I CHERRY CULTURE ] With cherries beginning to show color on some of the early varietics, interest in this superb fruit begins to awaken not only in the minds of the home gardene: who might have space for a tree or two, but also in the minds n(’ his featnered friends, the birds. Just| why there are relatively so few cherry | trees in this locality is difficult to ex-, plain because there is sufficient evidence that trees of both the sour and sweet varieties thrive quite well when once established. Sweet cherry growing has | certain difficulties that perhaps have | proved obstacles to success. In the first | place, the young trees are rather dif-| ficult to get established. The usual nursery tree is two years old from bud and undoubtedly better success would result, with younger trees that could withstand transplanting better. Most | trees are set out in late Spring and | enter the Summer with insufficient time to develop an adequate new root system. Young trees set in late Fall or very| early Spring would be much more likely | to survive and develop vigorously. Sweet | cherries offer a second problem in that | practically all varieties are unable to pollinate themselves satisfactorily. Hence an isolated single tree or two or more trees of a single variety may blossom and set no fruit, even though the tree is healthy, well nourished and no frost | has occurred during blooming. Obvious- 1y, it is desirable to plant two varieties of sweet cherry unless neighbors have trecs. The sour cherry is, fortunately, free of this weakness, that is, the im- portant varieties, Montmorency. Early Richmond and English Morello, are self fruitful and may be planted singly. Sour _cherries would _pollinate swe varieties except that they do not blos- som concurrently. The combination of sweet cherries, Napoleon, Lambert and Bing, has proved unfruitful and any one of these should have a companion tree other than one of those named. Ons of the most disconcerting prob- lems in cherry culture is the control of birds—robins, catbirds and the like— which look upon the cherry crop as their own. One is forced to harvest the fruit while partly ripe or simply cover the tres with coarse cheesecloth, the latter task being costly and difficult and often out of the question. Cher- ries reach maximum quality right on the tree, gaining in sugar and flavor as long as attached, and hence one dislikes to gather the fruit when partly colored and relatively inferior. Per- haps if more gardeners would grow cherries the problem would be partly solved by producing fruit enough for both birds and people.

This applies chiefly to old clumps that are beginning to crowd themselves. come re-established and reach good condition for flowering again next Spring. It is not advisable to separate clumps into the greatest possible num- ber of divisions if one has next year's flower performance in mind, but rather to make rather large units consisting of three or more crowns. Division of perennials gives the gar- dener a chance to replenish ‘the sofl with nutrients and thus give the new units a chance to root strongly. As & result one may expect larger and better blooms than is possible under the crowded and exhausted conditions which usually surround old clumps. Under droughty conditions such as now_exist it will be well to water the new plants very thoroughly after resetting. Peonies on the other hand, should not be divided until Autumn because of their habit of growing vigorously throughout the Sum- mer and resting during the Autumn. I COLORING TOMATOES Perhaps some gardencrs may have read of the process of artificially has- tening the coloring of tomatoes _and citrus fruits, with_ethylene gas. From work reported by the National Canners' Association, tomatoes showing red color failed to ripen any faster with gas than without. Only those tomatoes in the green-white stage of maturity | responded to gas and, smce such fruit has not attained full quality, it is evi- dent that gassing of tomatoes has no promise as a helpful process for the home gardener. The highest quality tomatoes are those ripened to a full red right on the vine. LILIES FROM SEED The following information, released by the press service of the Department FARM AND GARDEN.

The most impor- | tant matter, says Dr. David Griffiths, bulb specialist of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, ‘is to know how long it takes the seed to come up. By this is meant, not the actual num- | ber of days required for germination to | take place, for that will vary with the | temperature. The question is much deeper than this. The seed of some lilies has the habit, under some cir- | cumstances at least, of waiting until the second year before top growth takes | place. Often germination takes place with no growth above the surface.’ “Thus the gardener would need pa- | tience to wait until the second year before giving up his seed bed as a .~ There is reason to expect a p finally if the seed is sqwn under favorable conditions, for Dr. Griffiths | has found that with'few exceptions the |1l seeds are fertile and grow readily. Considerable differences appear in the time elapsing between the planting or propagation of the lilies and the sea- | son of flowering. Some varieties flower | the second year under favorable condi- tions Some go three or four years without flowering. Usually the plants do not reach maturity and their max- | imum " floral display until from four | to six years of age. | “For the private gardener the natural | division of the bulb at maturity is the | easiest method of reproduction, Dr. Griffiths says. In areas. where a lily varlety is hardy they may be left in the | ground and lifted and divided at inter- | vals of four or five years.” LAWN FERTILIZER The following hint on care of the lawn was released recently by the press service of the Department of Agricul- | ture and is well worth consideration by those who may not be satisfied with the | way their lawn grass is growing: | “For many years bone meal has been used quite generally as a fertilizer Tor | established lawns, but experiments con- | ducted by the United States Department | of Agriculture have shown that a mix- | ture of three parts of cottonseed meal land one part of ammonium sulphate | gives much better results. This ferti- | lizer should be applied in Spring and | early Fall at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds for 1,000 square feet, | GARDEN ITEMS | The ideal time to prune the ram- | pant climbing roses, such as Thousand | Beauties, Dorothy Perkins and Ex- | celsa, is after blooming has ceased. At this stage vigorous young canes | push up from the roots and will quick- |ly replace the old branches. How- | ever, ‘most of the ramblers are well | fortified with thorns and one does | well to have a heavy pair of old glov | and well protected arms when undes taking the task. Varieties such as Paul's Scarlet Climber, which is really a semi-climber and a rather slow ning out of some of the older flower- | ing shoots. Any one. interested in the | pruning of the rose would do well to end to the Department of Agriculture for a copy of Farmer’ Bulletin No. 750, | “Roses 'for the Home,” written by the well known gardener, F. L. Mulford. Setting out little annual and peren- nial plants in dry soil is quite unwise, rovided one is not prepared to water he soil thoroughly afterward. All in all, this has not been an easy Spring for the gardener. Drought and un- seasonable temperatures have been un- usually conspicuous. Yet old-estab- lished plants have as yet suffered but | little and have yielded some splendid rops of blooms. Plenty of good flower sced is lost | by simply covering too deeply with | s0il. In the greenhouses many of the fine seeded species are simply covered with a little sand or barely pressed into the surface. Too often in the garden seeds are covered rather deeply in an attempt to bring them in con- tact with the moist soil. A sprinkling of leaf mold or pest moss will hold the dampness and help some of the | small sesded species to germ'nate. THE GARDEN CLUBS Holding ‘what is likely the last of the | local Spring floral events, the Hyatts- ville Horticultural Society staged a very successful show on Thursday and Friday of last week at the First Na- | tional Bank, where were seen displays | of beautiful roses, peonies gnd other | Spring flowers. _Alfred Bolglano, chair- - HARDY ORIENTAL POPPY SPECIAL SALE APRICOT QUEEN-_Apricot color.

Mr. Cross conducted the group on a tour of the rose garden. By the way note books were constantly used the group must have received valuable information as wel: as inspiration. Mrs. Benjamin E. Smith is chairman of the section. The Potomac Palisades Garden Club Spring flower show brought forth more | than 50 exhibitors, with a splendid ar- ray of iris, peonies, roses, popples, pot- ted plants and shrubs. Of special in- terest was a miniature garden, prepared by Mrs. Benjamin Reynolds, showing how to arrange correctly the back yard plantings. A pleasing feature of the show was the enthusiastic participation | of the younger folk, the children cap-| turing several of the choice awards. Ed- win C. Powell, president of the Takoma Horticultural Club, officiated as judge of the show. The Potomac Palisades Club is al- ready at work.on its Autumn flowes show, making arrangements by which its members may purchase gladiolus bulbs at very reasonable prices. Three varieties, Dr. J. H. Neeley, Le Marechal Foch and Opalescent, have been se- lected because of their beauty and in- expensiveness to form the nucleus of a friendly competitive exhibit. The lawn and grounds contest sponsored by the club is rapidly shaping up. Already a fine first prize in the shape of a beau- tiful stone lawn berich is in view. The Takoma Horticultural Club rose show, held May 27 and 28 at the local branch library, was in every way a suc- cess. The flowers were unmsually good despite gloomy predictions. The basket display was a feature and proved the central attraction. The climbing roses were much in_evidence, notaoly Dr. W. Van Fleet, Mary Wallace and Paul's Scarlet, flesh pink, rose pink and deep scarlet, respectively. Yellow roses were s numerous than usual, a fact ex- plained in part by the somewhat lesser degree of hardiness of most of the vel- low varietiés and an unfavorable Win- ter. B. Y. Morrison of the Department of Agriculture was judge of the show. The Somerset School was the scene of a brilliant floral display on Saturday and Sunday, May 31 and June 1, when the Montgomery Suburban Garden Club staged its second Spring sho Every conceivable outdoor flower was present, from the humble pansy to the gorgeous show peony. One could not help being carried away with the peonies, present in great number and variety, due to the fact that ‘the American Peony Society had selected this exhibition as its re- gional show. An apparently perfect bloom of Therese, soft pink in color, gained the distinction of being the finest peony in the show, but that it o indicated in a new seedling possessing fine substance and attractive pink color exhibited by Dr. H. R. Watkins of Som- erset. One Japanese peony, Nippon Beauty, had the unique distinction of being the highest-priced aristocrat in the show, with roots selling at $100 aplece. Fortunately, there are many beautiful varieties at reasonable prices. :),:"(Ol:m g:ony {’alsncllers declared this to e finest display of peonies ever staged in this locality. e Although the peonies could not help but be the center of attraction, there were many other beautiful features, in- cluding a miniature rock garden, to be described later in this column, which contained more than 50 species of ‘plants. Two climbing roses—Bloomfield Culmination, pink, and Emily Gray, pure yellow—were extremely attractive, and the many different species of peren- nials, such as long-spurred columbines and Alpine asters, were charming, all uniting to make the show very inter- sting and worth while. The Montgomery Suburban Garden Club met Friday evening in regular session, with F. L. Mulford, landscape gardener of the Department of Agricul- re, as guest speaker on the subject of ‘Landscaping the Home Place.” The Rockville Garden Club met Pri- day, May 23, at the home of Mrs. George Ninas of Galthersburg, with Mrs. John P. Engle as assisting hostess. M George Hane presided at the busi- { ness meeting, which included a round- table discussion of the control of gar- den pests and diseases, followed by an interesting account by Mrs. Leonard Nicholson of the tour of the Virginia gardens. According to the usual cus- tom, many of the members brought flowers for displa; GIRL SCOUTS ‘Two hundred and five Girl Scouts and 20 leaders, under the supervision of Miss Marion L. Barrett, field captain, helped to place flowers on the soldiers’ graves at Arlington Memorial Cemetery on Memorial day. The following groups are this week end camping at Fort Foote: Troop 9, Miss Elizabeth Johnson, captain; Troop 12, Miss Lurena Perrine, captain; Troop 28, Miss Marion Stevens, captain, and the members of the leaders' training course. District chairmen and others inter- ested in the Summer program will meet at Girl Scout headquarters tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock to discuss plans for their district. Tentative plans for the program to be carried on at headquarters, under the direction of Miss Lois Hall, field cap- tain, include pioneering, craftswork, dramatics and singing. Detailed an- nouncements will be mailed to the cap- tains this week, A new troop has been organized at the Congress Heights School. Miss Helen Masson, teacher at the school, made the organization of Troop 20 pos® sible. Forty girls from the three Hyattsville troops, Nos. 55, 73 and 74, spent last week end at Fort Foot with their cap- tains, Mrs. J. D. Johnstone, Miss Mar- garet Wolfe and Miss Haru Matsudaira. Troop 43 has recently received a let- ter from Dr. Christine Essenburg of the American School for Girls in Damas- cus, Syria. On her recent visit to Open House, in February, the troop heard her tell of her work and sent her, for her girls, the Girl Scout song and game books, as well as a subscription to the American Girl. Now they intend to send a new fiag for the school's use. Last Tuesddy the girls of Troop 40. Mrs. E. F. Erk, captain, had a food sale.

The lo-| cal Engineers will be introduced to the| work of making their own camp, an experience which has been lacking dur- ing the past several years, when they| have gone into ready-made camps or| barracks. | They have been assigned a parcel ot‘ ground at Fort Humphreys between the main gate at the Richmond-Washing-| ton highway and the gate to the post| reserve list of the Headquarters Detach- | proper, and the officers have not only laid out a general plan for the camp but have prepared detailed drawings| for the construction of temporary struc- | tures, such as mess shacks, shower!| baths and other camp necessities. The troops, of course, will occupy tents, and | the company streets have been ar-| ranged. The men will have a chance| to use their entrenching tools soon | after they arrive at the Virginia post by digging drainage ditches around | their canvas homes, so that during rainy weather—and there are always| two or three days in every camp—they will have a dgy spot in which to live.

John Jacob Astor Camp at its meeting Mon- day night in Stanley Hall, States Soldiers’ Home: loway, Company D, 10th United States A change has been made in Army Regulations 135-10, which definitely as- signs responsibility to the Reserve regi mental commander and makes him a commander in fact as well as in name. with general principles concerning the Organized Reserves prescribed that in regard to the duties of officers of the Regular Army assigned to Reserve regi- ments, known as unit instructors, they weuld “act for the regimental com- mander after consultation with him where practicable.” In brief, the effect of this regulation made the unit in- structor responsible for the develop- ment of the organization, the prepara- tion and execution of training programs, including the correspondence _school, and plans. Under the new regulations the Regu- lar Army instructors assigned to the Reserye regiments will give, by advice and assistance, the fullest aid in the the preparation of mobilization { theoretical instruction and training of the organizations to which they are assigned. In the performance of this duty, however, the regulations have not lost sight of the fact that upon each Reserve commander devolves the full responsibility for the instruction and training of his command. ‘The chief reason for this change in the regulations is to make the Reserve unit self-sustaining from an instruc- tional viewpoint. The change will re- quire each organization commander to actually exercise the command of his unit, and will result in the individual trainiing of other Reserve officers being such as to qualify them to serve as in- structors. One of the best opportunities for such instruction and training lies in the conduct of the citizens' military training_camps by Reserve organiza- tions. The first half of the 14-day training camps of District Reserve offi- cers will be devoted to their instruction and training, while the second week will be devoted to their actual com- mand of the C. M. T. C. camps. The following second lieutenants of Engineer Reserve, all residents of the District of Columbia, are assigned to the 343d Engineer General Service Regi- ment: William L.
