GARDEN GUIDE r F By A. R. BUCKLEY Piant Research Institute Every year thousands of an- nuals are set out in the Orna- mental Grounds and Test Gar- dens of the Plant Research In- stitute at Ottawa. Included in the planting are many varieties that have already been tested, new and current introductions, and a large number that will be introduced to the trade in future years. These plants are rated on a basis of over-all garden value. Notes are made on resistance to disease, continuity and profu- sion of bloom, substance, adapt- ability, comparative uniformity in size, and habit of growth. Measurements of the size of the flowers and the height and spread of the plant are record- ed The following vatieties were outstanding in the 1964 trials: Ageratum -- For edging and carpeting, these annuals are un- surpassed, New this year are 'Blue Blazer' and 'Blue Mist', two exceptionally compact and uniform. varieties. 'Ping Pong' is an unusual kind with white flow- ers produced in abundance on perfect ball-like mounds. Cockscomb--'Fireball' proved to be far ahead of all other cockscombs because of its ease of growth and its large uniform heads of glowing scarlet flow- ers. Seeds germinate quickly and the plants grow faster than other cockscombs, so this var- Calendula -- The new much- heralded English variety 'Geisha Girl' has incurved blooms, like those of a minia- ture Japanese chrysanthemum, borne on very stiff stems. They are excellent for cutting. 'Geisha Girl' did not -row well during the hot weather of early August but improved later and gave an abundance of shapely flowers from late August to the end of September. The early flowers from June to late July were also of high calibre. Dianthus -- 'Baby Doll' pro- duced many large 24-inch single red, pink, and white flow- ers with a prominent zonal marking, The compact plants, 6 inches high and 8 inches wide, are perfect for the rock garden and borders where a neat plant is desired, Geranium -- 'Nittany Lion' is the first zonale pelargonium to come true to type from seeds, The plants grown in the Test Garden last year were strong and compact and_ produced an abundance of bright-red flow- ers, Germination took only five days and the first fully opened bloom came 100 days later in early July. Plants were still in full bloom when frost occurred in late September. Impatiens -- A new strain called 'Pan American', with separate colors of rose, white- apricot, and red, proved to be exceptionally good in shady places. Plants were dwarf, com- pact and extremely floriferous, Marigold -- The three new varieties that comprise a group known as the Gold Coin series were very good, 'Doubloons' produced large _ light-yellow flowers, 'Sovereign' deeper yel- low, and 'Double Eagle', light- orange. All three had large, uni- form, 5-inch blooms on plants 3 feet high, The most outstanding dwarf French types were 'Fire- flame', with a crested orange centre surrounded by a ring of large red-orange petals, and 'Sparky', with an almost unbe- lievable profusion~ of yellow orange flowers suffused with bronze, Both French varieties should be invaluable for edging and bedding. Nasturtium -- The Jewel mix- ed strain produced, on light soils particularly, an abundance of blooms on very compact moundlike plants. This strain promises to be a boon to those with problems of patio planting because seeds can be sown di- rectly outside and the plants will grow and flower very quickly, Petunia -- Of the thirty-five new varieties tested in 1964 the following rated very highly. 'Appleblossom' has very large single fringed pink flowers, 'Bingo Improved' bears huge blue and white bicolored flow- ers, larger than those of any other variety. 'Meteor' is a pro- fuse-flowering single bicolor with red and white 'flowers. ' abundantly - Annuals From Ageratum, To Snaps *'Moonglow' and 'Brass Band' come nearest to a yellow pe- tunia, They are very effective when planted with other colors, 'Red Desire', 'Rose Desire', 'Pink Desire', and 'White De- sire' varieties, all with striking fringed single flowers, are cellent bedding subjects. 'Sky Magic', a light blue and the best in thi color, is a good compact variety. 'Venus' is an effective, flowering, single pink, Snapdragons -- 'Floral Car- pet' is a sensational new dwarf snapdragon introduced for the first time Jast year in mixtures only. Now a series in separate colors, led by 'Floral Carpet Rose', is available, All varieties in this series have an abundance of blooms on very compact moundlike plants and they are useful for bedding. Last year they were in bloom from June until the killing frosts of the fall. Plants were a uniform height of not more than 12 inches, Sweet Peas -- A new strain called Royal Family, in separate colors of deep rose, cream pink, and cream, proved to be toler- ant of hot weather, Seeds sown outside in early April produced long - stemmed multiflorous bloom from July until killing frost at the end of September. Plants of another strain, the dwarf Bijou, grew to less than a foot high and produced large blooms of beautiful pastel colors, THE HOME and, you can make them yourself; by the simple method shown in Pattern 234, It also shows a way to make storm sash that is well within the capability of| the home craftsman with ordi- nary hand tools.

Appointment to "'the most noble order of the garter" is the Queen's personal gift. The order was instituted in the mid- die of the 14th century.

April 30, the last of these patrols will be launched from this lonely north Pacific island, 1,100 miles northwest of Hono- lulu. Then, the Distant Early Warning Line extension will be ended, The 71-ton "'Connies" will, for the most part, be placed in the inactive reserve. The defence department or- dered an end to the patrol be- cause of the 'declining nature of a manned bomber threat." There has been no announce- ment as to what, if anything, will replace it. In 1958, the decision was made to close the gap through which the West Coast of North America was vulnerable to pos- sible attack by manned, super- clear payloads, LINE LENGTHENED What happened was that the Distant Early Warning Line stretching across the Canadian Arctic was lengthened, : Radar picket ships patrolled the north Pacific. Their job was much the same as the aircraft. sonic enemy bombers with nu-| Patrols Month The planes and ships all were part of the Airborne Early Warning Barrier, Pacific, whose nerve centre was Barber's Point naval air base near Hono- lulu. 't was from Midway Island however, that the planes flew. The Barrier squadron was the largest in the U.S. Navy with 26 aircraft manned and main- tained by 340 officers and 1,700 men, ; Each Constellation with/Itssix tons of electronic eauipmdnt jearried a crew of about 20, h of these being "scope watch- ers."' These men peered at four radar screens watching for "blips" as their planes flew north. The "blips" could mean enemy attackers. Much of the expanse from Midway Island to the Aleutians is shrouded in fog. The same fog that hid Japanese ships ap- proaching Pearl Harbor and Midway in December, 1941. Canada has not participated in operation of the airborne and seaborne extensions of the DEW Line. The DEW Line, which extends lacross the Arctic from Alaska to eastern Greenland, is still in full operation, The Mid-Canada Warning Line across the 55th These, too, are being with- drawn.
