blooming habit of the different
types. The common lilac is
supposed to bloom in seven
years. However, if properly fed,
the soil lined and watered, it
should bloom in three or four
years. Lilacs have shallow
growing roots and should be
mulched rather than cultivated.
Also. the suckers that are a
drain upon the plant should
be thinned to a few which will
be replacement should the
main stems be removed. ,

Need Frequent Feeding
Most Of the improved Ber-
mudas are best adapted TO golf
course green's and similar areas
of heavy usage where frequent
moving and feeding are prac-
teal. They are grasses that heal
rapidly when SCARED or torn,
and have the added advantage
Of not requiring the frequent
watering during dry periods
that the bents require. I'm
doubtedly. the biggest advan-
tage of such grasses is the
greater freedom from diseases
which are the worry OF the
greenskeepers. However, they
are not immune to diseases and
late in the season may be af-
fiicted with leafspot, perhaps
dollar spot. So far these have
not been serious, for usually
the turf RECEIVERS without treat
ment.
Winter color is the same
with these new turf grasses.
Some greenskeepers are try
ing overseeing the Bermudas
with annual bluegrass, with
ryegrass, and with other
grasses, with varying degrees
of success. This, of course, is
of major concern to local
greenskeepers who. have the
problem Of keeping their
courses in shape all winter for
the harder golfing enthusiasts.
A few have tried building
greens for winter use and pro-
tecting the Bermuda grass
greens for summer use only.
The greenskeeper is not con-
cerned with winter color and
is most interested in winter
protection. The home gardener
is not thinking along these
lines. He wants an attractive
summer lawn and may not
mind having of color grass in
the winter. If the color does
bother him, he can always dye
the grass green.

BY w. II. YoUNGMAN
star Garden Rditor

Plantsmen have long rec
ognized that the bluegrasses
and fescues do not satisfac-
torily AL all Of the turf needs Of
local gardeners. Either they do
not grow satisfactorily under
our soil and climatic condi-
tions Or they are too much
subject TO- disease. Conse-
quently. we now have a selec-
ton OF zoysias and Bermuda
grasses that fit our needs for
better turf.
The FIRST Of the Zoysias,
Meyer. has been on the market
for some years and many
gardeners have turned to 1t in
place Of the bluegrasses and
fescues because 1t is a better
summer grower: does not have
the high fertilizer require
ments; and can be kept at a
lower height. These qualities
offset TO a considerable extent
the undesirable winter color.
The common Bermuda was
recognized also as a good sum-
mer growing turf grass but was
feared because Of its invasive
ways. The Us was q finer
leaved. less invasive plant but
lacked the thickness Of turf
that many desired and also
required heavier feeding for
satisfactory growth.
New Strains Available
Both Of these are being
replaced by types. strains or
varieties that to some extent
are more satisfactory. Meyer
Zoysia has a strong competitor
in Emerald zoysia. This new
conner seems to be finer leaved,
greens up earlier in the spring
and stays green later into the
fall. Otherwise the character
istics are much the same. Some
feeding is necessary, of course,
If 1t is to be thick enough to
crowd out weeds. The clippings,
which break down very slowly,
should be removed. They make
a good mulch. p
There are a number of new
Bermudas on the market that
are receiving much attention
by golf course superintendent.
They offer just as fine putting
green covers as do the bents.
but are comparatively free from
disease problems.

Pinchine Helpful

Most newly planted ANIMALS
should have the tips of the
plants removed, "pinched" at
time of planting. This is to
encourage branching. 1t may
delay Towering a few days, but
pinched plants will produce
many Towering branches and a
much better mass effect than
those not receiving this care
at planting time.
