@. How many times during the
year should a complete balanced
plant food be used on lawns,
shrubbery and trees so as to
achieve the best possible results
at the least possible cost?
A. One cannot give a definite,
positive. specific reply to this ques-
ton because local climatic and soil
conditions have bearing on this.
For instance. sandy soils are not
retentive of plant food and moisture.
therefore, in regions where sandy
soil prevails. more benefit will be
received by plants from plant food
if light and frequent applications
are applied. This enables the plant
to utilize the food before it teaches
from the soil, and insures constant
supply of plant food. whereas in
this type of soil liberal applications
of plant food, at distant intervals,
would result in feast-and- famine
condition for the plant, and much
plant food might be lost in teaching
On the other hand, where there is
plenty of organic matter present
in the SOIL and it is retentive of
both food and moisture. so that
quite a reserve Of food may be MAIN
tanned in the soil. more liberal ap-
plications can profitably be made
at wider intervals.
In general. to keep lawns healthy
and thriving and weed-free feed in
early spring and again in fall. Feed
shrubs in the early spring and. If
desired. make several additional
feelings at six to eight week inter-
walls during the growing season
Early Towering shrubs will especially
benefit by an application of plant
food just after the blooming period,
when the spent blooms are removed
and the shrubs are pruned. If these
are healthy one feeding annually
should be sufficient and feeding may
safely be done at any time during
the year when the ground is not
frozen. Two of the most desirable
periods for feeding are: Early spring,
Just as the trees are leafing out. or
late fall, just after trees are DOR
mant.

the soil is 50 acid or alkaline that

The Garden Notebook
Give Tall Chrysanthemums and
Dahlias Adequate Support

Early preparation of the soil will
insure smooth lawn by allowing
it to thoroughly settle before seed
ing. Once seed is sown there is
very little opportunity to fill in low
spots and shave off the hills. Pre-
quent raking aids the termination
of weed seeds and their destruction.
Dahlias are making strong growth
and need to be kept securely staked.
Use soft twine or strips of cloth to
avoid cutting the stems. Chrysan-
themums may need stalking, although
string, supported by stakes, on either
side of the row serves to keep them
upright without individual stalking.
A liberal feeding and disbudding
produces the finest quality of
flowers.
Remove the spent spikes of the
hardy phlox to encourage the for
nation of new flower bulbs. If left
untouched the seeds will ripen and
the chances are some undesirable
Seeding will crowd out the carefully
planted variety now growing there.
The dwarf bedding dahlias, such
as the Coltness and Unwin strains,
are in full flower. For indoor deco
ration they are satisfactory, while in
the garden their flowers make
very pleasing show. especially when
planted in the foreground. Consid-
ering the ease with which they are
raised from seed it is surprising that
more gardeners do not use them.

To keep rosebushes blooming in

constant cutting back of the bushes
