Some local gardeners have had won- {derful success with paper mulch boih \for vegetables and for flowers. Today's illustration shows its use about young fruit trees. Paper muich presumably 2ids by conserving soll moisture, retain- ing warmth in the soil and by suppres- sion of weeds. It is well worth trying, although results at some of the agri- cultural experiment stations show that its effects ars somewhat erratic, de- pending on the sort of weather that happens to occur. Generally plants such s the tomato, eggplant, melon and cucumbers have responded betier to paper mulch than have the cool weather plants such as beets, cabbage and Irish potatoes. It would seem that if paper mulch has a place in American horti- culture it should be in the home garden where culture is highly intensive and space valuable. A note in a recent number of the Minnesota Horticulturist tells of a Ger- man paper mulch that is actually sprayed on to the soil in the form of a liquid cellulose. If such a scheme could be practically developed, it might do much to popularize paper mulch as the present methods of placing the paper and holding it in place have not always been satisfactory. Vast quantities of rose plants have been set out in the home gardens of this vieinity this Spring. Prices have been such as to favor increased planting and that such has been the case there is lit- tle doubt. What per cent of these plants will thrive and give their owners satisfaction? Undouotedly for one rea- son or_snother a goodly per cent will fail. One of the principal reasons for the loss of these newly planted roses is the black spot disease which kills the leaves and through their destruction so weakens the plant that it, too, succumbs. Too often we think of the plant as the wood and roots and neglect to include the leaves in the picture. But, withal, ii we stop to think, the leaves are high- ly essential. Here is made at least nine- tenths of the plant’s food. Root growth depends_ primarily on food - obtained from the leaves. Therefore the home gardener should protect the leaves of his plants, espe- cially newly sct plants which are try- ing to get established. Two remedies are available for the black spot. One, the old reliable Bordeaux mixture, made up of copper sulphate, lime and water, and the other the so-called Massey dust, nine parts of very finely divided sulphur and one part of arsenate of lead powder. Where most home gardners make their mis- take, and the writer claims no excep- tion for himself, is that they allow the black spot to get quite bad before they begin to dust ‘or spray. Once the black spot fungus enters a leaf it spreads be- neath the surface and no spray or dust can stop it. It would be wiser to start dusting the leaves as they appear in Spring and maintain a faithful program throughout the season. Dusting sul- | phur as described is now sold by many seedmen or can be made at home. One fungicide company has devised a green- | colored dust that is much less noticeable on the leaves. Dusts may be best ap- plied in early morning or evening when the air is quiet and the leaves are moist. Other reasons for the high mortality of newly planted roses are poor stock to start with and poor care after planting. For the first there is no remedy except greater care in selecting strong plants if: one has a chance to make a choice. For the second there is a remedy. Keep the ol stirred about the plants, adding rery few weeks a small handful of bone meal or of mixed feriilizer, or better yet, old rotted manure, which is generally conceded best of all. Sometimes roses are planted in shade or in competition with tree roots, neither of which con- ditions favor success. Direct sunlight, ample fertility, good soil drainage and control of the dreaded black pot will pretty nearly assure rose success. After all, the rose is not a difficult plant to grow, but like many other cultivated plants is not as sturdy as was its wild progenitors. Consider the hardy rugosa Toses. almost wild in their make-up and quite able to take care of themselves. Rose breeders will likely develop ga-den roses that possss natural resistance to black spot and other diseases. Until ! that day the aspiring rose grower has a | fight on his hands o grow roses A brief article in' the December, 1930 Rose Quarterly, published by the American Rose Society. lists the names of roses which can claim the old favor- ite Frau Karl Druschki as one of their parents.

One could not have designed & bet- ter plant for the home vegetable garden than the asparagus. It is hardy, stays year in and year out and each Spring turns in a nice crop of tender shoots to repay the owner for its care. paragus is generally grown from 1- year plants which were produced from seed by the nurseryman. The home owner can also use seed, but saves a whole year by buying plants. However, | 2-year ‘and older plants show but little gain over 1-year plants, and are less liable to live following transplanting. Asparagus is a member of the lily y, although the small, inconspicu- lous flowers would never suggest the relationship. The two sexes are borne on different plants, a fact which would in itself have no practical significance if it were not that the male plants yield considerably more edible shoots. Enough so that it would pay the home gardener to buy twice as many plants as he really needs and later discard those with female flowers. One can readily detect the latter by the absence of stamens in the flowers. Plants are relatively incxpensive so that discard- ing a few is not a costly step. One of the most important points in the raising of asparagus is the variety, as varieties diffcr greatly in their su: ceptibility to a destructive disease known as rust. Some of the new vari- ties, such as Mary Washington, are ractically free from this disease, and fi Certainly a mistake not to make use of this fact.

A mnovel system of culture for young fruit trees is shown here, in which a | covering cf strong black paper is substituted for the customary clean cultivation. | Laborious handwork is eliminated, weeds and grass are suppressed and soil | moisture and warmth are conserved.

Toots deeply enough, taking care to spread the roots horizontally as they grew in the nursery. The first year's care consists in keeping out the weeds and in repelling the beetle, which is almost certain to discover the new planting. No cutting should be made the first year and, better, none in the second season, though there is some evidence that jight cutting will do little harm. The third-year cutting may properly begin. Due perhaps to its origin on the sea shores of Europe, the &sparagus plant has remarkable re- sistance to common salt. In fact, salt has sometimes been used as a fertilizer for asparagus, but is not considered essential by modern gard:ners, who pre- fer to rely on genuine fertilizers to meet its needs. An asparagus bed once established in good condition means many years of service to its owner. No asparagus brought in long distances to supply our markets can eéven approach in quality the home-grown product cut shortly before using. Practically none of the vegetable or flowering plants commonly grown in local gardens will thrive if thell roots stand in water for any considerable length of time. There are some ex- ceptions, of course, such as water lilles, water cress and the like, and | some plants, such as Japanese iris, have | much more liking for wet roots than | | | { | zoil. cthers. Many plants, such as the com- mon iris, can stand wet roots during Winter and Spring, but need a drying out in Summer. Generally speaking, drainage is not & serious problem in local gardens. Most of our gardens are located on more O less sloping land, so that excess water flows from the surface, and most of our gardens are underlaid with a thick stratum of gravelly soil that allows the moisture to descend rapidly after it +as once passed through the clayey top Only in gardens that lie in poorly | drained depressions does the drainage 1 GARDEN ITEM ‘ of this fact may be seen in the frequent | Frau Karl Druschki | problem become acute, and unless the owner can have a drain made to carry water away to a lower level, he must modify his gardening practice to meet the situation, perhaps develop a real water garden. 1In some cases a line of tile may be placed 80 as to effect the necessary drainage.

This, of course, is not altogether desirable, but it is just one of the breaks of the garden- ing business. The very fact that plants | are susceptible to many outside influ- | ences majes them all the more inter- | esting’ to work with. | The leaves of the humble plants, such as crocus and snowdrop, are just as im- portant to their welfare as are the | leaves to the trees. Hence, if one wishes {to conserve these small bulbous. plants, | it is neccssary to spare the leaves for a while, even though the grass needs | cutting.

This will keep the canes from lashing about in the wind and thus injuring the expanding buds of the young, tender shoots. In each one of the buds there lies a young cane and blossom clusters and Jeaves, waiting literally like a Jack-in-a-box to spring forth when nature releases the fastener, which in this case is the surrounding bud scales.

Dion Willlams, president of the Marine Corps Examining Board, presided at the sessions of the board held during the past week at' corps headquarters. Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler has been requested to give a lecture before an audience at Hagerstown, Md., during| the month of Ma! In the event that Gen, Butler goes upon the retired list during the early Fall, a vacancy in the grade of major general will have thereby been created | and one of the present brigadier generals of the line of the corps will be promoted to & major generalcy, while one of the senior colonels of the line will be pro- ‘moted to the grade of brigadier general. Both vacancles may be made by selec- tion, as per law. Col. Louis M. Gulick has been tem- porarily in the city for the\past few days, stopping at 1621 Fourteenth street. Capt. H. H. Phipps, attached to Iona Island, N. Y., has also been in the city tem; rily. Phret. Lieut. Ernest E. Shaughnessey of the Nicaraguan National Guard has been in the city temporarily, stopping at apartment 508, 1750 Sixteenth street. Maj. Robert L. Denig, heretofore sta- tioned in Nicaragua, has arrived in the city and is now a patient at the Naval Hospital with a broken leg. According to high authority at corps headquarters no further increase of the force of Marines now stationed in Nic- aragua, will be made from the Quantico base outside of routine replacements due to completion of foreign tours of duty of individual members of the per- sonnel of the 2d Brigade in Nicaragua. However this does not preclude rein- forcements that could be sent in an emergency from the Marines stationed at Pishermans Point, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (U. S. Naval Station), or from the Canal Zone. Quite a few commissioned officers of the corps now on duty in Haiti who have ‘completed respectively their cur- rent_foreign shore duty will return to the United States via the U. S. S. Kit- tery, which vessel will leave Port au Prince, Haiti, approximately June 4. Among those scheduled to return to these parts are Maj. Egbert T. Lloyd, Capts. Gilder D. Jackson, Oliver P.

Thi BANK ROBBERY CLUE PICKED UP ON‘COAST Chinese Woman, Held in San Fran- cisco, Charged With Reeeiving Stolen Property. By the Assoclated Press. SAN ' FRANCISCO, April 18—With the arrest of Helan Leon, 31, alias Hilda Yip, San Francisco Chinese, on a charge of receiving stolen property and as a fugitive from justice, police an- nounced last night they had picked up the trail of a robber gang hefleved Te- &gonslble for the $100,000 hold-up of the First National Bank of Hartford, wgi-_.’,’ last year. 16 woman was arrested after she was alleged to have attempted to :ell through a brokerage house negotiabic securities said to have been among the $85,000 worth taken by three men, who slugged the Hartford bank cashier and rified the safe. They also stole $15,000 currency. Brokerage house dfficials became sus- piciops and called authorities. When the woman returned for her money she was taken into custody by police, who traced the bonds, valued by them at $10,000. Miss Leon refused to talk. Another sale of similar bonds was under investigation. The sale was made by Mrs. Helen Dorton, San Francisco, through a different brokerage house. Mrs. Dorton told authorities she made the sale for Miss Leon on the promise of a commission, which she said she did not receive. Mrs. Dorton was not held. e R o e EOUSTE 3 ), lore , While several customers were in the bank. FARM AND GAID CHICKS " White Rocks, Barred Rocks, R. I Reds and Pure Bred White = Pekin Ducklings.
