Mow IlPoes
CpsaU'dlenn
By ULLIE L. MADSEN .
The peony is a flower that "grows on" you. And no
wonder, for the peony does not require division for many
years; it is not subject to many diseases, and with, reason
able care, bloom is almost certain. As a cut
flower, the peony has extremely good keep
ing qualities; and after bloom is over, the fo
liage continues to be decidedly Ornamental.
So get oat your catalogs and get yonr order In
now for September planting, for fall Is the time to
plant peonies.. Plantings may be made as late as
October and on Into early November, if the ground
has been prepared in advance, although the later
plantings will not make as strong growth the fol
lowing spring as will the September plantings.
Plant where they will receive full sunlight,
and' where the soil will not be Impoverished by
roots of trees and large shrubs. Thorough drainage
must be provided. Peonies will not do well In wet
or soggy soil. ; Heavy soil will produce the best
blooms, but sandy soil will give good results If well fed and. If the
peonies are well supplied with water during the blooming season and
dry periods.
. Begin preparing the soil before o
you wtsn tne - plants aeitverea.
Spade the soil to a depth of 18
inches, then work up the soil, le
vel It off, and allow to settle un
til the roots arrive.
When holes are made Mr plant
ing the roots in the previously
prepared bed, mix one teaspoonful
of complete, - balanced plant food
with 'the soil in the bottom of the
hole, cover with about two inches
of soil, and then plant the roots.
Planting Depth.
While the soil should be pre
pared to a considerable depth, the
plant itself should be set so that
the little pink and white buds
from which next year's, growth is
to develop are only two or three
inches below the surface of the
soil. In heavy soil they should not
be deeper than two inches, but in
sandy soil, it Is permissible to
plant so the eyes are three Inches
below the surface. Too deep
planting is a common cause of
failure to bloom. Do not expect
too much from plants in the way
of bloom the first season, as they
must become established before
they wiU give full bloom. In fact
pinching 11 buds the first year
will give better developed plants
later, but this is asking almost
too much of any gardener.
Perhaps you get rather impa
tient about the reiteration of this
theme with the return of each
August and September, but each
year new readers Join and some
of the old ones drop out, and so
I repeat It both for the benefit of
old and new friends. . . . "Fall-
made lawns are best"
The evidence is overwhelming
that fall Is the best time to make
new lawns, and the making of a
new lawn means so much to the
gardener in back-breaking labor,
in the cost of seed and plant food,
and in the expenditure of time,
that the more gardeners who
plant the lawns in the fall, the
fewer disgruntled gardeners there
are going to be.
In faU, the soil Is warm and
workable a condition not often
found until very late spring. Fall
rains provide plenty of moisture.
The fall weather Is very favorable
to the gerralnatIon and growth of
grass seed, and 'the fall-made
lawns produce sturdy, deep-rooted
grass plants that will be in condi
tion to make rapid growth in the

spring before the weeds get too
good a start Weed seeds don't
seem to germinate so rapidly in
this season.
Seeding Time Now.
Seeding should be done between
now and September IS.
Preparation of the seedbed for
the lawn should be thorough
Spade or plow the area thoroughly
to a depth of 6 to 8 Inches. Pul
verize the soil well. If the soil is
too sandy, work in clay or peat
moss until the right texture. If
too clayey, work in sand or peat
moss to break It up. After the
soil is pulverized and graded, ap
ply a complete balanced plant
food and work into the top Inch
or two. It is best to wait one
day after plant food Is applied be
fore seeding. Sow good grass
seed. The variety depends a lit
tle upon the location. The recom
mendatlon of your seedman
should be reliable. Apply one
half of the seed crosswise of the
area, and the other half length-
wise. This will give a more even
distribution man li it is all ap
plied in one direction.
Roll the lawn to imbed the seed
and insure perfect contact with
the soil. This step is essential
and should not be omitted.
Water thoroughly, using a fine
spray. Keep moist by daily
sprinklings until the grass is well
established; then soak once or
twice a week, according to the
weather. Once the grass is estab
lished, soak thoroughly when you
do water so that the roots become
established deeply.
If a newly sown fall lawn makes
a growth of more than three
inches it should be cut before it
becomes dormant While the lawn
should not be cut extremely short
in early winter, neither is it ad
visable to allow it to go Into the
winter at a height of more than
three inches.
Remember that old lawns, nnt
into' good shape now will also
come out of it In much better con
dition in spring than the nncared-
tor-iawn.
N. A. The method yon refer to
as "the potato-sta rung-method'
for rose slips is undoubtedly the
old-world method of taking a

potato and planting the potato

down Into the ground so that only
about, two Inches (one bud at
least) of the "slip" appears
above the ground. All eyes must
be cut out from the potato or you
will have more of a vegetable
garden than a rose bed. I have
never tried this method of start
ing rose cuttings but I hare been
told that it was by no .means un
common in England, and some of
the old-time English gardeners are
said to still believe it superior to
all other methods.
Mrs. E. W. Many plants do not
like to have their foliage watered.
but you will find that the tuber
ous begonias are different in this.
During warm, dry weather it is
well to sprinkle the begonia fo
liage each day. I am hearing a
great deal about the lovely bego
nia dlsplsys at the San Francisco
faif. I hope those of you who en
joy gardens and are going to the
zair, look tnem up. The begonias
should bloom way into the - fall
there. I can well Imagine that
san Francisco would be a good
place lor tuberous begonias.
Don't neglect the evergreens at
this season. It is well to spray
them thoroughly with a good oil-
nicotine. And give them a good
soaking. So often the evergreens
are just given a little irrigation
and one -wonders what makes
them turn brown and die back at
the tips. Let a good stream of
water run down beneath the ever
greens once or twice a week.
