Questionaire on Cultivation Presented
At January Meeting of Garden Club
Mrs. R. H. Patterson, president
of the Covington Garden Club, nre
sented the following questionaire
on cultivation at the January
meeting.
Why, in the beginning, were
plants cultivated? Ans, For food.
As civilization progressed, wthat
happened? Ans. The better ones
were selected for seed and better
ways found of growing them.
What did this result in? Ans. Im
proved forms as to size, flavor, ear
liness and other qualities, this work
ing being carried on still.
What is hybridizing? Ans. The
creation of new or the improve
ment of existing plants by bringing
together for reproduction plants of
different genera, species, or variety.
Any group of seedlings will show
differences. A desired quality may
be emphasized and v eventually fixed
by interbreeding the plants posses
sing it. Pollen from one plant is
carried to the pistil of another. If
seed i s set which will reproduce
some of the resulting plants will
probably show an advance in the
desired quality, which may be in
creased further by cross-breeding in
subsequent generations. Where the
plants belong to different genera
(very rare), species or variety, the
plant is called a hybrid,
What is Mendel’s Law? Ans. A
.system worked out through experi
me nts by an Austrian monk. Gregor
Mendel, whereby the results of hy
bridizing may be foretold approxi
ma tely. Thus in crossing a tall
fragrant species of flower with
c i aW ed petals, with a short, not fra
grant, not clawed species, a certain
number will show in rather definite
quantity the acquired characteris
tics, the known Tatio carrying on
through later generations, so that
it is possible to some extent to fore
tell what may result from the
breeding.
Name six or more groups with
many hybrids common in our gar
dens. Ans. The hybi id Hemerocallis ;
or Day-lilies, Gladiolus, Dahlias, I
Roses, Lilacs, Allwood Pinks, Aza
leas.
What is "damping off”? Ans. The
wilting to death of young seedlings.
It is caused by one or more of a ,
number of fungous growths which
attack the plant at the surface of
the ground.
How may it be prevented? Ans. j
By treating the soil beforehand with
heat or chemicals; by planting that
does not crowd the seedlings and
by good ventilation. Sometimes to
heat a little sand and sprinkle it j
among part the of threatened the plants Those will al- j
save crop.
ready affected cannot be saved.
How are Dahlias propagated?
Ans. By division of clumps, by cut
tings and by seed. In dividing, each
new plants must have a portion of
the old stalk. Growth in early
spring will indicate the way to di- j
vide. Cuttings from new shoots and
f" 8 ™ Wth may ^
do not reproduce very satis- i
factorily, the resulting plants being ;
inferior as a rule to the parents
What is meant by the breaking ’
of Tulips? Ans. The changing of j
the solid color into irregular stripes
or flecks or “flames.’' It was great
ly admired in the early days oi Tu
lip culture and in the “Tulip Ma
nia' of 17th Century Holland the
enthusiasm was all for the varie
gated or “broken” Tulips. This;
! breaking, we know now, is due

contact, by aphids, or other means
Why is frequent sprinkling of a
garden undersirable? Ans. Because
the plants either are not affected
at all or develop roots near the sur
face which are killed by heat is
fater is withheld later.
What method is correct? Ans
Long watering in one spot till the
soil is fully soaked. It is better to
water each section thoroughly once
a week than to sprinkle the whole
garden daily.

layer of manure, peat-moss, straw,

What is “stopping”? Ans. Nipping
