The gardener whose planting
area is either predominantly or

richly rewarded by intense cul-

boomers which do well in shade.

tween the brightly contrasting

Many professional growers are
switching over to seed for their
coleus plants. For best results
coleus should be started indoors
(they are subtropical and like
lots Of heat for germination)
and planted out after last frost.
Impatiens-Fully as satisfac-
tory for shade are the lovely i'm
patiens. They are quite tolerant
OF soils, but do like fairly
steady supply of moisture. They
will bloom continuously. reach

according to county agent George
Vapaa. Tests conducted for the
past two seasons indicate that
Natrin is satisfactory for use on
tomatoes when properly applied.
When tomato plants are about
half grown, Natrin can be applied
to prevent further emergence of
weed seedlings. This means that
Immediately before application the
field should be cleaned of weeds
by cultivation, for Natrin will not
kill weeds already emerged-it
only kills terminating seedlings.
Successful tests with Natrin
have been conducted for the past
two seasons at the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station by
e. M. Rain, as well as tests at
the New Jersey and New YORK
Experiment Stations.
Natrin should be applied in a
directed spray, so that only the
lower one-third to one-half of the
tomato plants are hit by the.
spray.
Further details can be obtained
by referring to Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Circular No. "a,

table Crops" This circular may be
obtained at county agent offices or

ably more-perhaps even twice as
much-but the added cost is well
worth the results, says M. w
Staples, field supervisor of the
Davey Tree Expert Co.
In the main, such balled and
burlapped deciduous trees are u.s.
ually about a year ahead of bare
rooted stock in growth and have
a much better chance of survival.
These purchases make sense for
the home owner interested in one
or two good shade trees for his
small property.
A tree actually recovers much
more quickly from the shock OF
moving when it is balled and bur-
Tapped, according to the authority
Bare-rooted stock usually loses
most of its fine hair roots from
handling and shipping. The tree
then must live on its food re-
serves until the hair roots grow
again and become established in
the soil. While the balled tree OBJ
viously does not have its entire
root system, it does have all the
hair roots for the intact portion,
In natural contact with the soil
in which it originally grew, the
root system of the balled tree can
function Immediately.
The extra growth and vitality
enhance the value of the balled
tree. 1t is often good economy for
the home owner to buy a more
expensive smaller tree than a
larger bare-rooted one. The small
er tree will, in most cases, over
take the larger one he had in
mind.
