MERCHANTS & MINERS Transportation € l | THE HOME GARDENER Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for Bnmnl'vmg Surroundings of the Home. Most every gardener is more ar less acquainted with the magnificent china asters, but fewer know tre new varietles of emall flowered asters which have | '®"| been more recently gleaned from the wild by selection and hybridization. The parental forms. usually in blue shades, are in many localities a feature of the natural landscape from now until frost. In the hands of the skilled flower grower the group has been earefully molded and reworked so that there are now many colors. including white, light pink, rosy crimson, lavender and | shades of blue. Most of the larger | nursery and séed firms offer these superb asters in named varleties. One must secure plants rather than seed | | because of the tendency for the colors | to break up in the seedlings. Once, a variety is obtained, the plants may be divided every few years %0 that in time a liberal stock is pos- sible. One writer states that these asters are disappointing as cut flowers, since with few exceptions the blooms | do net remdin open under artificial | light. Howéver this may be there | have been some wonderful exhibits of | of severce frosts occurs, and, indeed, the | garden club exhibits. Among desirable varieties are Lil| Fardell and Nova anglise rosea. both pink; Chastity, pure white; Climax, light' blue; Glory of Colwall, ageratum | blue; St. Egwin, lNght pink; Feltham | Blue and Nancy Ballard, crimson | In order to secure high-grade | blooms, the plants need liberal feeding and thinning out of the new growth in Spring #o that the plant may de- vote its energy to & few strong shoots In this respéct these asters are not so {ar different from many other plants including the chrysanthemum. which f left alone, soon chokes itself out. t I CHRYSANTHEMUMS o phate js used Prof. Alex Laurle of the Ohio State presents some interesting data in the July-August Bimonthly Bulletin of the Ohio Agricultural Ex- periment, Station on if¢ effecis on the chrysanthemum of _abbreviating the length of day.

This (roun pop\xllrly known as the legumes, several sub groups, the me kr:nerh the senna and the pe | families. Of these, horticulturists are interested chiefly in the pesa family. In | species belonging to the pea family | the flowers are of one general type, as in the sweet pea and garden bean. The | pea_family is intrineically valuable lo | gardeners, supplying several importan | flowers and vegetables, but here xlvne its usefulness does not cease, for on | the roots of legumes there live certain | soil bacteria which possess the capacity of drawing nitrogen from the vast air supply. For a time the bacteria prob- ably are harmful to the legume host, but shortly offset this injury by ren- dering nitrogen available to the host plant. Who has not seen wild sweet <clover flourish on & gravel slope, where nothing else appears to be able to take hold? "Ths sweet clover is' fed, in part, by nitrogen rendered available by it nodule-forming bacteria. The sweet clover is a wonderful plant for soil im- rovement.
