Thu. Week in the Garden

The 1948 crop of seed cata-
logues is beginning to arrive and
much time can be spent with
them while making 1913 garden
plans. Most catalogues are writ
ten in the superlative, but they
also contain much useful infor-
nation. If you do not receive
all OF the catalogues you need,
lend post CARDS and request those
desired.
Garden plans should include
all necessary information, such
as the length of row or number
of plants needed, planting dates.
expected maturity and yield,
varieties, etc. These facts will all
be needed in buying seed and
plants and in planting them.
Make your plan show the con-
tinuity Of harvests, etc.

Do not be in too big a hurry
to start seed indoors. Most plants
take only 6 to 8 weeks from
seed sowing until they should be
ready for planting out of doors.
If started too early it may be
difficult to keep them growing
indoors without being checked"

want to raise them, onion plants

Writer Reviews Garden Varieties Grown in 1914
Some Introductions Proved Superior in This Area;
More Time Is Needed to Fully Test Others

Fordhook and Burpee, were some
what troubled with leaf spot as
were the older ones, such as Mar
globe and Rutgers.
The potato blight which destroyed
our tomatoes in 1916 did not in
wade the garden this year if the
vines were sprayed with the new
fungicide containing dithane. OF
course, they were planted in a diff
ferent section of the garden than
last year, and the old vines had
been burned. A number of local
gardeners had trouble with the po-
tato blight in 1947, so it is quite
likely that the spraying was effec-
tive in keeping it under control
in many gardens this past season.
None of the new hybrid tomatoes
appeared to be better than standard
varieties such as Marglobe and
Rutgers. However, tests another
year may bring out significant
points in their favor.
The 1947 crop of new varieties
was most interesting and produced
many worthwhile additions for our
gardens. We are looking forward
to the 1948 introductions. 1t is
fun to try them out, but we must
grow them on equal terms with
standard varieties in order to judge
their merits.
