Plan Garden Operations
For Size and Effect

In selecting flower and vege-
table seeds for your garden, let
your personal preference be your
guide to colors, variety and types
of vegetables.

tomatoes and radishes. plant
more of them rather than other
vegetables.

color preferences are reflected
in the decor within the home
Let this follow through with your
outdoor decor.
There must be balance inside
the home TO make a pleasing
arrangement. The same goes for
the yard. There is 10 point IN

Place the smaller flowers such

For a circular or isolated flow

Vegetable Gardens

small area can be surprisingly

planned.
A space roughly comprising
1000 square feet can provide
enough fresh vegetables for a

lighted. Water once or twice a
week to keep the soil moist but
not wet.
! After danger of frost is past
the pots or cans should be set
into the soil in a partially shaded
situation. Do not attempt to
remove the plants from the con-
tainer until the roots are well
established. probably next fall.
1t is safest to set the pots with
the tops a wee bit above the
level of the ground and. of
course, they should be kept well
mulched. Place them in an area
that is not exposed to strong
winds which might take too
much moisture from the leaves.
The root system will not be func-
tioning sufficiently TO counterfeit
the loss of moisture.
Location of the Plants
Only a few Of the Japonica
camellias can withstand full sun
and then the bushes should be
5 or 6 years OLD; small plants
of the best of the sun lovers
can seldom withstand full sun.
There is some division of opinion
as to whether the east or the
west side of the house is best.
All agree. however. that the
north side is a good location.

for this purpose. Some go as far
as using the FISH oil emulsion.
but that is q bit smelly although
the plants seem to enjoy it. A
few will risk feeding into the
middle of the summer. but these
tender southern beauties should
be fed early enough in the sea-
son so that the new growth will
have ample time to mature be-
fore cold weather. 1t is better
to err on the side Of early feed
ing than the late.
The Seasons Of Bloom
There is considerable Varla-
ton in the season OF bloom of
the many camellia varieties
available for this area. Some
will flower in the fall, others in
the winter and then there are
those that flower in the early
spring.
The nurserymen refer 10 the
latter as late boomers. The
major portion Of our selections
should come from this group
the late boomers.
OF course all will want some
of the mid-season bloomers and
some of the mid TO late season,
an in-between group. This gives
a fairly long season of bloom.
except when cold weather holds
them back and they all come
into bloom at once. That. how
ever. is not a normal spring for
this area
Camellia varieties vary greatly
in habit of growth Some are
upright, almost like a tree. others
are bushy and spreading, They
may be pruned to almost any
shape desired. but most camellia
growers prefer to do as little
pruning as possible
1t is not necessary to top a

as is the case with the azalea

experienced grower.
The soil mixture to use in the
planting hole should be composed
OF one-third each Of sand. gar
den loan. and peat moss. The
planting hoie might we'll have q
point of soil in the center which
will help to prevent the camellia
from settling. Deep planting
must be avoided as it is usually
fatal to the plant. If the hcle
can be prepared for in advance

soil mixture will be
thoroughly settled before plant
ing time the earth cone is I'M
necessary.
In planting the camellia it is
important that ample allowance
be made for the settling. and
after that has taken place the
old earth line on the stem might
well be an inch or mole above
the soil level. This will of course,
result in the crown more or less
above the round level.
Pull the specially prepared soil
up to It ana then cover
the entire area with good
mulch; pine needles are one OF
the best.
Until Frost Is Gone
In the case of the bare-rooted
camcllias it is not safe to plant
them out of doors until mid
April. after danger of frost is
past.
In the meantime. the camel
las should be planted in pots or
cans. preferably the after.
Use plenty of drainage ma

can and then fill with tie soil

SECURITY FOR YOU
Plan Tied
ToSpecific
Disability
BY RAY HENRY

The question Of how disabled
| q person has TO be to collect
Social Security disability pay
ments keeps showing up In my
mail.
The simple fact Is: There Is
no pat answer TO the question.
Each disability case is
considered separately. And.
whether or not payments are
approved depends on the facts
or each case.
But. there are two questions
which are always involved:
Is the person able to do any
substantial amount of work
with reasonable regularity?
Is the persons disability ex-
|pected TO continue for q long
and indefinite period Of time.
or to result In his death?
In trying to get an answer
to the first question. the So
cial Security people first con-
slider the severity Of the dis
ability Is shown by medical
evidence.
In general. the evidence must
show that the person must be
unable 10 do such things as
move about. handle objects,
hear. speak. understand or
reason.
Examples Listed
The Social Security Admins
tration gives these as examples
Of what ordinarily would be
considered severe disabilities:
/. The loss Of use Of two arms
or legs.
2. Certain diseases such as
diabetes. multiple scIerosis, or
Buerger's disease which have
resulted In the loss or loss Of
use Of an arm or q leg.
3. Disease Of heart. lungs or
blood vessels which has re-
suited in major loss Of heart or
lung reserve. This must be
lung reserve. This must be
shown BY x-ray. electrocardio-
gram or other objective find-
ings.
4. Cancer which can't be re-
moved by an operation and
which Is getting progressively
worse.
5. Damage to the brain or a
brain abnormality which has
resulted In the severe loss Of
judgment, intellect. orientation
or memory.
9. Mental disease requiring
continued disqualification or
supervision Of the patient.
Z. Blindness or near blind
ness.
Q. Permanent and total loss
Of speech.
.. Total deafness which can't
be corrected by q hearing aid.
Even These Not Definite
Even In cases such as these.
the Social Security people
hedge. They say that In some
cases people with such severe
disabilities are, able to work.
II they are. then disability pay
ments are ruled out.
For example: Suppose q
matchmaker loses both legs in
an auto accident. II he RECEIVERS
and is able to go back to work
because Of his special knowl-
edge and skill. no payments for
his disability will be made.
In trying to get an answer as
to whether q persons disability
Is expected to continue for a
long and indefinite period Of
time. the Social Security people
also have some guides.
It says it uses the term Elm
definite" TO mean that the per-
son can't be expected to re-
cover from his disability In the
foreseeable future.
Thus. for example. q person
who suffers q severe broken
arm that would prevent him
from working for q long time
but will allow him to 60 back
to work acknowledgements
be eligible for disability pay
ments.
