Rose planting time is only
three weeks away. Most kinds
Of dormant deciduous trees and
shrubs may be planted at the
same time. There are some
kinds. however, that are best
planted in the spring and they
should be carefully noted when
placing the order. And it is de-
sirable to order them now to be
sure of receiving them at the
proper planting time next
spring. Bulb planting can still
be taken care of. The tulips
may well be left until last. This
delay in planting is also advis-
able for the Dutch iris. inexpen-
sive bulbs to buy, that provide
excellent long-laSting flowers
for cutting. Plant them in rows
in the vegetable garden for they
are not suitable for the border.
Save Those Leaves
Leaf raking and carrying to
the compost pile is the order of
the day. If you need more for
the compost pile, you might well
ask for a load or two of chop
ped leaves from the Street
Cleaning Department. The
chopped-up leaves break down
much faster than the unchop-
ped, and so with care should be
ready for use next spring. Add
a bit of 5-10-5 or other fertil-
izerS to speed the decay and
assure that the finished product
is a rich compost. Six-or- ten
inch packed layers of leaves
might well be alternated with
two or 4-inch layers of soil.
Mulch for Evergreens
Leaves make an excellent
mulch for the broadleaved ever
greens. Be sure to scatter pieces
of brush to prevent the leaves
from packing. This mulching
can. and should. be done before
the ground freezes. The value
of such a mulch is to keep the
soil from freezing so that the
roots can function into the win
ter. Much point is made of the
use of oak leaves to increase
soil acidity. They do add a bit
but not as much as some would
think.
Tie Up Rose Canes
The type of climbing roses
and other woody vines should
be taken care of before winter
winds damage them. Use strong,
coarse string or the prepared
plant ties so as not to cut the
bark.
Winter Rose Pruning
There is a mistaken notion
that roses should be severely
pruned in the fall. Roses, in
exposed situations, might we'll
be cut back to 3 or 4 feet in
height to prevent their whip
ping about in winter winds. In
protected situations they need
not be pruned until spring.
However. it is we'll to mound soil
or sawdust about the crowns
to give them additional stabil-
ity.
Drainage in Rose Beds
In preparing the beds for
roses. or the planting holes. it
is desirable to check the sub
surface drainage. This is
easily done by digging a hole
Is to "a inches deep. Pour in
a pail of water and mark the
top of the water line. Allow
this to stand for "a hours and
then note how much, if any,
remains in the hole. If there
has been little. if, any disap-
pearance something will need
to be done to increase the sub
soil drainage. Perhaps this
may be corrected by digging
deep/holes at each end Of the
bed. Perhaps a crowbar will
break through the compacted
layer. If this method fails
then 1t may be necessary to

such things for the Yanks, put

Ia guage Of what's to come, it will
be an agonizing season for the
Senators. They were whipped
by one of the leagues selling
Iplaters in a shoddy display OF
baseball, and today they're
stacked against classier company.
With Whitley Ford slated to
take the mound for New York
today. Manager Chuck Dresser
will bench Whitley Herzog, send
Karl Olson to center, move Lyle
Luttrell to the leadof spot and
pray for more efficiency.
Against the Orioles, Washing
ton was a confused club. There
were missed signs between
Pitcher Bob Chakales and Catcher
Clint Courtney. Roy Sievers'
failure to sacrifice in the 10th
inning when a successful bunt
could have lifted the Senators
to triumph, and a continuation
of the inept pitching which
plagued the club in exhibitions.
Turnout Is Ominous
And if the Senator's per-
formance wasn't grim enough,
the attendance was ominous.
The crowd. which included
President Eisenhower and Vice
President Nixon, was the small
est to witness an opener in %
years. or since the Senators and
Red Sox opened before $1,000
in 1885.
That distressing note comes
at a time when the franchise
lis in jeopardy because of poor
attendance over recent years.
doubtless as a result of poor
teams. Starting today it's an
uphill battle for the Senators,
with any sort of a losing streak
at the outset likely to doom the
club from an attendance stand
point.
An upset today against
the accomplished Ford would
brighten the outlook. That puts
it up to Stobbs, a three time
winner over the Yankees last
season. The team needs to stir
quick interest. perhaps to sur
vive. and Chuck is the man of
the moment.
