Most lawnmowers are sold
on the price factor, largely be-
cause few buyers know enough
to make a choice based on
merits Of models and brands.
And If the price does not
govern the sale, most buyers
rely on the company's reputa-
ton or upon the sales talk of
the salesman.
Probably the first important
question to ask is: What about
service and parts? Lawnmowers
do require servicing and sooner
or later there will be need for
replacement parts. Many of
the so-called bargains that APP
pear periodically are the tag
end production Of a defunct
firm-no service and no parts.
The choice between a reel
type and a rotary is not entirely
one Of cost. The reel-type
mower is more likely to give

bulbs. roses, shrubs and trees
from sources other than those
in the Washington area. Most
kinds are ohtainable locally.
Open Weather Pruning
During periods Of mild
weather the gardener might get
started on the annual spring
pruning job. Grapes should be
the first pruning job: shade
trees, shrubbery Except the
more tender kinds. and fruit
trees can be Sefely done at any
time. The pruning Of butter
fly bushes, roses and crepe
myrtle should wait until March
so that should there be freeze
damage the loss Of wood would
be small.
Shape Your Hedge Plants
Hedges that are getting top
heavy, especially privet, might
well be cut back q third so as to
develop q better shaped row.
Any hedge with a top wider
than its bottom width soon be-
comes bare-legged and unat-
tractive. Avoid this condition
even if the hedge must be cut
back severely for reShaping.
Evergreen Pruning
EvergreenS can be pruned
now but the pruning cuts will
be conspicuous until new growth
appears. This is why most
people prune evergreens in
early March. The arborvitae
need pruning each year to keep
them compact and to reduce
the needle loss during periods
Of dry weather. This also APP
plies to the False cypress
(Chamaecyparis). Spruce are
seldom pruned. The Douglas
fir should be pruned, preferably
at the holiday season so as to
provide useful greens for deco
rations. The jumpers may be,
and should be, shingled to keep
them within bounds.
EvergreenS damaged by the
heavy SHOWS may need help to
regain their symmetry. Some
may be pruned to remove the
bent branches; others will need
to be tied back into place and
the cords left long enough for
the wood to heal. II the central
leaders were damaged a stiff
stick or bamboo pole should be
used to hold them in place.
Tie the leader to a stick or pole
which should be long enough
to give q firm support.
Overhaul Equipment
Time is running out for those
gardeners who have not had
their equipment overhauled, re-
paired, or sharpened so as to
be ready for spring work. Get
this job out of the way as soon
as possible. It will not be long
before you will be wanting to
use it.

Dormant Spray
Whenever the temperatures
are above freezing and likely to
remain so for "a hours is q good
time to apply a dormant spray
to the roses. fruit trees and

shrubs. This is primarily to kill
all scale insects, the egg masses

on the twigs and at least a por-
ton of the disease spores that
winter-over on the bark. Do
not fail to wet the surface of
the ground with the spray to
kill spores there. Lime sulphur
is the most commonly used
although it is smelly and care
must be used to keep it from
getting on painted woodwork
it turns white paint a dirty
black. However, lime-sulphur
is an effective and inexpensive
material.-W. H. Y.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-09

toes under the housing. The
handle should be strong enough
to permit twisting the mower
without breaking. Many Of the
newer models of mowers have
the controls mounted on the
handle so that the operator
need not bend over to operate
the engine. Reversible handles
are considered conducive to ac-
cidents.
The cutter blade of the
rotary should be light so as
to keep down the centrifugal
force. but it must be heavy
enough to withstand the shock
of hitting twigs, acorns, etc.,
without bending or breaking.
1t must be tough and yet hard
enough to hold a good cutting
edge. Hard steel is brittle but
holds an edge longer. The
outer half-inch of the blade
does all of the cutting so that
part should be well tempered.
The blade of a rotary should
be mounted so that it will slip
if it hits a heavy object, other
wise there is danger of bend
ing the crankshaft. Crank
shafts are expensive to replace.
Some Other Factors
The wheels of the mower
should be of steel-not plastic.
They should be fairly large to
make for easier pushing, wide
enough not to cut into the
lawn. and spaced so as to
avoid "scalping" the soil as
they pass over a rise. The
tires should be at least an
inch and a half wide for the
smaller mowers, wider for the
bigger ones.
One other mechanical feature
to ask about - what kind Of
bearings? Most gardeners for
get to oil moving parts. so
unless the mower is equipped
with an oil impregnated or
sealed roller bearing, excessive
wear is likely. Ball bearings
are subject to undue wear be-
cause of the accumulation Of
dust and moisture. Roller bear
ings, unless properly sealed. are
subject to this type of trouble.
Impregnated bushings are
cheaper to replace than roller
bearings and are relatively
trouble free. There is consider
able difference Of opinion about
bearings and the results are so
variable-due to the wide range
Of care and attention given to
mowers-that no definite opin-
ion may be had.
Safety Features Important
In buying q rotary mower do
not overlook the safety features.
Is the housing strong enough?
There are cast aluminium
housings, aluminium alloys and
steel housing. The cast alumni
mum, if heavy enough, should
be safe, although the lighter
aluminium alloys may be even
less subject to breakage. The
steel housings are made Of
various weights of steel (gauge) /.
A 14-gauge is strong enough
for safety, but is a bit heavy
to push around. The housing
should be so constructed that
the operator cannot stick his
toe under the back edge and
reach the blade. A mower built
to operate at 5000 rpm. may
be dangerous if run at 5000
rpm. These are some Of the
principal factors to be con-
sidered in selecting a power
mower: Service and parts are
probably number 1; safety is
second. and the ability to de-
liver trouble-free service (due
to construction) is third. Then
