There are also available IN
Some localities, certified seed
potatoes which are small, whole

more desirable than the pieces
of seed because they are less
likely TO become infected with

CoIorful Mixture

The Giant Marguerite type
comes as a mixture and includes
many colorS. This type pro-
duces large and fragrant flow
ers and is winter-hardy if given
sufficient protection.
Enfant de Nice carnations are
also half hardy perennials. often
grown as ANIMALS, and come in
mixture. c b u d 5 Giant
Double carnations have flowers
measuring two inches or more
across and are best grown this
year for flowers next. though
there may be some blooms the
first year.
The types given are all large
flowered ones such as might
properly be called carnations.
But don't forget there are many
quick growing annual garden
pinlts that do not have the
size of bloom that a carnation
does, but do have the same in
tense fragrance and wide
variety of colors with interest
ing markings. A few in the
garden are always popular with
visitors and the owners Of the
garden as well.

Modern Planting

Modern planting puts pota-
toes in rows rather than sep
arate hills. This row method
saves much space in home gar
dens so is given here. Trenches
five to six inches deep are dug
from two TO three feet apart.
In the bottom of the trench
goes a special potato fertilizer
if obtainable. Such a one
would have an analysis similar
10 5-10-10. If il cannot be
bought, then use the victory
garden analysis of 4-S-4. This
may be spread 10 a depth of
Il inch along the trench. then
thoroughly mixed with the soil
at the bottom Now an inch of
unfertilized soil is pulled into
the trench so the tuberS will
not come in contact with the
fertilizer.
The pieces Of seed or the
whole seed potatoes are spaced
regularly from 10 to II inches
apart in the row and covered
with 3 inches of soil. This
completes the planting opera
ton.
Seed is usually set about a
month before the last frost may
be expected. With the ground
as wet as il has been. now
should be a perfect time 10
plant potatoes. Both early and
late varieties may be put in at
the same time, since the late
kinds take longer 10 mature
than the earleS.

phosphorus. These are supple
mented by such clements as
zinc, boron, sulphur, magnes-
ium, ete.s of which the plant
needs perhaps only a trace.
The best fertilizers contain
all of these, the first three. IN
such proportions that they
should provide most crops with
all that is needed of each kind.
An analysis such as 4-12-4
meaning 4 per cent nitrogen,
y per cent phoSphoric acid
containing phoSphorus), and q
per cent potash, plus the trace
elements is a good all-round
fertilizer. A cheaper sort may
contain but 3 per cent nitrogen
and nothing more.
1t pays in hard cash to read
the analysis on the fertilizer
bag. Unless the label says
available" or water soluble"
before the names of the various
chemicals. take it for granted
that they will be in the soil
awhile before the plant can
absorb them.

Lawns Infested
With Grubs

MANY REPORTS come in OF
lawns infested with grubs which
eat the grass plants at the
roots These grubS- are prob
ably the larvae of the common
June bug. If the infeStation is
severe, the best thing to do is
to treat the entire lawn area
with arsenate of lead.
Figure on 10 pounds Of lead
arSenate per 1000 square feet
of lawn; mix the powder with
several times its weight of sand,
peat. or compost and apply IT
evenly over the area This
treatment, unfortunately kills
the earthwormS in the soil as
we'll as the grubS, so should be
.fesorted to only if really neces-
sary.
Water we'll when the lead
arsenate has been spread. Early
spring or late fall are ideal
times for this treatment. sum
mer is a poor time because OF
heat on the plants.

Are Hardy

MOTHERS DAY is a good
time 10 talk about the Mothers
Day AeWeF-the eaFhatioH. The
beautiful blooms shown at the
right are greenhouse carnations,
but flowers Just as lovely may
be had on plants OF hardy car
nations grown outdoors in the
garden.
The spicy scent Of carnations
is we'll known and widely en-
joyed. their color range is eX-
cellent for mixing with other
garden flowers and they bloom
profusely during the summer,
which makes them a most de-
slrable plant.
Large Qowered perennial car
nations include the following
named varieties of Latifolius
species: Beatrice. a pink. cluster
flowered type; Silver Mine, the
same thing in pure white; Furst
Bismark, another of the same
type but dark pink in color, and
the Highland Hybrfds which
come as a mixture of many diff
ferent shades.

Potato
OfOWtnO

0UR most important root crop
" Is the potato. Actually the
part we eat and plant is a
tuber. a place of food storage
for the plant on which il grew,
The tubers kept from one year
TO the next are made up Of
stored food and growing points
or buds which We call eyes. -
What We call a seed potato
is-usually a piece Of theNuber
containing one or more eyes"
and enough of the stored food
TO enable the eyes 10 start
growth and produce leaves.
After thQ/ leaves are growing.
they viii make the feed, store
some of il in new tubers and
thus provide US with potatoes
again
So. we start with the seed
potatoes. These are best bought
as certified seed. This word
means that they have been in
spectcd three times and are
certified to-haVe- ne mere than
a certain percentage of disease
evidence. II is sometimes pos
sible TO buy seed that is one
year from certified. This Is the
next best buy.

New HYBRID

Then there is a new hybrid
called Old Spice which is said
10 rival the greenhouse carna-
tionS in size. This is salon pink
in color
The species plumarius has
several named varieties ihelHd-
ing Essex Witch, a delicate pink
and Her Majesty of pure white.
Both are fully double.
Turning to the annual carna-
tionS, we find that the Grenadin
carnations will bloom the first
year from seed and will repeat
the second year, if they survive
the winter. These are really
half hardy perennialS, but we
consider them -aHHualls-in- this
climate. Colors include white,
rose, yellow, scarlet and black. !"

Chemical Combinations

There is another question.
having to do with the avail
ability Ito the planU TO the
chemicals in the fertilizer. Since
the plant can take its nouriSh-
ment only by means of the root
hairs which absorb liquid, the
fertilizing elements must be in
solution to reach the plant and
do II any good.
There are several possible
chemical combinations which
may be used in fertilizers, in
some of which the plant nour-
ishing parts are readily Solu-
bic and i'm others of which they
take a long time to dissolve.
The fertilizers containing the
most readily soluble forms are
usually those highest in price.

Reset

is possible TO reset all bulbs
Immediately after dividing. but
many people do not wish to do
this as they need the space in
which the bulbs grow for other
flowers. In this case. the lifted
bulbs may be carefully dried,
stored in a dry cool place for
the summer then divided and
reset in early fall. The only
bttlbS that seem to profit by
being out of the ground all
summer are tulip-and even in
this case, the difference is not
great.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-13

THERE ARE fertilizers and
i fertilizers. THE prices Of
some are high, of others are
lew, and the gardener who buys
by price alone gets just exactly
what he pays for In other
words commercial fertilizers are
mixtures of the chemicals neceS-
sary for the nourishment of
plants.
The best contain the three
chemicals needed in greatest
quantity plus a host of lesser
ones that are lust as vital 10
the plant, but of which il needs
only a little. The cheapest fer
tilizers usually contain but a
single chemical or possibly two.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-13
Bulbs Need
Attention

ELOWERING bulbs such as
Il tulips and narcissi and
others of the early-blooming
tribe should be fed with a COM
plete fertilizer just as soon as
they finish blooming. This gives
nouriShment from which the
leaves make food for the plant,
which is in turn stored in the
bulb for next years flowers.
