1t was cut at the height of

long stems were cut of to the

give a good and rather solid

to use close groupings in the
cold season, and you will detect
that some Of the disks are
overlapping, thus adding a
sensation Of depth.
II you are hesitant about
putting the stems Of dried ma

wire slat fence such as used by
the highway departments to
keep snow from drifting across
roads. Short lengths Of the
snow fence supported by iron
posts make an ideal wind

After last winters experience
with winter injury, many
Washington gardeners will be
ready to protect their ever
greens from devastating winter
breezes. 1t was not the cold but
the debilitating effects Of strong
winds that sucked the life out of
the leaves and wood Of exposed
shrubs.
Generally speaking, winter
protection Is applied too early
and usually does more damage
than good. We should not at
tempt to protect our choice
evergreens until after the wood
has thoroughly ripened, or
matured, as some refer to 1t.
Anything which tends to slow
this ripening process can in
crease the likelihood Of injury.
1t Is not wise, therefore, to wrap
or coddle plants. Mid to late
December is the time.
The evergreens may be
protected in several ways. Most
gardeners erect Q screen to ex-
clude winter sun and wind
Such . screen may be con-
Structed with three stakes and
q piece Of burlap. 1t Is placed
on the south side Of the shrub
A few pine boughS driven into
the ground will serve the same
purpose.
Evergreens that are likely to
receive snowslides from the roof
may be protected by building q
platform of Stats above them
In case this is not done in time
and q snow does arrive, then
strong poles may be leaned
against the house in such a way
as to break the force Of the
snowslide.
