Deeatur 2132, * [ SOV THE SUNDAY STAR,” WASHINGTON, THE HOME GARDENER D. Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for Beautifying Surroundings of the Home. ' FERTILIZING Applications of considerable ‘L nti- ties of commercial fertilizer at this sea- son may actually have harmful rather than beneficial effects. This may sound rather dubious, but when one considers that at this season plants of a perennial nature are maturing their wood to with- stand Winter's trials, the statement in regard to fertilizer does not sound so irrational. Fertilizer containing nitro- gen in any considerable quantity tends to promote new growth, which in turn uses the starches and sugars and other reserves that the plants have been stor- ing. Just how these reserve foods are tled up with the increased hardiness is not exactly known, but analyses have shown that the hardier plants contain | Jarger quantities of such materials. ‘Another point in Autumn fertilizing is that of economy. Nitrogen in avail- able forms such as nitrate leaches rap- idly into the subsoil and is lost to the plant. Right here is one of the impor- tant functions of cover crops such as rye. They take up this available nitro- gen and hold it until such time as the crop is plowed or spaded under next Spring. = With _decomposition of the cover crop the nitrogen is released again when needed. Fhere are éxceptions With such plants as vegetables which are to mature this Autumn. Kale, cabbage, beets, cauli- flower and the like need fertilizer as much at this time of vear as in the Spring. This is alsotrue with dahlias, i cosmos, _chrysanthemums _and _other | Autumn flowers, With roses and shrubs, on the other hand, wood should be ripening now and heavy feeding of the | soil may very well be harmful. Stable manure is somewhat different. The nutrients are there, but are more | slowly available and await the decom- posing of the manure into humus. ~For this reason applications of stable ma- nure are safe at any time of the year. The difficulty, as all home gardeners realize, is in obtaining the manure. BY J. W.

It is really remarkable that one variety of fruit can fill such an important position. For many years it was thought that the Concord was purely American—Vitis labrusca, the fox grape of the Northeastern States— but it is now believed that cross-pollina- tion must have brought some European blood to the Concord, perhaps not much, but enough to improve the quality above the native wild grapes.

Many grapes have been brought forward as of better qualities than the Concord, but its all around character- | istics are such that it maintains its leadership among American grapes. PEAT M( Under the caption, “The Use of Peat in Horticulture” the August number of the British “Journal of the Ministry of Agriculture” presents a reliable dis- cussion of this comparatively new horticultural product. Large deposits |of peat are ‘said to exist in various | countries in the Northern Hemisphere, notably Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, the United States, and Canada. How- ever all peats are not siike, differing according to the original vegetation from which derived and in stage of dis- | integration. Sphagnum peats have been utilized the most for horticultural | purposes. Germany contains the larg- | est deposits of sphagnum peat, and there the peat-producing industry has |attained large proportions. The raw | peat is dried, shredded and passed over revolving screens that granulate it into | 8 smooth-textured product. Consider- able quantities of this are exported to the United States. Fresh peat is said to be of greatest use in modifying the | texture of heavy and exceptionally ‘Uahl soils and not in adding fertility. | Peat added to sand has been of benefit in propagation of cuttings and is also | useful for potting bulbs. In the garden peat has proved valuable for mulching | plants, thereby checking weed growth, preventing the rapid evaporation of water from the soil and protecting the plants from freezing and thawing injury. As a source of plant fo>d peat should be first composted with manure and soil and commercial fertilizer. In such a pile decomposition proceeds rapidly |and in a few months one has an ac- | cumulation of effective fertilizer ma- | terial. |~ Home gardeners should not maka the | mistake of assuming that peat moss in itself is an all-around fertilizer. It is true that peat moss contains consider- able quantities of poential nutrients, but these must be first broken down | into available forms, and in the break- | ing down process may use some of the Il\nlhble nitrates in the soil, thereby impregnated with fertilizing ingredients. These should be much more useful than | the fresh peat alone. temporarily decreasing fertility. Lately there have appeared on the market cer- tain proprietary forms of peat moss At this season of the year cabbages may be literally riddled with holes eaten out by the destructive larva or young of the imported cabbage butter- fly. In addition to actnal damage it is highly disagreeable to find several of the greenish worms in the cabbage head when preparing it for che table. | The caterpillars when full grown are | of a soft velvety green and about an inch in length. Their color rather closely resembles that of the cabbage, | making it rather difficult 1o see them. Dusting with a mixture of nine parts |of hydrated lime and one part of -/ | powdered arsenate of lead is an effec- | tive treatment. | Relative to the hazard of using | arsenicals, Dr. H. T. Fernald in his “Ap- plied Entomology” makes the follow- ing statement: f treatment is needed | after the heads are half grown, they | may be dusted with pyrethrum, though the danger of poisoning them by the use of arsenate of lead is’ practically none.” | "It is likely that pyrethrum soaps now | sold as insecticides would be even more effective than the pyrethrum powder. ‘The cabbage butterfly is a harmless- | looking insect, indeed rather attractive | as it flits to and fro over the garden | seeking apparently for plants of the | cabbage family upon which to deposit | its eges. * But its potential capacity for | wrecking the cabbage crop is tremen- | dous. One difficulty in controlling the pest is that it thrives on various crucif- erous weeds, such as mustard, which are abundant everywhere. CUTTINGS FOR 1932 | Gardening 1s a revolving process that | really knows no end. No sooner are plants brought to maturity than it is time to think ahead to next year. Soon now it will be time to take cuttings of heliotropes, geraniums, coleus and other | plants as source of planting stock for 1932, Cuttings are easier to handle | than actually taking up the entire plant, | and, furthermore, cuttings yield more | vigorous plant materials, as they consist 1 of the young active tissue. An outdoor frame filled with sand or, better, a mix- ture of sand and peat moss, affords an ideal environment for rooting cuttings, as the glass sash can be placed over the cutting bed on cool days and nights.

'EMBER 6, 1 of the leaves from cuttings, some inter- esting evidence was recently presented by the Iowa State College.” Where all foliage was cut away from coleus cut- tings practically all died. Under favor- able growing circumstances the rate and amount of root growth was directly cor- related with the amount of leaf area left on the cutting, the leaf surface ap- g.nen!ly providing food for root. growth. he plan would then be to provide favorable growing conditions and leave most of the foliage on the cutting. Autumn is a favorable time to take cuttings. The wood is no longer soft; and succulent but contains a goodly proportion of reserve foods which favor rooting. It is better to take cuttings now, while there are still several weeks of growing weather ahead, and not to delay until danger of frosts. A few shoots removed here and there from the beds or plant boxes will make little dif- ference in appearance and wil give ample stock for another year. I HARDY HYDRANGEAS The large flowered hardy hydrangea, Paniculata grancifiora, is not up to its usual standard of beauty this year, hav- ing apparently suffered more than most plants from the effects of last Sum- mer’s drought. Ordinarily this species | is & very conspicuous feature on many | lawns and is often used as a l'lowering' hedge on large estates. The wood is soft and pithy and apparently requires an abtpdant supply of water to kéep it in thrifty condition. Dr. Bailey in his Cyclopedia of Horticulture tells us that there are about 35 species of hydrangea, more than 20 of which occur in China. A few of the specles are climbing vines, but most of tshem are shrubs. Dr. Bailey adds that the hydrangeas are easily propagated by cuttings of half ripened wood placed under glass or by hardwood cuttings, layers, suckers or division of large plants. Since the hydrangeas rarely set seed, this form of propagation is negligible. In order to secure large flowering heads the plants should be pruned se- | verely each Spring to induce strong new shoots, at the terminals of which are carried the flowers. Needless fo add. the plants need tillage and fertilizing in order to attain their best. The hydrangea is peculiarly free of insect pests and plant disease troubles and is for this reason an exceptionally good home garden plant. GARDEN NOTES I Maintaining cultivation under con- ditions of ¢aily rainfall is quite be- yond the question. Withal the benefit of cultivation lies principally in weed suppression and in heavy clay soil in aeration of the soil. Salvia is an extremely rapid growing plant at this time of year, developing almost over night, as it were. The sal- via is a short day plant and is now approaching its most favorable time of year, a fact which probably accounts in part for the spurt in growth. Weeds have thrived under the moist condition, making it necessary not only to pull them, but also to pile them where they can not again take root. Heavy rains have softened the soil to such ‘an extent that tall plants. such as cosmos and dahlias, are liable to topple with the first real wind. This in- dicates the need of stekes. Many dahlia specialists place the stakes at the time of planting the tubers and the plant may be tied so as to practically | conceal the stake. A label bearing the name of the variety may be attached directly to the stake. For many years American gardeners struggled in an attempt to grow the or- dinary types of garden spinach in Mid- summer and only succeeded in rare| seasons when the climate was cool. | Finally there was secured from Australia | a spinach-like plant commonly known as New Zealand spinach, but of an absolutely different famlily and with an adaptability to hot weather. Now in many sections this new plant is grown in -Midsummer to the exclusion of or- dinary.epinach. New Zealand spinach may'be cut again and again if only a portion of the fresh young shoots are taken. Another very fair Summer green is Swiss chard, especially the leaf mid- | ribs, with the remainder discarded. Served with plenty of butter, these mid- ribs make a really attractive vegetable described by some as equal to aspara- gus. Over 2,000 acres of tomatoes are now grown in New Jersey simply for the production of tomato juice., a product the popularity of which has risen re- markably in the last few years to the detriment of orange and other fruit juices. The tomato had quite a long uphill pull to reach its present pesition in the American diet, where it is now securely intrenched. . Not much more than a century ago the tomato was grown only as an ornamental. Other native American vegetables, such as the white and sweet potatoes, sweet corn and squash, were not so| slow in gaining the estcem of the early colonists, possibly because they were ::mzed to a greater extent by the In- ans. ' THE GARDEN CLUBS l With September there comes a Te- vival of activity in the garden clubs. According to the August number of the Neighborhood News, Woodridge Garden Club members are taking the leadership in the lawn and garden con- test fostered by the Northeast Subur- ban Bicentennial Committee. The ter- ritory covered now includes the area lying between Fourteenth street north- east and the District line in one direc- tion, and between Bunker Hill road and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Prizes to- taling $100 in value are to be awarded. Preliminary judging is to be done by local horticulturists who will select the 25 best places, these to be finally rated by a board of outside judges. To fa- cilitate the preliminary judging the en- tire area has been subdivided into three districts, in charge of Mrs. C. J. Bowne, Dr. R. J. Haskell and L. M. Clark, re- spectively. In making up the score card 20 points were assigned to artistic ap- pearance from the street, 5 to tree space, 15 to plantings, 25 to lawn, front and side; 10 to condition of house and other improvements, and 25 to the back yard. Lawn and garden contests are not new to Woodridge. having been conducted there with marked success during the past few years, but this is the first time that Woodridge has tied in with a District-wide contest. ‘The regular monthly meeting of the Burleith Garden Club was held August 20 at the home of the secretary, Miss Grace Hodges. All those interested in the Burleith garden contesp were urged to bring or send in photographs. The September meeting is to be held at the home of Mrs. Leyoy Valentine, 3728 T street. Plane Loses Wheel in Air. While an airplane of the London auxiliary bombing squad was flying above Lympne, England, those on the ground saw a wheel of the machine drop off without the knowledge of the fiyers. A second machine went up and warned Flying Officer Thynne and Alr Gunner Russell of the mishap. Thynne climbed to 3,000 feet to enable Russell to descend by parachute, but Russell re- fused to desert the plane. On landing the- machine somersaulted and was badly damaged, but neither man was injured. French Open China Building. One of the most imposing buildings in all China has just been opened in Tientsin by the French government.

There has been considerable comment on the project to establish & bureau in the War Department for the transaction of the affairs of the Or- ganized Reserves of the United States Army. Representative W. Frank James, Michigan, chairman of the House Mili- tary Committec, is particularly inter- ested in a bill, introduced by him in the Seventieth and Seventy-first Con- gresses. to create a Reserve division of the War Department. The measure ides for a Regular Army officer as chier of the division. with rank of ma jor general, and six other officers to be assigned to the division, three of whom should be members of the Officers’ Re- serve Corps. The duties of the chief of the Reserve division would include general supervision under the chief of staff of the administration and devel- opment of the Officers’ Reserve Corps, In co-ordination with the general staff the chief of the Reserve dwision would be consulted regarding. and kept in- formed and advised of. all existing and proposed . policies. regulations, plans and orders affecting the Officers’ Re- serve Corps. The Reserve officers on duty in the Reserve division would be called to active duty with their own consent for this purpose, and while so serving would receite the active duty pay and allowances of their grades. Slightly over three years ago, in July, 1928, a committee of Reserve officers, one from each of the corps areas, met at the War Department to consider Re- serve affairs. Its first recommendation in connection with this legislation was that the affairs of the Officers’ Reserve Corps should be solely and entirely com- mitted to the War Department. under the chief of staff: that the Reserve Corps. being a part of the Army and a strictly Federal force, its affairs should be handled as are those of the regular Army, the policies made by the general staff, and the operations conducted by the adjutant general's office, and rec- ommended that no new independent board be created by Congress within the War Department. Six of the nine mem- bers of the board recorded votes in fa- ~or of this recommendation. With the expiration of the five-year appointment of a number of District Reserve officers of filed grade, within the next few months, the Reservists be- longing to this group will be interested ing Army Regulations No. 140-5, pro- mulgated recently, governing their re- appointment. When the five-year pe- riod of appointment of a field grade Reserve officer expires, he may be re- appointed in his former grade and sec- tion with eligibility for promotion, as- signment, and active duty training in peace time, provided he passes a satis- factory physical examination, and it has been officially recorded that during his current appointment he has established his eligibility as provided below. In case eligibility has not been thus es- tablished, he may be reappointed to the same grade and section without eligi- bility for promotion, assignment and active duty training in peace-time. In establishing his eligibility a Reserve of- ficer must: (1) Obtain a certificate of capacity for promotion to the next higher grade: or (2) obtain a certifi- cate of capacity for his present grade, or (3) demonstrate his interest in mili- tary affairs by having a written record of at least 200 hours of Army exten- sion course work, attendance at classes, administrative duties in connection with is unit, or active participation with troops on inactive duty training. In computing the 200 hours, credit of 100 hours will be given for each 14-day pe- riod of active duty: for shorter or longer periods, seven hours’ credit will be given for each full day of active duty: or (4) he has satisfactorily completed the pre- scribed course of instruction for Re- serve officers at the special service schools of his arm of service or the spe- cial course for Reserve officers at the Command and General Staff School or the Army War College. Any Reserve officer of field grade who has been reappointed without eligibility for promotion, assignment or active duty in peace-time may regain such eligibility at any time that he fulfills the requirements of 1, 2 or 4 above, or when he has earned, during his current appointment, either credits of 200 hours or, as an alternative, credits at the rate of 40 hours per year for the elapsed time of his current appointment, plus the number of hours he lagked of se- curing 200 hours’ credit during his prior appointment. Such privilege of regain- ing eligibility for promotion, assign- ment and active duty will ordinarily be granted but once to any individual officer. .
