Tiger Lilies

From Mrs. J. L. Aull,
$3.50 Carolina place NV.
How should tiger lilies be
separated? When?
Answer
II they are the true tiger
lilies the bulbs should be dug
Immediately after the foliage
has matured. The bulbs are
usually 8 or 10 inches below
ground so dig carefully. Often
times they will not be fully
separated and 1t will be neces-
sary to pull them apart. but
this should not be done unless
q good piece of the basal plate
(the part from which the roots
grow win be attached to each
bulb.
II the lilies are Hemerocallis
(daylilies) with tall narrow
leaves that are attached to the
crown. then they should be
lifted in the early spring and
the crowns cut into pieces.
These spread by underground
shoots and do not have q bulb,
but slender rhizomes. They are

Apple Spruy

From Mrs. H. B. Martin,
% West Masonic View Avenue.

What spray should I use on
an apple tree? Many apples
fall before they half ripen,
some have brown blight spots,
some show evidence Of worms.
AnstDer
Use an all-purpose fruit
spray, there are several on the
market. The first application
should be at the time the
flower buds are showing pink;
the second when half or two
thirds Of the petals have fallen.

to do this or not is a decision

future growth be put on your
good trees.
In picking out the trees to be
left, try to pick those of good
form and with at least 80 to 40
per cent of the total height in
foliage. Watch it at the other
end too, because a tree with too
much foliage will produce a
llmby, knotty log of poor quail

foliage has a hard time produc-
ing enough plant food for fast
growth.
Above all. don't be afraid to
take out plenty of trees. They
need room, sunlight and moist
ure, and if your thinning is too
light, it may have to be repeated
in a couple of years. Leave some
daylight between the trees re-
