How can you convert the bar
rem expanse of clay that surrounds
your home into a flower garden
without waiting a year or more?
Answer: Plant a few well-chosen
ANIMALS, bulbs and perennials.
The more desirable trees and
shrubs will need to wait until fall
or early spring, but there are
enough plants that can be tucked
in now or even as late as mid
May and still produce the color
and beauty desired. 1t may not be
magic but it will help to make the
yard homelike regardless Of how
uninviting it seemed at first.
But don't expect the seeds or
plants to do all the work. Our
soils require preparation, Only a
few gardeners will be able to pro-
cure well-rotted stable manure to
fork into the beds as a conditioner,
but the rest may use peatmoss.
compost, leafmold. rotted sawdust,
peanut hulls: in fact. any kind OF
plant material to keep the soil
from packing and to give 1t
moisture holding capacity. A
little commercial fertilizer mixed
in with the humus (decayed plant
material, will aid the plants to a
good. vigorous start.
The following are suggested as
being dependable in the Washing
ton area:

Clover and Alfalfa
Stem Rot Severe

Widespread damage from stem
rot on clover and alfalfa. and
from black stem on alfalfa. was
noted by q team Of plant disease
and crop specialists from v. p. /
on a recent tour Of Virginia.
Stem rot was especially bad on
alfalfa planted late last fall. Many
fields of Ladino are dying In
Northern and Middle Virginia
counties.
Crimson and red clover are un-
usually hard hit. and damp. cool
weather is blamed. As q correc-
tive measure. follow q crop ro-
tation when possible-that is, do
not plant clover or alfalfa on land
that has grown either crop for
about three years.
