroundings Add Atmosphere to This Home This Early American home fronts on Rock Creek Park with its stately trees and meandering stream but a few feet away—a view as commanding as any chosen by Colonial Es- tate owners. Spacious home sites stretch luxuris ously through the trees and over the hill crest— nothing is in evidence to spoil the delightful antig- uity of this Colonial home which man has endowed and nature sur- rounded with the finer things of life.
