the pruning early and avoid the
bleeding.
Hydrangeas
The pruning of the shiny
leaved hydrangeas (blue
Iflowers) might well be delayed
until mid-March or the first of
April. They are tender and can
still suffer freeze injury. Their
pruning consists of removing all
dead canes, also take out those
that are thin and why. Then
note how many canes are left
and decide whether the number
is so large as to indicate small
blooms. If large blooms are. de-
sired the remaining canes may
be thinned. Do not cut off the
tops of the canes because the
flower buds are there and prun-
ing will remove them. If the
canes are too tall, wait until
after Towering before shorten
ing them.
Plant Some Things Early
Don't delay starting flower and
vegetable seeds if you would
have big husky plants ready to
set out of doors when the
weather is favorable. We nor
mally plant cabbage. caulifiower,
broccoli, ETC.. in the garden
around the goth of March. To-
matoes. petunias. and similar
tender plants do not go into the
garden or flower bed until late

shady borders or to pots. II It
is still too risky to place them
out-of-doors they might well 60
into the latter.
How to Choose Situation
In selecting situations for the
tuberous-rooted begonias, it is
well to remember that they like
light shade. Heavy shade pro-
tduces good foliage but no blooms.
And, they like a situation where
the air is humid.
Last. but not least, do not put
them in a place where strong
winds will whip them to pieces,
Some will say that situations
where the air circulation is poor
is conducive to mildew, but many
of the newer strains are highly
resistant to mildew and other
diseases.
Light watering and light feed
ing are the secret of good growth
and free Towering. Syringe the
foliage once or twice a day and
water the soil rather infrequently
depending upon the situation.
The leafmold in which they are
growing should never be allowed
to become soggy wet. The feeding
might well be some inorganic
fertilizer with an analysis of To-
1912. or thereabouts, applied in
liquid form. Late summer or
early fall feelings should be light
on the nitrogen side since it is
desirable to harden the plants
and tubers before lifting.
Foliage Becomes Yellow
If the plants are still growing
lush when it comes time to lift
them they should be ported up
and put into a frost-free situa-
ton until the foliage yellows.
Breaking off the stems before
they reach this stage weakens
the tubers for another seasons
production.
There are many forms of the
tuberous-rooted begonias-
lfrilled, double. single, ETC.. and
the range in color is wide, but it
is not possible to buy except by
type or group colorS. They have
not as yet developed an mex
pensive and rapid method of
lpropagating named varieties,
consequently it is the tubers
from seedlings that are offered
in commerce today. Actually, the
gardener who likes to work with
something unusual might we'll
try raising them from seeds.
The dormant tubers may be
stored after harvest by carefully
drying and packing in dry peat
moss. Keep in a cool situation
until it is time to bring them
into warmth and growth again

is the time to fertilize the lawn.
This year gardeners might better
use the slow acting, nonburning
fertilizers. They feed the grass
over a period of many weeks
and while they cost more than
the older forms of commercial
fertilizers, the benefits from
their use far Offset the additional
cost. The new nitrogens are
released slowly and SO the very
rapid growth Immediately after
application does not occur. but
rather a continuous growth over
many weeks. Heavy applications
of these new type fertilizers are
not likely to cause any harm
Two applications will keep the
grass growing throughout the

S days. others take longer, Better
wait IA days before giving up on

Ivy and philOdendrOn will
grow and root in water, but they
seem to prefer an opaque glass
Icontainer. one that excludes
light.
Now that the days are longer
it is desirable to give the house
plants more water to resume
monthly fertilization.
Fertilizing the Lawn

May.
Planting Medium
Use sphagnum moss, vermi-
cutie. or sterilized soil in start
ing seeds if you would avoid
trouble with the damping of dis
ease. 1t is a universally dis
tributed disease and annually
takes a heavy toll of seedlings.
There is no reason for running
this risk when these materials
are available.
Get Equipment Ready
There is not much time in
which to get the garden equip
ment overhauled. repaired, and
sharpened before spring work
gets under way. Better take il
to the shop this week.
How to Apply Lime
The lawn might well be lined
now if it has not received any
dressing in the past two or three
years. Lime is put on to supply
calcium to the grass plants and
not to change the acidity. Use

Towns Should Budget
rec Core Programs

Because town councils usually
decide budget matters in the
winter season, that is the ideal
time to ask for the trimming and
care Of a city's trees. Without
the support of taxpayers. such
expenses are usually passed over
because the requirements are
not so apparent.

Freeze and thaw weather tends
to discourage out-of-door activ-
ity, but that is the kind OF
weather that makes frequent in
spection of the unmulched beds

shallowly planted bulbs can be

ground and need a heavy-footed
gardener to push them back
Yes, stepping on these plants is
an effective method of getting
them back into the soil when the
soil is too wet to dig a new hole
for them.
