Qarden Club
Holds Study
Meeting
•f X Jfj '
The Sulphur Springs Garden
idhib held its regular study meet-
ing Tuesday afternoon in the
horiie of Mrs. C. W. McLemore
id Texas street. _
Mis. J. G. Payne, president of
trie dub presided during the bus-
iness session. During this Mrs. J.
G. Payne and Mrs. Ethel Tanner
appointed delegates to the
annual spring meeting of Texas
Garden Clubs, Inc., to be held
in Corpus Christi April 25, 26 and
27.
After the business meeting Mrs.
H. O. Day, program chairman,
presented the leaders, Mrs. Tom
Bryant and Mrs. C. W. McLe-
more who gave very interesting
and instructive discussions on the
following subjects; Large Chry-
santhemums Outdoors and Com-
mon Insects and Diseases by, Mrs.,
McLemore and Gardening in the
shade and Moisture and Mulches
by Mrs. Bryant.
Mrs. McLemore explained that
chrysanthemums are heavy feed-
ers and the ground where they
are to be planted should be well
prepared and thoroughly enrich-
ed. It should be spaded or forked
to a depth of not less than fifteen
inches.
As soon as the new growth has
started and the plants have made
three or four pairs of leaves, the
buds should be pinched out. This
induces branching, better root
growth and stronger canes.
Chrysanthemum plants use
enormous quantities of food and
water, and even though the ground
is prepared with great care and
highly enriched, it will be neces-
sary to apply both food and water
during the growing season.
In discussion diseases of plants
Mrs. McLemore said that chemi-
cals have been accepted as the
most effective means of control
in m6st cases. They may be ap-
plied in the form of either dust
or spray. One important point that
the amateur gardener should keep
in mind is the difference between
fungicides and insecticides. Fung-
icides are used solely for the con-
trol of fungous diseases and are
inefective when applied to insects.
On the other hand, it would be
a complete loss of material and
labor to attempt to control a fun-
gous disease with insecticide.
Sanitation goes a long way in
keeping down trouble in the gar-
den she said. AH ,plants, diseased
beyond the hope of recovery,
should be gathered and burned as
well &s those too Imdiy infested
to insects. Rose beds should be
thoroughly cleaned at least once
each year all raking burned and
the surface sprayed with a good
fungicide.
Mrs. Bryant, in discussing gar-
dens in the shade said that making
a garden in a sunny spot is no
trouble as most plants relish con-
siderable sunlight and delight to
be so situated that the sun’s rays
will fall directly on them for at
' least part of the day; but making
a garden in a shady spot requires
tcrial.
It has been estimated by experts
that the average tree takes up
75 per cent of both food and mois-
ture from the area under its
branches. Due to the usual impov-
erished condition of the soil under
and near trees, it is necessary to
do a thorough job of renovation
before any planting is done. If
it can be obtained, a layer of two
inches of barnyard manure should
be spre ad over the area and work
ed in a depth of several inches.
Lacking this, add a heavy layer
of peat of leaf mold and use a
•complete plant food at the rate of
about five pounds per 100 square
feet of area, all mixed thoroughly
into the soil.
The application of water is one
of the most common of all gar-
en operations, artd certainly it
js one of the most important; ye*
there are comparatively few gar-
deners who do the job efficiently,
Mrs. Bryant said.
The circulatory system of
plants, unlike that of the human
body, does not form an endless
chain. It is an open system. The
(water, which contains minerals
and nutrients in solution, is taken
up by the roots, passes upward
through the stems to the fol- j
iage, where the food manufac-
turing centers are located1. The
excess moisture is then lost
through transpiration: the term
used to cover the escape of mois-
ture from the leaves in the form
of vapor.
Heavy foiiaged plants require a
lot of water and may wilt if the
supply rqns short. On the -othef
hand, plants with few leaves, those
that have been partially defoliat-
ed by disease or by being cut back,
and the small-leaved and-slow-
growing plants should be watered
with restraint she observed.
One of the best possible methods
of retaining moisture in the soil
is by the. use of a good mulch.
These may be of any one of a
considerable number of materials.
For acid-lovirig plants, peat moss.
