Garden
Notes

Disbudding the large-fowering
varieties Of dahlias at this season
Of the year requires considerable
fortitude. The buds should be re-
moved, however. to conserve the
plants strength for later bloom.
Dahlia bloom, especially on the
large Towering varieties, is apt to
be rather small at this season and
they do not last well when cut. 1t
is much better to keep the buds
pinched of until the first Of Sep
tember and to have good flowers in
September and October.
Beginning in September, remove
the side buds, retaining only the
terminal buds.
Use a copper spray or dust on
lilies, sulphur on roses and either
sulphur or copper on delphiniums.
Spray or dust frequently. These
daily rains greatly increase the fun
gus diseases.
If insects are troublesome, poison
may be added to whatever dust or
spray you use.
All gardeners who have carefully
staked the tomatoes have much to
their credit. Because of the contin-
ued rain, even staked fruit is ripen-
ing slowly. Much of that lying on
the ground is rotting before it
ripens.
If you, too, have been unfortunate
enough to have black spot infesta-
ton there is lots of work ahead
for you. If you will pick of all
leaves which are spotted, being
careful also to pick up those which
fall to the ground, and burn them
all, then thoroughly spray or dust
the roses and the ground beneath
and around them, you will do much
to wipe out the dreaded infesta-
ton. You can't cure blackspot by
sprays and dusts, but you can pre-
vent it by an adequate spray or
dust program. So first of all, try
to prevent black spot. Buff you
have it visited upon you, first clean
house thoroughly and then follow
faithfully a program of sprays or
dusts. Next year you should reap
the benefit.
August is the month to give ever
greens and hedges the last shearirg
lof the season. Shearing stimulates
the growth of latent buds and it
should be done early enough so that
the new growth will develop and
harden (mature) before winter sets
in. 1t is the soft, sappy growth that
is winter killed. Prune early and
avoid winter killing.
X
Watering woody and herbaceous
plants that have completed their
seasons growth is apt to stimulate
them into new unreasonable growth.
For such plants it is desirable to
withhold the water. Succulent and
vigorous growing plants, such as
dahlias and chrysanthemums, how
ever, need ample moisture at this
season Of the year.
r \ \ X
A few bags Of half -rotted leaves
from the woods scattered over your
wild flowers will make them feel at
home this winter.
4 4
The gardener who saves his flower
seed should plant the seed of the
tenufolium lily in August. 1t is
quite easy to grow from seed and
blossoms the second year. The first
year after planting it is easy to mis-
take the seedlings for grass, but be
patient and do not disturb until fall
"a year after planting the seed.
The bulbs will have reached good
size by that time and will need to be
transplanted to their permanent To-
cation.
