Stake Plants
To Retain
Beauty
Tall.Growing Types
Need Protection
Against Storms

Failure to provide stakes to keep
stems of the tall-growing flowers
straight is one Of the average gar
dening neglects. The fine stalk of a
zinnia appears sufficiently strong to
support the bloom; so does the
Towering stem of delphinium
However, when there are strong
winds or heavy rains, the flowers
are often beaten down to the
ground, and seldom do they fully
recover. This can be prevented by
stalking.
While stalking can be beneficial
and not detract from the gardens
appearance, it can also be made
very much of an eyesore. There is
no reason for this. since there are
available a large assortment of
stakes made from metal, wood and
tonkon. a sort of bamboo stick, in
expensively priced, at most seed
and garden stores All can be driven
or pushed into the soil to provide
stout anchorage for any stem. Soft
cord or raffia can be used to prop.
erly support the plants.
The trick in tying plants to sticks
is to first make sure that the cord
is securely tied to the stick. A LOOP
is then tied around the plant SC
that it may have limited but not
injurious sway. Tie the plant
tightly to the stick and you Sc.
riously injure it. AS the plant in
creases in height, other ties car
be made higher up on the stick.
