Dahlias. Among Flower Exhibits at Fair
By MARGARET SMITH Times Garden EKditer
HIS week's State Fair visitors will see a dah-
lia show tomorrow. That's
inthe horticulture build-
ing, of course. Single blooms and baskets will vie with a spectacular “100 blooms or over” for attention. The rest of the week corsages, arrangements and baskets and vases of flowers will be changed each day to provide fresh displays. One of the more interesting farm exhibits, as in other years, will be various Indiana grown nuts from English walnuts and pecans to chestnuts, heartnuts and filberts. » » ® I'M HOPING this year’s fair will show (as last year’s did) some Johnson grass. This, as I remember it, was in the Purdue building. And with it goes a story of man’s ingenuity. That lovely ability all of us have and so often fail to cultivate, of taking a lemon and making lemonade out of it. A couple of years back I read about the dangerous Johnson grass. How it was marching across the plains taking over whole fields. But it all sounded like a writer getting excited about nothing. How could a mere grass be such a calamity?
Then, at last year's Fair, I |
Don't Neglect
Cultivation
While weeds are not so numerous in summer, neglect of cultivation will allow so many to grow that your garden may be seriously handicapped. Shallow cultivation after every rain, or irrigation, will kill the sprouts which may have started from weed seeds remaining in the soil.
Why we have grown to be the largest re-upholster-ing firn? in the State?
WE DO!
It's quality work plus high dollar value!

saw Johnson grass. A super glant of a grass. And it spreads like fire. No wonder the farm magazine was excited. But now it comes out that plant breeders have crossed Johnson grass with what do you suppose? A sorghum that adds a sweet taste to its tough hardihood. The resulting plant doesn’t spread the way its threatening parent does. But cattle like it and thrive on it
Pansies definitely are not mid-summer flowers. Not in Indianapolis.’ But Mrs. Josephina Meister, 3034 Kenwood Ave, and her daughter Elsie Dobson, have a bed full of pansies right now. They're from home gathered seed. The plants got watered freely this summer. and Mrs. Meister makes it a point to bring some “country dirt” back with her whenever
she visits friends outside the city.
A PLEASANTLY communityminded gesture is reported by . Walter Holt, superintendent of Holliday Park. Willlam Zickler, well-known local iris hybridizer, has presented 22 settings (that's three plants each) of iris to the park. And by next year Mr. Zickler plans to com-

NYBODY can raise himself a gladiolus that’s completely different frond all the other glads in the world. It's easy, says George Gannon, local glad expert. He's done it. A prize winner; too. It's a medium rose glad that produces as many as 22 florets on a single spike. Mr. Gannon named it “Jean R.” for his daughter, Mrs. John W. Dodds Jr, who lives at 2823: E. 36th St. Jean R. has ‘won the American Home Achievement Award, a medal for most outstanding seedling and other ribbons and awards. But Mr. Gannon has a critical eye developed in judging many a show of hopeful new introductions, ” ~ » -SO HE SAYS, “Jean R. has one bad fault.” Though it may open nearly 20 of its many florets at a single time, “too many of them face to the side instead of full front.” At least that's what Mr. Gannon considers a fault. If you want to raise original glads the lazy way, he says, you just let your flowers go to seed and gather whatever (hey produce. If you want to control the percentage it takes a bit more doing. For example, it was a cross of the popular soft pink Picardy and a deep” rose red glad, Dream of Beauty, that produced Jean R. That involves cutting away stamens of one flower, rubbing pollen from the other
