This Week in the Garden

The weather stays cool and
rainy and the weeds and grass
grow and grow. Many gardeners
are beginning to be discouraged
at the rate grass grows. Weekly
cuttings do not seem to keep UP
with the growth. Normally lima
beans. corn, peppers, eggplant and
other hot-weather crops should be
planted by this time, but the soil
is still too cold. they would only
stand still. In other words, the
calendar is not always the de-
pendable guide. better wait until
the soil is warm enough for good
growth.
The same applies to those who
are waiting for warm, sunny
weather so as to use chemical
weed killers on honeysuckle, poison
ivy and other weeds of lawn and
garden. These materials are most
effective when the temperature is
above rs degrees. the sun is shin
ing brightly and the weeds are
young and in active growth. An
application while the weather is
cool. however, may be effective on
those weeds most susceptible to
the chemical. Warm weather is
needed to get the tough ones.
Spraying is needed to keep the
roses and other plants free from
disease and insect pests. Sprays
iare the most persistent materials
but they do not last long during
periods of frequent showers, but
neither do the dusts. The latte,
are easiest to apply. It makes
little difference which are used
as long as the job is thoroughly
done and the foliage Is covered
with a protective fungicide and
|insecticide. A good all-purpose
dust or spray will do the Job

particularly upon the attention
which can be sdevoted to the
plants. For example. 1t Is pos

certain amount of spraying will
be needed to protect the plants
from the azalea lacefly and the

DR.. Shull said living costs have

to protect the vines from blight.
Moreover. in the outlying sub
urban areas land turtles usually
feast on the green fruit of un-

bit of a chore, but the returns
are more than compensation for
the extra work and they yield as
much or more per square foot

having fruit in your own yard will

upon keeping that fruit protected
