mariposa lily that they grow in Cali
fornia and could it be grown here?
Mrs. L. T.
A. While this bulb is called a
lily, 1t is really more like a tulip.
1t seems to be a native of California
and adapted to that climate but it is
hardly worth growing in this i'm
mediate climate.
@. 1 am told by the experiment
station that my pecans need fer
tilizing and they give me formula,
see enclosed, would you apply the
fertilizer now or later? w. f.
A. The formula given you is all
right but / would not use now when
the plants are almost at their DOR
mant period and ought not to be
stimulated. Use formula as directed
in January or February. A variation
of formula might be used now. See
letter with formula
@. Ny peonies have died down
which 1 suppose Is but natural Would
you apply a fertilizer now or walt
until spring. ]. T.
A. This 10 the natural period for
peonies to go into a dormant state
and nothing could be gained by APP
plying any stimulant outside Of an
active growing period and real harm
might be done. Hold your fertilizer
now until January or February and
then apply and work in thoroughly.
@. can get all my plants sprayed
now as there Is man spraying the
hedge of my neighbor. Do you
think II would be proper to spray all
of my shrubs including roses? Miss J.
A. Spraying Is rarely ever out of
place. Any time should be based on
previous behavior of plants. II they
showed disease during any recent
] active growing period the thing to
do would be to spray. A regular
spraying campaign ought to be-
adapted and carried out.
Q. What are wild tulips or noun
taintulips? Mrs. A S.
A. They are species of tulips nat
uralized in forests that remain In the
soil indefinitely. come up every
year and flower very early in the
spring. At first the flower appears
as white but on maturity change to
pink and yellow. Bulbs are not freAy
on the market.
Q. have been told that to do
good with sweet peas you must plant
them In the fall Is this correct and
when should / get them in? Mrs. N.
A. 1t Is permissible to plant the
garden sweet peas as early as De-
cember, but there is some doubt about
planting them earlier. There is dan
ger, when planted as early as now,
of the plants becoming too large by
January and becoming killed or seri-
ously injured by freezes and not
bloom at all. December is generally
early enough to plant for good re-
suits.
Q. How deep would you plant Oar
win tulips. about the same as others
or deeper? NJ. A. L.
A. Generally speaking Darwin
tulips should be planted in October
and about six inches deep, the ulti-
mate depth depending somewhat
on the soil, but In outdoor planting
they must not be shallow. Deep
planting and lateness of setting are
great factors in producing firm and
perfect flowers at the natural time
of blooming.
@. Will ordinary cabbage, such as
flat Dutch head set out this late?
D. J. Verbena, Alabama.
A. They may produce small heads
before any freeze could hurt them.
All will depend on winter.
