THE HOME GARDENER The gladiolus has become exceedingly popular in recent years and very right- fully so because it is truly one of the Dest, if not the one best, flower for the Summer garden. Culture is so simple that any one can succeed under ordinary conditions; the flowers are wonderfully beautiful and attractive and occur in so many colors and forms that the most fastidious may suit his fancy. By timing plantings judiciously flowers may be had from July to frost, although Midsummer is really gladiolus time. The gladiolus family is rich in species. Balley, in his cyclopedia of horticulture, states that there are 160 or more, of which about 100 are in South Africa. ‘The South African species have sup- HOTEL STANLE or running water in all rooms.

America, that is Canada and the United States, has led the world in the im- provement of the gladiolus. Literally hundreds of new varieties are Dl’oduced each year, for the most part to fall by the wayside, but occasionally a really superior variety is forthcoming. Perhaps the best way to grow the flower is in garden style, as shown in | today's picture. The gladiolus looks best and thrives best in row plantings. The plants tend to sup- port one another and more or less to shade the soil when thus planted and if supports are needed these may be more easily provided. The gladiolus is easily stored during | Winter, being much tlsl{r to handle than the dahlia in this réspect. With | favorable weather the natural increase of bulbs or corms is quite rapid, so that one can quickly build up a good sized stock from a small start. If the gardener saves the little bulblets that form about the base of the larger corms, increase may be greatly speeded up. GARDEN SEED ] The following item released by the Department, of Agriculture press service presents an interesting account con- cerning the sources of seed for Ameri- can gardens. It is a far cry from the Colonial days, when the gardener was forced to save his own seed or go with- out, and no home gardener could wish those good old days back again. “When you open a packet of garden seed in the Spring, do you have any jidea where the seed came from and RESORTS.

W. WELLINGTON. who grew it? The stock in any whole- sale seed house is likely to represent an assembly of items from many parts of the United States and from foreign countries as well, says the United States Department of Agriculture. “Temperature, humidity, soil and water supply naturally have an im- portant effect on the development of the seed crop. Some plants require specialized skill and experience in the management of the seeding plants. In other cases a plentiful supply of cheap labor determines.the production area. | Transportation expense, particularly if it is high, may favor seed production in a certain area. Plant pests and crop diseases may play an important part in ending seed production in one area and_ stimulating it in another. “Of the common garden seeds, the different varieties of peas form the most important single item. Since 1860 pro- | duction has moved Westward from New York to Idaho, Montana and California. Irrigation is an aid to pea-seed growers, but the shift has come principally be- cause growing peas for canning and trucking is usually more profitable than | growing for seed, and this has led the | pea-growing sections to depend for seed on areas where the canning and truck- ing business is unimportant. “Similar factors have influenced the Westward march of bean-seed growing. Nebraska is a principal producer of sweet corn seed. Rocky Ford, Colo,, is the most important production area for muskmelon and cucumber seed. Colo- | rado also produces watermelon seed, as do Florida and Texas. A large part of | the squash and pumpkin seed aomu‘ from the Nebraska. “Seed of the commonest kitchen gar- den vegetables, radish and lettuce, comes almost entirely from California, as does the bulk of the American pro- duction of onion and turnip seed. Some turnip seed comes from abroad when prices are right, and most of the Ber- muda onion seed comes from the Can- plains of Kansas and “Denmark supplies most of our cauli- flower seed and considerable cabbage seed, and foreign supplies of beet, spin- | | ach, Summer radish, celery and carrot | are in sharp and often successful com- petition with the American supply.” VARIABLE TOMATO Although the general impression that the word tomato conveys to the average person’s mind is that of a large red globular fruit, this is by no means the complete story. Beginning with cur- rant tomato, whose fruits average less than one-half inch in diameter and are borne on stems like currants, the di- verse tomato family contains cherry, pear, plum and peach like forms in | both red and yellow colors and pink, { red and yellow variations of the com- | mon garden form. So different are these several tomatoes that botanists | finding them for the first time might very easily describe them as distinct species. Some of these tomatoes are very ornamental and were in fact used by the early colonists in the flower gar- den as decorative plants long before they were eaten. The tomato was orig- inally believed to be harmful, but is now accepted universally as one of our most important vegetables. ‘This year has been decidedly unfa- vorable to the tomato as the succulent foliage and fruits demand large quan- tities of water. As a result many t matoes are ripening with black bl which condition renders them worthless. This blackening is not | a disease, in the sense of being caused | by any fungus or bacterium, but is as- | soclated with an unbalanced nutritive | condition within the’ plant. It is not | restricted to dry periods, but may ap- pear to some extent under apparently favorable conditions. Hct weather in itself would prove no handicap to the tomato, since this vegetable is essen- tially a hot-weather plant and would thrive under present temperature were there an abundance of water in the soil. One of the garden trade papers con- den, designated as a clock garden, laid out in the form of a clock face, with the 12 hours represented by 12 different species, the flowers of which open rather consistently at the several hours of the day. Beginning at 6 in the morning, there is hawkweed, Venus’ looking glass, corn marigold, cloverwort, mountain dan: lion, fig marigold, car- | nation, pyrethrum, red hawkweed, lady | of the night and, at 5 pm. catchfly, | with no suggestion given for 6 p.m. The | bed has & border of small bedding | | plants. Needless to say, such a plant- ing should vrove very attractive, even though its actual value as a timepiece might be expected to be rather limited. | The difficulty in establishing such a garden would be in obtaining seed of the correct species and in growing the | young plants. This should prove, how- ever, no impossible task for the patient home gardener. GARDEN ITEMS Quality in cantaloupes appears to be‘ a highly elusive character, much more | s0 than in tree fruits. What a blessing servation.

'rhu must be a poor year senenny the combined heat and rought probably forcing an early un- satisfactory maturity. Common salt is not often considered & fertilizer, yet has given gooc results in New Jersey with asparagus whnen used in moderate amounts. The asparagus is presumably a native of European sea shores and probably in its long period of existence built up a capacity for an unusually high utilization of sait. Some suggestion has been made that salt renders some other elements more avail- able to the plant. Obviously this is no time for experimenting with salt on any plant. The gardener has a fine opportunity this season to observe the drought re- sisting qualities of the various plants grown i his garden. In general the more_tropical the nature of the plant the better it has withstood the un- favorable environment. In the vege- table garden the sweet potato is a good example of a resistant plant. Fortu- nately conditions such as now exist may never occur again in present lifetimes. If drought was a regular occurrence ‘water supplies adequate to provide irri- gation would be logical development. If one were to propound the question concerning the most importint sub- stance in plant srowing, every suburban gardener might be expected to answer water, and quite rightfully so. Most living plants, especially annuals, are normally composed largely of water. Water serves as a medium for conduct- ing the soil nutrients to the plant and for cooling the plant by evaporation from the leaves. The whole process of growth is practically stopped in the absence of adequate moisture. The trumpet vine or tumpet creeper, with its showy orange-red blooms, may now be seen along the fence rows and in neglected fields of nearby Maryland and Virginia. This plant is often brought into cultivation and is highly effective because of its strong climbing habits for covering stone walls. Ac- cording to Bailey’s Cyclopedia, there are scarlet and yellow flowered varia: | tions of this species, but the plants ob- served in the wild appear to be uni formly of the orange-red type. For a long period the plant was designated by the botanical name of Bignonia radi- cans, but is designated by Bailey under the less distinctive name Campsis radi- cans.
