THINGS TO DO
THIS WEEK
IN GARDENS

Recent rains have soft
ened the ground and plant
ing should be completed.
Keep the grass cut
to encourage firm growth
and stooling.
Cut crabgrass infested
areas frequently enough
to prevent seed formation.
SildeX, a new material
is giving good kill of crab
grass at this season, wet
foliage, not ground. :.
Remove asparagus foliage
before birds harvest and
distribute seeds. Pre-
pare protected beds for the
rooted cuttings Of szaleas
and other broad-leaved
evergreenS. :.
Pot up small plants from
the garden for duty in
doors-marigolds, petunias,
chives, parsley. etc. i.
Tuberous rooted begonias
ported now may often be
kept Towering on a pro-
tected porch for several
weeks. When dormant
the pots can be turned on
their sides and serve to
keep the tubers in good
condition over winter. &.
Remove the tops of the
glads Immediately after
digging to prevent thrips
moving from foliage to
corm.-YOUNGMAN.

on dogwoods not shaded by an
overstory of taller trees. Dog

shade Of other trees are less
likely TO develop these symp-
toms than trees gowing in the
open. With the advent Of
cooler weather and rains. the
leaves of the affected trees
gradually lose their abnormal
appearance, II the hot and dry
weather continues too long,
leaves may fall and severe
dieback of the top may follow,

Coffee Nations
Sign Pact to
Stabilize Prices
By the Associated Press

Fifteen Latin American coun-
tries yesterday signed an agree.
ment that probably means
coffee prices for United States
housewives will remain at about
current levels.
me agreement aims at sta.
bilizing prices by balancing
world available production with
consumption.
It will work by Withholding
from the market an estimated
IL to Is million bags of coffee
above world import needs.
This overproduction has been
the reason behind the slide in
coffee prices which began last
spring. Retail prices now are
at the lowest level in eight
years.
The IS nations produce about
80 per cent of the worlds

Blooms Add

Summer

Much has been said about
the heat. humidity and down.
pours Of summer, 1858. Was 1t
not the worst year for crab
GRASP No one doubts that
plant diseases were rampant,
that 1t was impossible to con-
troll blackspot on roses, and
that the foliage diseases Of
trees and shrubs were the worst
ever. And don't overlook the
Summer-long trouble with mil
dew.
However, in spite of these
pessimistic views, summer, 1858.
produced some rather unusual
horticultural events. First, the
bluegrass stayed green all sum-
mer-brown yards were almost
unheard Of. Secondly, nearly
all of the spring Towering
shrubs and trees were able to
set a wonderful number OF
flower buds for next springs

We can look forward to

Of trees within two years after
transplanting can usually be
attributed to failure to recover
from transplanting. In trees
transplanted in either spring
or fall, leaves and tops may
die suddenly. Examination will
usually show that most of the
roots of such trees are already
dead by the time the top symp-
toms appear.
Safeguards in Planting
Precautionary measures to
insure against loss due to
transplanting include: Careful
digging to retain all Of the root
system, transplanting before
growth begins in the spring
making certain that the site is
we'll drained, applying 3 to 5
inches of peat or well-decayed
leaves to the soil over the root
area, watering during hot dry
weather, and spraying the
trunk with a 5 per cent water
emulsion of DOT or wrapping
it with DDT- treated burlap to
prevent dogwood borer attack
Clipping back twigs from a
few inches to a foot or more
is a common practice to COM
pensate for loss of roots.
AS indicated, DR.. May be-
lieves that wet soils, or soils
low in fertility have much to
do with the poor sparse growth
and leaves. The soil fertility
may be improved through the
application of fertilizer at the
rate of about 2 pounds per di-
ameter inch of the trunk. Fer
tilizerS having a 5-l0-5 or 1861
or similar formula may be used
Fertilizer should not ordinarily
be applied during the perioc
from July / until after the
leaves fall. Summer feeding
may stimulate fall growth anc
result in winter injury.
Leaves May Cup, Fall
Reddening. paling, curling
and cupping of dogwood leave

periods in summer. The leave

the midrib bends downward a

leaves may develop a red o
