Harden Plants
To Prevent Harm
In Cold Snups
By BRIAN X. FINGER


To prevent winter injury let
your plants harden of" This
means don't let your plants
put out new, tender growth late
in the summer and early fall
because these new shoots will
be killed by the cold weather.
To prevent new growth, don't
prune or fertilize plants in the
late fall until after the leaves
have fallen and you know then
that the plants are dormant.
Another preventative measure
is to maintain plants in a
healthy. disease-free condition
during the growing season. This
results in a good reserve of
carbohydrates being stored up
by the plants and they will be
better able to resist winter
damage.
Tender plants such as box
wood, azaleas and mountain
laurel may be protected by bur-
lap windbreaks. Heavy mulch
ing may also help.

Protecting Our Plants
During Winter

vent the soil from freezing and
thawing -heaving. They are
put on after the ground is fro
zen with the hope that they will
keep 1t frozen. In the more pro-
tected sections of the area this
Is hopeless because the ground
never gets more than q light
crusting. In such areas heaving
Is not a problem, but in the
more outlying areas this freeze
and thaw pushes plants, rocks
bulbs, etc. out Of the ground.
Plants whose roots are broken
by this heaving soon die unless
the gardener steps on them to
push them back into the soil. A
thin covering Of pine boughs
will oftentimes prevent this
trouble, as well as will layers of
compost, pine needles, chopped
up leaves, etc.
The leaves, straw and other
m DISTURB holding materials
should be spread over a layer Of
brush which will keep them
from mating down and keeping
the soil too moist. This mulch
ing should be done after freez-
ing. Mulching before freezing
is likely to provide winter homes
for field mice right where they
con lunch on bulbs and tender
plants.
Rose Protection
Rose bushes do not require
any great amount Of protection
in this area. In wind swept
situations it is well to shorten
the canes to prevent their sway
ing in winter winds. Also, in
such situations, it is well to
bring in soil and place q shovel
full or two around the crown OF
each plant as a further protec-
ton against swaying. Some rose
fanciers mound their bushes
even though winter winds are
not a problem, doing it so that
the layers Of fresh COW manure
they apply to the bed in early
January viii not come into con-
tact with the bushes.
Since blackspot, the most
damaging Of rose diseases, lives
over winter on the canes, 1t IL
desirable to use a dormant
spray both in the fall and in the
spring to destroy as much oi
this source Of infection as pos.
sible. However, the fall spray
should not be applied until after
most Of the foliage has fallen
However. 1t may be too cold by
that time for such a spraying

i9thf 0utuen EuttoE
Last Sunday we discussed the
steps which we might take to
remove the winter homes of In
sects and diseases, as well as
the removal Of standing water.
There are several other jobs
that come under the heading
Of getting ready for winter or
putting the garden to bed. Pro-
lection Of tender plants Is one
that always receives much at
tention, usually at the prong
time.
Protecting tender plants
camellias. fig trees, rose bushes,
etc., II they need it. should be
done after the wood has had
ample time to ripen. mature, or
reach q complete dormancy
Usually this stage is not reached
until late In the fall or in early
winter in this area. To protect
them before that stage is
reached is to keep them from
becoming fully dormant-hence
subject to freeze injury.
More fig trees are lost in this
area from planting in q too
protected place and then wrap
ping them up so that they never
have q chance to become dor
mant-hence the first hard
freeze kills them. There are
thousands Of fig trees in the
Washington area that thrive
year after year without a bit
Of codling.
DOrmancy First
The main problem in protect
ing our more tender species OF
trees and shrubs is to let them
reach complete dormancy and
then to do as much as we can
to keep them in that condition
until spring Is really here. In
most cases about all the garden
er can do Is to shield such
plants from winter sun and
wind.
A burlap or slat screen will in
most cases serve this purpose
There should be about a SIX
inch space between the screen
and the foliage.
Recently attention has been
focused on latex sprays for this
purpose.
Apparently they are effective
in cutting down on moisture
loss due to high winds, but they
do not keep the suns rays from
reaching the foliage and stimu-
lating unreasonable cell activity
! Perhaps the best practice Is
to use both means Of protect
ing the tender shrubs and trees
By the way. pine boughs stuck
into the soil on the south and
west sides of the tender shrubs
are fully as effective as a burlap
screen and much more slightly.
Why Mulch
Mulching has for long been
considered an important step in
protecting our gardens. We use
mulches for two purposes.
l. To keep the soil from freez-
ing so that the roots Of the
evergreens can function late
into the winter supplying mois-
ture to the foliage.
A mulch to accomplish this
purpose should be put on before
the ground freezes and at the
same time the soil should be
ridged about such plants to per-
init moisture to soak into the
root area.
2. Mulches are put on to pre-

Doctors Say Hormones Make

NEW YORK (SpeciaD "A

apparent that the side treated

cases, skin lines were definitely
less noticeable, complexion was
softer, smoother, fresher. There
was no local irritation in any

UNKNOWN CENTURY
The years 176O-1S60, ac-
cording to the heading on a
Columbia jacket, represent
the unknown century" The
reference is to the generally
forgotten creative activities
of musicians inspired by the
strong usical tradition
brought to this country by
the German Moravians.
Columbia discovered some
thing about this tradition
through last summers Early
American Moravian Music
Festival at Winston-Salem,
N. C. The result was a disc
of religious arias, anthems
and chorales by John Fred
erick Peter, Johannes Herbst,
John Antes and Edward w.
Leinbach which are striking
for their intimations of Mo-
Zart, Handel and Bach and,
at the same time, their con-
siderable individuality and
beauty.
Thor johnson and the
chorus, orchestra and So
prano and baritone soloists
provide excellent perform
ances which should soon
tend to make the American
Moravian musical century
unknown no longer.
