Caring for the Lawn
Maintenance of first-class
lawns requires long, hard
work, and patience. For those who
are willing to stick by the job, the
information here will be of assis
tance.
Weeds, of course, are an eternal
problem. They must be given vigor
ous battle each succeeding year.
Early spring and late fall are the
| best times for weed fighting, as the
moist conditions then make It more
easy to pull them by the roots.
Dig out dandelions at least two
inches below the surface. Shallow
I cutting is worse than useless as the
remaining root forms several new
plants.
Crab grass is one of the most
widespread and persistent of the
current grass enemies. When it is
about to seed, keep it cut closely.
When possible it should be pulled
out by the roots. Special rakes can
be obtained for the purpose if pull
ing by hand proves too laborious.
When the pulling chore is done,
balanced plant food should be ap
plied to the lawn, —tour pounds to
every 100 square feet. Next wet the
lawn. Then apply seed and rake or
roll it in. If possible, top dress
lightly with good black soil.
Crab grass dies in the fall; but
drops seed which germinates the
following spring. The practfce'here
recommended (it should be per
formed sometime between August 15
and September 15) should give a
good crop of grass in the early
I spring, so dense and vigorous that
the crab grass seedlings, which
germinate comparatively late, will
not have sufficient space or light for
development.
In caring for the lawn, remember
to make additional applications of
plant food periodically where there
are large trees.
Water lawns late in the day. Do
not sprinkle every day or so, but
give one good soaking a week, wet
ting the soil to a depth of several
inches.
Origin of Word “Bunk”
The member for the Buncombe dis
trict in the congressional discussion
of the Missouri Compromise (1820)
persisted in long speeches despite
the boredom and impatience of his
fellow mombers. The incident is
reputed to be the origin of the name
m well as the words bunkum and
bunk.

In the Rock Garden
WITH the rash of early planting
over, this might be a good
time to consider rock garden prob
lems.
Although moat annual flower
seeds should not be planted until
next spring, the time is approach
ing when the garden may be eco
nomically dressed up by planting
seeds of perennial favorites for
early blooms next spring.
This is, moreover, the time of
year when many gardeners find
time to build that long desired roek
garden, or to rearrange the old one.
Discussions here may be helpful to
them In their planning.
Selection of flowers ean make or
break the rock garden. It is im
portant to select only those plants
that grow among rocks in their na
tive haunts and those that seem to
belong among stones. They make
the garden look more natural, and
they also thrive better under rock
garden conditions.
Use judgment in placing the
various planta Creeping plants
should be allowed to make earpets
of color in the larger soil pockets.
Erect plants of varying heights are
appropriate in any of the flat
spaces. Plants that trail should be
allowed to droop over the face of
the rocks; or they may be placed at
the top of a bank or. wan.
In smaller crevices, tufted plants
with rosettes of foliage and short
flower stalks are suitable. Ordinary
garden and bedding plants should
be eliminated from consideration
for the roek garden.
Most true roek plants grow less
than ten inches tall. Use these low
growing perennials and annuals
mostly. Toward the back, however,
and for accent here and there, use
some of the medium and taller
growing annuals considered suit
able. They will give a pleasing
contrast In sits.
As tor color, use plenty of white,
to set off the Unted blossoms.
