situation where 1t can be mois-
tened as necessary.
It takes from three to four
weeks for the cuttings to become
well-rooted, although If they are
placed where there is bottom
heat the period may be reduced
nearly a half. Most gardeners
prefer to take their cuttings in
late April and to have them
ready for setting out in mid MAY
or even later.
The rooted cuttings are spaced
the same as the divisions: Gar
den hardies. is to 10 inches;
disbuds. 10 to IL inches.
Set Stakes Early
Some gardeners set the stakes
for their plants at time of plant
ing. using 3-foot bamboo stakes
for the garden hardies and S.
foot stakes for the disbuds. The
plants should be kept tied to the
stakes. 1t takes about three or
four ties for the average stem.
1t is desirable to mulch the
bed to keep the soil from crust
ing: to controi weeds; 70 keep
the soil from splashing upon the
lower leaves which is the usual
source Of leaf nematodes, and
still more important to keep the
soil cool. These shallow rooted
plants thrive best In a cool moist
soil. Pine needles. compost, peat
moss, leafmold. sawdust or SINH
lar materials may be used. tFor
leaf nematodes, spray with DOT. }
The feeding program will de-
pend upon the kind Of bloom de-

In the Spring Prepare for Fall
By W. n. YOUN6MAN

At least the first half of the
old adage, lin spring prepare
for fall: in fall prepare for
Ispring," applies to the chrysan-
themum grower. He will soon
be out preparing the planting
bed in which to put out the
divisions of his old plants, or
if he is a chrysanthemum fan
cier, to receive his rooted cut
tlngs. Because chrysanthemums
are shallow-rooted plants it is
important that the bed be we'll
settled before planting time.
The gardener usually prepares
such a bed by digging in a lib
eral supply of compost. The
chrysanthemum fancier will
also add about five pounds of
dolomitic limestone. four pounds
of superphosphate and four
pounds Of a 5-10-5 mixed fer
tilizer per 100 square feet of
bed. This will be thoroughly
mixed into the soil at the time
of spading.
Select the Strong Ones
Now that the NUNS are grow
ing strongly we should be pre-
pared to lift and divide the old
clumps as soon as the shoots
are 8 to 10 inches tall Select
only those that are strong and
healthy and have a goodly num-
Der Of roots. Space the shoots
from is to 10 inches apart in
the bed in rows "a inches apart.
The fancier will take the top
3 or 4 inches from the shoots
and root them in sand. since
this seems to be a surer way
OF avoiding some diseases.
To root cutting remove the
leaves from the lower half. It
should than be dipped into
solution containing a miticide
such as Malathion and q fungi
eide such as Fermate or Captain.
Then dip the cut end of the cut
ting into a roofing hormone be-
fore inserting it into a roofing
medium such as sand, sand-peat.
or vermiculite. Space the cut
tings about 2 inches apart and
firm he roofing medium about
them. The box or pot Of cut
tings may then be placed in
light shade where it is protected
from sun and drying winds. It
is necessary to keep the roofing
medium moist but not wet.
Rolling in Polyethylene
A newer method of roofing
mum cuttings consists of spread
ing a layer Of damp spaghnum
moss on a strip of polyethylene.
The cuttings are then laid with
the cut ends in the moss and the
leafy tips extending over the side
OF the strip. When all are in
place the strip of polyethylene is
folded over them and loosely
rolled. The leafy tips Of the cut
tings extend above the polyethy-
lene. The roll should be loosely
tied and placed in a protected

pinched two or three times dur
ing the early growing period,
all except the cushions or aza-
leamums as some call them. The
garden hardies might well be
given the first pinching at plant
ing time; a second pinching
when they are 8 to 10 inches
tall, and the third when the
new shoots are about 3 to 10
inches long. This will produce
"a great many branches and give
"a fine broad spread to the top.
The disbuds are normally
pinched when they are 3 to 10
inches tall. A second pinching
will be necessary when the re-
sulting shoots are 8 to 10 inches
tall, but this is often delayed
until early July. 1t is common
practice to remove all side shoots
and keep the four stems on each
of the large Towering disbuds
in order to produce the huge
blossoms which are associated
with football weather. However,
these are late boomers and I'M
less they can be protected from
frost are likely to be lost in the
first freeze. The more moderate
sized disbuds are often permitted
to send up from 4 to 3 stems
which are kept free of side
branches and buds.
AS the buds begin TO form in
late August and early fall, the
mum grower will remove all but
the terminal bud. This should be
done frequently so that each
unwanted bud can be removed
while still small. In this way the
grower avoids having couspicu-
Gus studs in the leaf axis.

Teenagers seem to have gone
wild, especially in big cities,
North and South. In Chicago they
stirred up quite lot of trouble,
anyway things around there seem
TO be now on the quiet side.
In New York teenage violence
had the police force on the run
.ast week. Their knifings, beat
ings, shootinls, etc., resulted in
three killings. Maybe the pro-
longed stay of Evangelist Billy
Graham VIII help to ease the sit
uation.
He says the heart>o the trouble
is the failure of Lsarenbs in the
nome. There is something to that
statement.
Miami has its share of teen
ayers trouble; it's big job, but
we must keep on fighting it.
