This year. with a drought of
long standing, it is particularly
important to apply additional
nitrogen for fall growth. Many
pastures have lost much of their
legume stand, and weather con-
ditions have been unfavorable
for adequate fixing of nitrogen
in the soil so far this season.
To prevent excessive burning,

How to StoIf Them
Normally gardeners buy start
ed plants which may be set out
either in the early spring or In
late September. However, plants
may be raised from seed which
should be sown in the early
spring. Seedlings from fall
sown seed will need 10 be carried
over winter Ii q cold frame. Old
plants may be divided III the
early spring. but preferably in
the early fall. Plants may be
raised from cuttings Of young
shoots taken in the early fan
and rooted in sand. They, too,
should be carried over winter In
cold frame.
Violas should not be planted
where violets have been grown
as there Is q chance OF the soil
being infected with disease.
Set plants s inches to q foot
apart. They make stable mounds
within a year. Mulch the plants
with well-rotted manure or rich
compost if you would have win
ter bloom. as well as protect
them from soil "heaving"
through the alternate action ,of
freezing and thawing.
Control by Insecticides
Most diseases can be controlled
by cleaning up the viola border
or bed, removing the old foliage
and mulching with fresh COM
post In the late fall when the
plants are more or less dormant.
Insects are more Of q problem
and the viola is frequently q

hence can be q focal point for
infesting other plants. However,
this pest as well as any others
that might be around can be
controlled with sulphur dust,
Malathion. Aramite and other
miticides. A strong blast from
the hose is helpful in protecting
from both diseases and insect
pests.
The viola is q neat mound of
beauty and deserves much more
attention than it normally re-.
ceives. Perhaps that is because
some may assume that is as
invasive and Weedlike as the
common violet so often is. That
is not true. the viola is a very
well-behaved plant and needs
only q chance to display its
qualities.

Deep Moisture Devices
It is oftentimes a bit difficult
to get enough moisture into the
soil to reach the roots Of woody
plants and the devices that at
tach to the end OF the hose and
place the water deep into the
ground are helpful. There are
several on the market and except
In stony soil will do the work

ture deep into the soil is bene-
fetal in that the root area is
moistened and the roots do not
have to come to the surface for
the water they need, as is so
often the case with shallow
surface watering.
Peach trees with pale green
foliage may be suffering from
any one of several things. The
soil may be too dry; nitrogen
may be deficient, or they NAV
be infested with the peach tree

be supplied, but it is difficult to
dig out the borers. Treating the

This Week in the Gorden

The weather man did favor
US with cool weather, but the
ground was so hard last week
end it could scarcely be dented.
Most Of the time was taken UP
with giving the azaleas and
roses q good soaking to keep
them from standing still, some
were whiting. The chrysanthe-
NUNS need attention, too, If
they are to make a good show
ing this fall. Watering and feed
ing are musts If they are to de-
velop properly.
MiIdew
The cool nights and hot days,
which are rather unusual for
this season, have brought mildew
into many gardens. Sulphur, the
old standard control. cannot be
used when temperatures go
above IS degrees because of the
danger Of leaf burn. However,
the new fungicide, Karathane, is
an effective control. It is sold
under several trade names and
should be available locally. If it
cannot be purchased then, the
only alternative is to blast the
foliage Of infected plants with
as strong a stream Of water as
possible. II the washing is suf-
f1cient to remove the surface
coating, then one Of the ordinary
.fungicides will usually check the
mildeW.

Tomoto End Rot,

The dry weather Is producing
an unusual amount Of blossom
end rot" OF tomatoes. Tomatoes
are peculiar plants. When any
thing is out of balance the plant
takes it away from the fruit. In
other words the circular sunken
area at the blossom end is not
a rot but is a physiological con-
dition. It is usually prevalent
when the tomatoes are fed a diet
too rich Id nitrogen, when the
soil is too dry. or when the soil
Is so water-logged that the roots
cannot get enough air. Some
gardeners produce blossom end
rot when they over-water, but
more than likely 1t Is caused BY
lack Of moisture this season.
