Sturdy, erect plants, ;fi from Insects and plant disease, lant ecolors, great floriferousness, variable size to suit the gardener’s fancy or purpose—the zinnia possesses most all the qualities desired except frag- rance. For those who like largs planis d flowers, the giant forms of zinnia should. prove accentzble, while for those Who prefer daintier, smaller plants, the pompons and Tom Thumbs meet the needs. No plant could be more easily grown than the zinnia. It demands neither high fertility mor great care. The seed may be sown out-of-doors where the plants are to stand, or in boxes in ihe house or cold frame. Growth is very rapid and little affected by moderate changes in molsture or temperature, making the zinnla prosper when less Tobust species fail or simply survive. Many of the roses grown in local home gardens have been produced from cuttings and are. so to speak, on their own roots. With some varieties, of strong, vigorous habit of growth, own-rooted plants do very well, but with weaker varieties there is obviously an advan- tage in budding on more vigorous root ocks. Rose nurserymen recognize this ct and bud all their bush roses. are decided differences in opinion as to the most desirable stocks. Some results secured by the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Arlington Farm, Va. have a decided bearing on the ouestion. Seven varfeties, namely.

If the home gardener may be disposed to complain of too much rainy weather. a recollection of the drought of 1930 quickly dispel any discouraged thought. With the harvesting of the bush or snap beans, the Mexican bean beetle is turning its attention to the lima beans, which should be carefully arded to prevent their destruction. gnesium arsenate is still the most effective in- cticide for combiting the Mexican bean beetle. Use as a dust, one pound of magnesium arsenate to four pounds of hydrated lime, or as a spray, one pound of magnesium arsen to 50 gallons of water. Good control may be expected without arsenic mjury to the plants such* as would result if calelum arsenate or lead arsenate were used.
