THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 1 1, 1929 I, The Garden i -- and -- The Garden Bountiful Beautijul Readers are invited to use this department for a dis- cussion of their garden problems. Questions addressed to The Garden Editor, The Oshawa Daily Times will be answered in this column as promptly as possible. This department will appear in The Times twice a week. VEGETABLES WORTH TRYING While Canadians have learned fo appreciate spinach, asparagus and lettuce much more than was the case ten years ago there are still many excellent vegetables which too seldom find a place in garden in this country, There is, for instance, the Chinese cabbage which. is not really a cabbage at all but a mustard, and resembles the Cos lettuce in appearance. It, makes a compact head a little longer than ordinary cabbage and Is served like lettuce or cabbage in a salad. The green portions of the leaves may be used like spin- ach. This vegetable is self-folding, and therefore self-blanching, re- quiring no tying up of any kind. It is sown in August. The newer squash are also recommended, some of the smaller types being cooked in the ordinary way and served in- diyidually in halves, Lima beans are not often seen in the Canadian garden and yet they can be easily grown if sown after all danger of frost is over. For an abundant supply of greens for Winter and Spring use, Borecole or Kale. is highly recommended. Very few old country gardens are complete without this vegetable which -is very hardy, not minding early or late frost. The leaves which are the part eaten are curly, bright green and very tender. Sow in May or June, transplant in July, and cultivate same as cabbage. For early Spring use, sow in Septem- ber and protect over Winter with covering of straw Broccpli is an- other vegetable which is easily grown, plants being very hardy and vigorous. It hag large firm white heads resembling cauliflouwer and it will stand cold, heat and drought. Brussels Sprouts have a more deli- cate flovar than cabbage and are about as easily grown. They may be hought as plants or grown from seed. Cress or Pepper Grass makes a very attractive garnish for any salad and has a distinct pleasant flavor all its own. It is one of the most simple vegetables to grow. From an economical standpoint, Swiss chard or spinach beet hag" no peer. It is available during late summer and fall when spinach is not, and, in addition to 'supplying greens like spinach, the - stems which are flat and pure white make an excellent substitute for aspara- gus. Red cabbage is just as easy to grow as the common sort and a few heads will make salads much more attractive. Another ex- cellent salad plant is the endive which is at its best during the hot weather of mid-summer when the lettuce which it replaces has turn- ed bitter and is unpalatable. There is no reason why a few Egg ' plants should not be included in svery garden. This is a hot weath- yr plant, but is quite easily grown tnd adds interest to gardening. OSHAWA Seats on Sale Circus Day JURY & LOVELL Drug Store Same Price as at Grounds When we come to the corn, it is perhaps not generally known that there are several varieties now which come on a week earlier than Bantam and there are also many late varieties which when planted along with the Bantam extend the usual season many weeks. Koll Rabi is another interesting vege- table, a sort of cross between turnip and cabbage in flavor but the edible portion grows above ground.' White mustard or the Chinese variety is recommended for those who want something out of the ordinary. A few pepper plants add wealth of material for salads and pickling and, if set out after all danger of frost is over, are grown with little care. SWEET PEAS Sweet peas must get their growth now before the hot weather really sets in. They need deep' cultivation and fairly heavy fertilizing. If grown in a trench, as they should be, gradually draw in the soil around them so that deep roots may develop In this case, they will come through a siege of hot weath- er more easily than if a shallow root growth, which does not pene- trate into the cooler soil, only had been grown. They require some support in the way of strings, brush or wire which will give them from three to six feet of climbing space. ' CARE OF ROSES Roses require fairly deep culti- vation and heavy fertilizing up until the first of July in order to push growth and produce flowers. After this, however, it is advisable to slow down so that the plants may get hardened before the cold weather sets in. To aid in this process which takes two or three months it is a good plan to plant. a few low-growing plants such as pansies, ecalendulas, violas, or dwarf nasturtiums around roses which will brighten up the bed and benefit the bushes by absorb- ing moisture. At this time, a little nitrate of soda will be found a good fertilizer, a scant tablespoon- ful dug in lightly around the plant but not touching it, being advised. After July, however, a slower acting fertilizer - such as liquid manure or bonemeal is ad- vised. DISEASE OF ROSES The most common disease of the rose is "mildew." This occurs on almost every variety, Some are less suspectible to it than others, but all are liable to an attack. hTe leaves of the plant attacked are covered ,with a whitish powd- ery substance, and similar pat- ches develop on the shoots, Later the affected parts curl up. There generally are two attacks of this disease, the first in spring and the second in late June and July. Many sprays are good for the control of it and one of the best is ammoniacal copper carbonate. This spray should be applied from May on every ten days or two weeks. It should be applied on a still day after the sun is low. If dry dusting is favored, ordin- ary flowers of sulphur should be used at similar intervals. Another bad disease in the rose is leaf blotch. This trouble may he recognized by the purplish blot- ches on the leaf. Later the leaves turn yellow and die. " For this trouble early spraying with lime-sulphur is recommended, but if the matter is taken in hand early dusting with flower or sul- phur will control it and will not disfigure the plants as much as the lime-sulphur. In the matter of insect pests the green fly or aphis is the most common, This insect weakens the plant by sucking up the sap and by the gummy secretions which block. up the breathing pores of the leaves. Besides which this gummy ex- cretion or honeydew. as it is some- times called, forms a suitable me- dium for the germination of spores which result in the sooty-colored patches sp often seen on the leaves and shoots. For this pest tobacco in some form or another is the best con- trol.

The reason for this is that, while the spray will kill the adults, it may not account for the eggs, and as these hatch out with remarkable quickness, it is neces- sary to spray quite soon again in erder to get the pest under con- trol. Black leaf 40 will also control the larvae of the Tortrix moth, which takes the form of a small caterpillar, destructive to leaf and flower bud. Thrip, leaf-hopper and the rose slug-worm may also be controlled in the same way, There are other caterpillars which infest roses and which can- not be controlled hy tobacco. These must he given poison and this is how it is done: IFFour to six of lead powder water must be applied in a fine mist-like spray in order to cover all the leaves of the plant with a coating of the poison, which will be eaten hy the caterpillars. It is almost needless to say that this poison must be handled with care, as it is really dangerous, There are preparations advertis- ed that are non-pbigsonous which are said to have the same effect, but the writer has had no experi- ence with them. of arsenate gallons of ounces to ten The main thing about spraying is to have a good sprayer. To do an effective job the sprayer must have a pressure of 50 to 60 pounds to the square inch, so that the spray hits the tree with foree. Spraying should be carried out in dull weather and never in hot sunshine, as this may produce scorch. Fully opened flowers should mot be sprayed, as it will disfigure them. J» i : Spray early and often is a good motto for thoge who want fine roses.

B. Hertzog is to be given a further term of five years In power, or whether the South Atri- can Party under General J. C. Smuts is to be recalled. In the last Parliament the' Nationalists held 63 seats, the South-Africa Party 53 and Labor 18, and there was one forming a party of his own un- der the title "Constitutional Demo- crat". General Hertzog thus nad a working majority of 28, which, on the vital issues of the German Trade Treaty dwindled in the last session to 5. During their fourteen years of administration the S. A. Party Gov- ernment under Generals Botha and Smuts, had to deal with a great mass of reorganization following on the Union in 1910, and ian with the upheavals of the World War, eventually going out of office at the bedrock period of depres- sion. By coincidence, with the ad- vent of power of General Hertzog, the economic tide began to turn, and the Nationalist Government have experienced five years of prosperity, which have been re- reflected in continuous financial surpluses, and a peace in indus- try which South Africa has not known for many years. These have given General Hertzog the oppor- tunity of demonstrating the spirit of nationalism in South Africa-- already innate by tradition in the hearts of his supporters--to 'a ao- gree which bade fair at one time to make a break in the Union. 1nis spirit has made itself manifest in many ways, notably in the dis- putes over the Flag Bill and the German Trade Treaty. Flag Question Scttled The question o t flag, or r- ther flags, is now regarded as sci- tled, and although sporadic refer- ences are made to it in the hea: of election speeches the party lead- ers, by tacit consent, have left the matter alone. The main elements in the elec- toral struggle are a complete and apparently irrevocable split in the Labor party and the German Trade treaty. The split in the Labor party has been a gradual growth, anu. apart from its personal element, began when the Labor party decid- ed by a majority, in 1924, to join General Hertzog in forming a gov- ernment. This decision was oppos- ed by the extremists, who, like many others, less extreme, were unable to visualize radical Labour finding anything in common with an ultra-conservative farmers' par- ty, or at least were unable to visu- alize Labor being effective in such a combination, especially in view of the small minority formed by the Labor members. While the Nationalists and Labor members continued to act in com- mon in Parliament, the discontent grew rapidly within the Labor ranks, and "although the malcon- tents obtained the appointment of an extra minister, this minister was eventually The enmity between the two sec- 'would I @UI The one t\oox V7/0: 18010) 9 118) VAS al AY] [X00 ITE CANON ~ ATMA ) 4 W.

Party. Vigor- ous efforts have heen made to patch up a truce in the guarret, but without success, and in the event it will probably be seen that these seats will be the natural fuc- tor in giving General Smuts his ex- pected majority.

Incidentally the treaty raised a grave constitutional issue. The government, not having a major- ity in 'the senate, decided that the treaty was "purely administrative' and need only be submitted for ap- proval to the popular house. The possibility of the government tak- ing this line was realized when it ommitted to submit the Kellogg anti-war Pact to the Senate, On that occasion the South African party majority in the senate intro- :duced its own resolution approv- {ing of the pact. In the case of the German Treaty it again Introduced own resolution, this time con- |demning it. The essential consti- | tutional point was that the treaty its "competent legislative authority," which in South Africa has hitherto consisted of the king, the senais and the house of assembly.
