Chemical soil conditioners
have proven remarkably suc

cals serve to aggregate the
soil particles, producing a
looser texture, increase water
penetration and retention and
prevent erosion. Also prevent
oil crusting. Apply according
to manufacturer's specifica
tions for best results. (Do not
expect these soil conditioners

to do the Impossible.) Proper

wonders.

flourishes at sea level. It likes
a sunny location and is worth

We cannot, of course, devote all
of Bur """"i"" to roses when
man other slants are of
interest, also, to our readers.
However, the matter of pest
control for roses is important
Most of our rose troubles stem
from the following:
1. Aphlds which infest tne
soft new foliage, stems and
buds. These can be easily con
trolled with contact insecti
cide. . spray all the Infested
parts and repeat every 7 to 10
dava. '
I. Thrips sear the ease ox
rose petals. They feed inside
the buds and so are hard to
reach. Spray with DDT or ro-
tonone. .
I. Mildew is a fungous dis
ease turning the leaves and
stems a mouldy white. Use "r-
mate or any product containing
Fermate for best results. Re
peat as necessary. Preven
tion of muaew can ne ac-
comnlished by proper irriga
tion. Do not water overhead.
and not in the late afternoon or
evening. .
4. Roee scale Is a dangerous
condition and kill a plant You
can recognize n oy utue wnue
dots along the stems. In sum
mer spray with 2 solution of
good oil emulsion.. Stronger
solution should be used only
when the rose is dormant Two
sprays during summer should
be sufficient
Several good sprays are on
the market for each rose prob
lem. Some of these can be com
bined so that an insecticide and
fungacide may be applied in
one spraying. This saves time
and work.

few rules are followed:
Start spray program as soon
as first leaf buds start to open.

Spray or dust following eacu

The best type of sprayer for
your use is too one that will do
th lob thorouahly. There are
hand sprayers in various sizes
that do an effective Jqb. The
size would depend upon the
number of plants to be covered.
A good type for any spraying
is one that attaches to a gar
den hose, using water pressure
to mix and force the spray at
the same time. The compressed
air or tank tvne sprayer Is ef
fective in getting a tine misty

pressure is reached. . Proper

of spraying materially, whether
it be roses or outer pianu.
A few rules for spraying:
1. Snrav at oruning time.
I. Use a soray that combines
an insecticide and fungicide.
S. Soray often 7 to 10 day
intervals during growing sea

5. Use dust during warm part

Geranium Use
May Be Varied
. By MARK M. TATLOB
Geraniums make splendid
pot plants or plants for window
or porch boxes but are quite
often omitted from flower bor
ders locally. Massed at differ
ent levels in two .shades .of
sink, for example, with an ev
ergreen background they make
a garden picture that is "out of
this world." There are many
varieties of geraniums (Pelar
gonium) which may be some
thing of a surprise to many.
Here are a few good named
varieties: -
Alice Lems single, salmon
pink, margined white.
Mrs. Nelson Eddy single
pure pink.
Berkeley Brilliant single
deep red.
. American Beauty double
rose red.
Dreams double rose to sal
mon. Madonna double white.
Alphonse Ricard double
scarlet .
Miss Burdett Conts fancy
leaf splashed purple.
Scented varieties include,
rose, lemon, fruit and spice,
peppermint pine and pungent.
The pansy flowered varieties
or Lady Washington type in
clude: Sue Jarrett rose to salmon
with dark red.
Salmon Splendor salmon
Dink, crimson and '
Di en ex's Giant pink with

Ivy has single pink blossoms,
Geraniums may be grown
from seed but it if. easier to
propagate them by cuttings.
For winter blooming, cuttings
should be taken in early June.
All buds should be removed
during the summer to insure
winter flowering. They do best
if slightly pot-bound and kept
on the dry side. Place them in
a cool place but in full sun.
Actually, cuttings can be root
ed in fall, winter or spring,
Make cuttings four to five
inches long' with two or more
leaf buds. Top the young plants
when growth is underway to
Induce branching. Geraniums
can be grown to a single stalk
by pinching off the side buds
until plant is I or 4 reel tau,
then pinch out top to make a
branched head. .
Most nests and diseases of
geraniums can be controlled by
periodic dusting with wettable
sulphur..
Geraniums in the flower bor
der are all too often overlook-
Mi. Trv nlanting some early in
May. Garden geraniums should
be lifted before rrosi ana pot
ted. Water sparingly during
winter until in spring the plant
may be turned and set out into
the garden again. Cuttings
should always be started in
doors lest cool night stop the
growth. A SO degree tempera
ture is about right for rooting
or for wintering over plants in
pots. In Grandmother's day
geraniums were "stock pianis
in most gardens. With the
msnv varieties and types now
available we could well revert
to that phase of home garden
ing.
Description el an old fash
ioned rose Jar has been given
to Mark M. Taylor, Journal
garden editor by Audrey Jud-
son of Cloverualt, Ore. It fol
lows:
A good wsy to prsstrvs rose
leaves, and on which may be
kept for SO years in all Its
sweetness, is scent or sweet
iar. When the rose se
comes in, gather from day to
day the leaves from all va
rieties. The weather should
be dry- and sunny, and they
should be gathered as soon as
the dew has dried oft
Strip the petals , from the
calyx, throwing out those de
cayed. When a half peck has
been collected take a porcelain
bowl and in its place alternate
layers of the leaves and fine
table salt, letting the last layer
be salt and cover .with plate
that fits in to bowl. Let them
remain there for 11 hours, then
turn, stir and mix them each
day for a week.. ?
When the entire mass ap
pears moist, add three ounces
of all-spice to form stock. Turn
the mass three more days, add
ing daily quarter ounce each of
all-spice and ground cinnamon
Put the mixture Into the orna
mental ar in which it is to be
kept, and add the following
ingredients, all coarsely pow
dered: Cloves, cinnamon, nut
meg, mace, allspice, orange
and lemon peel, anise seed
and root each one once; black
pepper, one quarter ounce: six
grains of musk and the same of
oil or rose geranium, lavender,
rosemary or any essential oil
preferred.
Violets, orange flowers, myr
tle leaves, clove pinks, Jessa
mine, honeysuckle, mignonette,
heliotrope and lemon verbena
may all be added as they
bloom, and from year to year,
always preparing the
leaves as directed. The Jar
must be frequently stirred and
shaken and various perfumes
and essential oils added as they
are obtained.. Never allow the
mixture to freeze and when it
becomes dry, moisten with any
of the scented waters. Keep
the Jar tightly closed for
month after mixing, then open
whenever the scent is desired.
snd it will soon permeate the
entire house, filling it 'with
delicious odor like the per
fume of a thousand flowers.
A favorite pillow, and one
much cherished in the olden
times, was a "rose pillow." This
is made by filling case with
dry leavea (rose). It is frag
rant and the very thing for
a genial nap when headache
the visitor to be entertained.

What principles should be fol
lowed in laying out a plant-
Mrs. G. G.
Ana. Books have . been
written on the subject 6f land
scaping but I believe the fol
lowing will be helpful to you
in your initial planting:
1. Don't plant trees or
hedges that might form a traf
fic hazard through view ob
struction. 2. Allow for a service area,
.to save steps to clothesline,
garbage can, et, and to per
mit deliveries to your house.
Also remember electric, gss
and water meters must be
read, so allow access to them.
3. Keep lawn edges straight
or in long curves, easy to cov
er with a mower.
4. Don't plant specimen
trees or shrubs or hedges that
require frequent trimming.
5. Allow space for chil
dren's play yard, drying yard,
incinerator, wood storage or
for a future lath house or
greenhouse.
