THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON THE HOME GARDENER Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for Beautifying Surroundings of the Home. ANTHEMUMS. | HRY Bome years ego the Department of Agriculture published a bulletin on the chrysanthemum—Farmers' Bulletin No. 1311 —which presented with great clar- ity the fundamental practices underly- ing the successful culture of the hardy garden varieties, and pointed out the fact that the chrysanthemum is a very satisfactory flower for the amateur, re- quiring very simple treatment and vielding large displays of flowers. At this time, when the early chrysanthe- mums are beginning to bloom and the ! other citizens of the flower garden are | dropping their foliage and getting ready | for Winter, the chrysanthemum surely | comes into its own. In the first place, the chrysanthemum is semi-hardy; even | the blooms cen withstand light frosts which eliminate the dahlia, salvia and other Fall bleoming species Yet, as | pointed out in the bulletin cited— which, by the way, was written by B.| Y. Morrison—chrysanthemums differ in | hardiness. The large-flowered green-| house varjeties cannot bloom satisfac- torily out cf doors without protection. But there is a wealth of outdoor types | in & wealth of colors to suit the garden- er's fancy, New varieties are being | added rapidly every vear, not always better than the old, but often introduc- | ing some new feature. | In respect to increasing itself, the| chrysanthemum has few equals, as each Spring there spring up several young plants from about the base of the old stalk, differing in number according to | varfety and the vigor of the oid plint, but always abundant. Mr. Morr his bulletin recommends that chr; themum plants be divided every just as indoor chrysanthemt handled. Such_division, if accompa- nied by good culture, means larger and | finer blooms than can possibly be ob- | tained on undivided plants. Chrysan- themums may also be produced from seed, but such propagation is re.s:,rk‘lsd' to the development of new varieties. With such a simple process as division readily available, there is no need to | search further. | Again, as emphasized by Mr. Morri- | son, the chrysanthemum responds to liberal feeding. Any one who has seen | greenhouse growers care for a crop of this flower will appreciate what liberal feeding means. Not simply fertilizing the before setting the plants, but applying nutrients at repeated intervals throughout the growing season. Whether it is a mixed fertilizer, bonemeal. sheep manure or cther animal manure, it matters little, because all of these ma- terials contain nitrogen, perhaps the most important plant food, or, better expressed, the most limiting plant food. Chrysanthemums supported by stakes or by wire trellis hold themsclves strongly erect and make a Rorgeou show in the Autumn garden, being as much the finale of the home garden flower season as the narcissus is the prelude. DELPHINIUM BLIGHT. ’ { | In the October number of the Exten- | sion Service News of the University of Maryland, Prof. C. E. Temple of the plant pathology department states that many Maryland gardeners this year have reported trouble with delphinium blight, which is said to attack both annual and perennial forms of the plant. The disease, according to Prof. Temple, is readily conveyed on the gar- dener’s shoes or tools, making it highly | important that the soil which has pro- | duced discased plants be carefully dis- infected, for which purpose Prof. Tem- | ple recommends formaldehyde, 1 part to 240 of water, applied at the rate of 3 to 4 quarts per square foot, and sug- gests_that the soil should be first thor- | oughly pulverized. Covering the soil with ourlap or canvas for a few hours afterward helps to increase the effi- ciency of the treztment. The many gardeners about the city who have grown fine larkspurs or del- phiniums only to lose them by diseases should profit by the suggestion. The formalin is not at all dangerous to use and may be procured from any drug store. ey | | PL ns T PEONIES | | The following information, taken from the Extension Service News of the University of Maryland, shows quite | well how favorably Autumn planting is considered and also offers some reliable advice on cultural practices: | “One of the most satisfactory herba- | ceous perennials either for garden or for commercial production of cut flow- ers is found in the old-fishicned peony. | Its cultural requirements are simple, although it responds readily to good treatment. It has a pleasing habit of growth and the foliage stays in good condition throughout the season, mak- ing it particularly well adapted to land- | scape use. | “The peony is long-lived and secms to resent being disturbed. Growers have pretty well agreed that the best time for planting or transplanting is during September and November. Roct growth 1s made before freezing weather and plants get established end ready for early Spring growth. “A deep, well drained clay loam is preferred for this flower and an open | site should be chogen. A little light | shade is beneficial in preserving deli- cate tones of color in some varieties, but, competition with the roots of vigor- ous growing trees is disastrous. ~In planting peonies, the crown should be set 2 or 3 inches below the surface. “Heavy fertilizing is not necessary | unless the soil is very infertile. As & | rule manures are to be a\flidcdh\mlfss dug in dee] Its presence on the sur- mz‘ sptms te the bud blast and other fungus diseases. ~Bonemeal or a complete fertilizer will be found satisfactory if mixed thoroughly with the soll. “Keeping the surface soil stirred will keep plants in good condition. In se- vere droughts it may be necessary to water occasionally, although soaking the ground thoroughly cnce a week is better than more frequent sprinklings. “In order to control the more com- mon diseases, it is good practice to cut the foliage off close to the ground at the end of the growing seascn and burn the material.” Prof. W. R. Balfard, extension spe- cialist in landscape gardening at the | University of Maryland, offers in the October number of Extension Service News the following suggestions: Two_general plans may be followed | in the flower garden to maintain con- | stant bloom throughout the season. In the first plan it is recognized that max- imum bloom cannot be maintained in any one border during the entire season | because of the relatively few plants which bloom continuously. By dividing . the garden into about four scparate sections, the plants that bloom at dif- ferent periods can be assembled to- gether, so that each section provides maximum effect for a part of the season. - “This scheme requires considerable space, but has certain advantages. Every flower bed must be worked over | at intervals, dividing the crowns of perennials, replacing those that die, and removing fadine fowers and dy ing stals, This work is greatly sim plified when most of the plants are ready for handling at the same time.| During this time, when the section may not be in presentable condition. ' the seasonal area is showing its max- imum beauty. “The sccond plan, and the one mos! commonly followed, is to stress suc- cession of bloom in the garden 2s a whole, rather than m:iximum effect at any one season. Arrangement of plants in the horder must be carefully planned 80 that at every period bloom will b:*' well distributed throughout the border. | A knowledge of the blooming habits | of plants is essential, if the plan is to be effectively worked out. A wealth of ! meant Iots of hard w BY J. W. WELLINGTON. Grape growing on a large scale. This view, taken in Western New York, whence come most of the Concord grapes now coming to our markets, may have little bearing on home gardening, but does show that grapes thrive in full sun- light, endure rather poor soil and prosper despite the heavy pruning essential to trellising on tw ment of Agriculi information can be obtiined frem de- scriptive catalogs, bulletins of the | United States Department of Agricul- ture and University of Maryland, and the best garden magazines, | “It is not too early to begin plan. ning for next year. In fact, it is an| excellent idea to note for future refer- | | ence the dates when the different flow- ers are in_ bloom. These dates will| vary somewhat In different seasons and in different parts of the State, fo that local _observations are particularly | valuable.” THE COMPOST HEAP. There s no doubt but that the Eng- lish method of gardening, in which all plant refuse went into a pile known as the compost heap, was a sound prac- tice, In addition to the plint refuse | there was added some stable manure and porhaps some sod. Thus the Eng- | lish gardener was always looking ahead to th> next vear. The compost pile needed rather frequent mixing and but in the end furnished marvelous material for stimulating and maintaining the growth of plants. Although the composting _practice brought to America along with Oid World gardeners, it became popular as time went on There xcess of stable manure and this g took the place of com- posts. It looks now as if we should restore the compost heap to favor in order to maintain gardens on & suc- cessful footing, especially those back yard gardens that are too small to be given over in part 1o cover crops. A bale of straw or a few barrow Joads of leaves will form a good basis for a compost heap. To this mass| should be added layer by layer lime and some nitrogen fertilizer, such as nitrate of soda or ammonium sulphate, | wetting down the mass during the proc- ess. Preferably the location should be in some protected spot where the wind will not be too much of a factor in | blowing the material about. If turned | regularly, decomposition will st in and | by the time gardening is well under way next Spring a supply of fertilizing | material will be at hand at a cost not much more than manure and much freer of wecd seed and so forth. The compost heap is not a substi- tute for fertilizers as we know them, but a supplement to make fertilizers more valuable. The compost heap furnishes crganic_matter as well as nutrients. Our stiff clay soils. if simply supplied with mineral fertilizersbecome as their original humus is used up more dif- ficult to work, but, if given chemical fertilizers and the composted material, | they will improve in texture and fer- tility. was the loss was | e Grimes Golden apple appears to have a worthy rival in the new Golden Delicious which is now beginning to come to market in considerable quan. tity. Golden Delicious was named be- cause it was presumably of the same | character as the Red Delicions but in | truth the two are rather distinct. The flesh of the Golden Delicious is not so crisp and juicy and, though nicely | flavored, does not possess that peculiar aromatic quality that makes the Red Delicious so outstanding. Both varieties are rather sweet, pomologically speak- ing mildly sub-acid. It is coubtful if | Golden Delicious will crowd the Grimes | Golden out of favor, but will rather | supplement the latter, extending the | season of yellow apples a little later. | Yellow apples have to be extra fine to wires.

The important spray is just after the petals {21l Arsenate of lcad is the poisonous agent generally used because of effectiveness and adhering quality. Arsenate of lead brings to mind at once the spray residue problem, which troubling commercial fruit growers everywhere, but should scarcely bother home gardeners in this region, because, in the first place, home gardeners rarely spray more than two or three times, and, in the second, these sprays are applied early in the season, while the fruit is smail and while rains are still in line to wash off most of the spray. THE GARDEN CLUBS. The Takoma Horticultural Club, un- der the direction of Winn T. Simmons, chairman of the Purchasing Committee, is now distributing the order of import- ed bulbs to the subscribers. Large se- lected bulbs, packed in Holland for each individual purchaser, they are sure to please the members. Every year a large number of new varieties ere brought into the community as a result of this annual crder, incidentally help- ing to make the Spring flower shows more be: and interesting and at a material saving to the members. Al- though co-operative purchasing is only one function of a garden club, it is easily cne of the most appealing fea- tures, and when systematized to a cash basis with order and each order care- fully ed and numbered, impossible task even for otherwise busy nt ‘The res munity Garden Club of Rockville was held October 10 at the home of Mrs. William Wiley of Gaithersburg with Mrs. Forest Walker assisting. At the business session, conducted by Mrs. B. T. Elmore, the president, the resig- nation of Mrs. C. M. Grubb as prop- erty custodian was accepted. At her own request, the name of Mrs. George Hane of Alta Vista, a.former president of the club. was transferred to the new list, Mrs. Mergaret Welsh ted a historical account of the s activities dating back to its for- mation in 1909. supplementing this with list of past and present members. Miss Laura A. Wadsworth, Mrs. L. L. Nicholson and Mrs. M. L. Leet judged the flowers brought by members and awarded points toward the season’s to- tal. The guest spoaker was Dr. Earl B.

Naval Reserve ‘Three enlisted members of the First Battalion, United States Naval Reserve of the District of Columbia, have ap- plied for permission to take' the cruise aboard the U. S. Battleship Wyoming to Galveston, Tex., for the pageant to be held there. As yet. it was said no officers have made applications to make this voyage, which will consume about a month. Those who have applied are Daniel M. Levy, fireman, third class, attached to the First Fleet Division, residing at 3105 Sixteenth street; Ernest H. Perg seaman, second class, and Francis T. Tucll, fireman, third class; both at- tached to the First Fleet Division, and both residing at 1325 Childress street northeast. Ten_officers and 500 enlisted men from Naval Reserve battalions on the east coast have been extended an in- vitation by the Navy Department to make this cruise, which will be with- out pay or the expense of travel to join the ship or to return to Washing- ton from the port of debarkation upon completion of the cruise. Officers will be required to pay their mess bills, but enlisted personnel will be rationed with the ship's company at the expense of the government. Those accepting the invitation for this training cruise will be required to report at Yorktown, Va., by October 19, when the vessel is scheduled to sail. The ship will be at Yorktown during the sesquicentennial celebration. The Reserve personnel is scheduled to be disembarked at Phila- delphia on November 21. Officers point out that the proposed cruise will furnish an excellent oppor- tunity for men who have time avail- able to get some valuable training aboard a battleship. Practically all of the service of the majority of enlisted men of the local battalion has been obtained aboard destroyers, as that is the type of vessel for which they are scheduled in case of an emergency. However. the naval inspection board in & rccent report recommended consid- eration of plan to give the Reservists | some training aboard a battleship where they could have closer contact with the Regular establishment. Leo Rosoff, 1807 Lamont street, was enlisted as a seaman, second class, last week and assigiied to the Third Fleet Division, Lieut. (Junior Grade), Franklin A.

The Navy Department reported that the chief of the Bureau of Navigation, on a tour of the West Coast, found op- portunity to visit various Naval Reserve armories, at some of which the per- sonnel were present, although at others they were away on their Summer cru It _was added that for the personnel whom he was privileged to see he takes the opportunity of saying that thelr appearance was highly grati- fying as indicating high morale and every promise of very real usefulness in preparation for their mission. For the units that were absent it was said that he is able to say that the con- dition and upkeep of armories ‘reflected | such credit as to indicate similar high morale and promise of ability to ful- | fill their mission. At all units visited there were re- ported to be waiting lists of applicants | el,&(‘l’ to join the organizations, and | this feature was declared evidence of high standards. The chief of the bu- reau expresses regret that time would not permit him to visit all units, but it | was said that the generally high show- | ing made by those visited cannot fail to | assure him that the same may be in-| ferred of all.

Service on such vessels not listed as Naval Reserve vessels, the department has ruled, does not come within the limitation. Commandants of naval districts may answer inquiries as to what vessels are carried on the ap- proved list, Many applications received by the Bureau of Navigation for commission in the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve, the bureau has informed Reserve per- sonnel, are nmot complete, necessitat: g that all such applications be retw to the various commandants, with much loss of time, irritation to the ap- plicant and loss of precedence due to others being commissioned while the candidate’s ~ application is awaiting completion. The most common fault, the bureau says, is failure to forward the can- didate's finger prints. Finger prints must invariably accompany applica- tions in order that the applicant's pre- vious record may be determined beyond question. Further, the application must be accompanied in every case by letters showing the candidate’s employment for the two years previous to applica- tion. The two years' record must be continuous, with no blank periods. The record of employment during the two years must be in the form of letters of recommendation from the candi- date's employers during that time, The Naval Reserve Inspection Board, it was reported, has received numerous requests that certain divisions or bat- talions be inspected on specific dates or within certain time limits. The board, it was explained, does not desire to discourage such legitimate requests, and especially where they contain in- formation to the eflect that other ac- tivities of personnel are contemplated or where the armory is engaged for other purposes which would interfere with the " inspection. However, the board said that it is desired to point out that the purpose of annual in- spection, or any inspection, is to insure a high standard of performance and training being maintained throughout the year. It is not desired that divi- sions and battalions be brought to a satisfactory state of training solely for passing inspection and then allowed to Leltrso‘mde untll the next inspection is BUSINESS IS MAKING FULL SEASONAL GAINS Thus far in October, says the United Business Service of Boston, business appears to have made full seasonal gains. There is every evidence that this trend will continue during the balance of the month.
