Pruning AnnuoIs

The ANIMALS that are tired
and leggy after the summer
might well be severely pruned
and given a good feeding. In
most cases they will reward the
gardener with a good display
of bloom during late Septem-
ber and October. This includes
most all of the ANIMALS. even
the pansies.

Feed Lawns

Mid-September is considered
the ideal time to feed the lawn
and help build it up for fall
growth and a reservoir of vi
tality for next spring. The
latest thinking on the part oi
the specialists is that the main
feeding should be in the fall
especially where diseases have
been a problem. Here again, the
choice is between the higher
priced, non-burning, long-last-
ing fertilizers or the quickly
available, cheaper types that
must be washed from the fol-
iage with the hose after appli-
cation to avoid burning.

Dogwoods Do Need
Some Care to Thrive

banging the lawnmower into
the trunk. A well-mulched area
also has this advantage-keeps
competing grass and weeds
from robbing the dogwood of
food and moisture. Moreover
such a mulch permits air and
moisture to reach the roots.
And, during the season when
the flower buds are forming a
good mulch helps to conserve
moisture.
Paint With Solution
Even with a good mulch we
might also take the precaution
of spraying the trunk and
larger limbs Cor painting) with
a DDT solution to take care of
any borer grubs that might be
crawling about looking for a
point to start boring in. The
recommended dates for such
sprays are mid-May and mid
June. For really good coverage
it might be we'll to start with
mid-April. Such a spray or
painting costs very little and
should be considered cheap in
surance.
Some will undoubtedly CEN
sor this if mention is not made
of the Importance of buying
small-sized dogwoods - sizes
that do not suffer too great a
shock when transplanted. 1t is
surprising how quickly small
trees become established and
make strong growth.
Also, it is important to prune
all newly set out dogwoods to
compensate for loss of roots. If
such pruning consists of short
ening branches and the re-
moval of weak forks, it will not
adversely affect the appearance
of the tree.
The last point. and one that
has been mentioned many
times on the Garden Page -
check the subsoil drainage be-
fore planting any tree. Unless
there is adequate drainage
trouble may be expected and it
is best to take steps to prevent
at the beginning rather than
at the end.

BY BILL YOUNGMAN
Garden Editor

Brian Finger, assistant coun-
ty agent. Montgomery County.
listed the following ailments of
a dogwood tree that he inspect =
ed not too long ago. There was
borer damage, bleeding canker
of the crown, a humorous
growth beneath the bark, and
leaf scorch. That list would be
enough to frighten all but the
never-give-up gardeners. Actu-
ally, few dogwoods suffer any
of these troubles and most dog
woods need not suffer any of
them if we will but give a lit
tie more thought to their care
and management.
1t is impossible to say with
certainty that all of the above
were caused by the lawnmower.
Nevertheless, the Horticultural
Department of the University
of Maryland isued a mimeo-
graph some years ago, titled.
'Lawnmower, Worst Enemy of
Dogwoods." That may not be
the exact title but is near
enough. Damaged bark offers
an entry for disease germs
which may cause a rot in the
sapwood that prevents moisture
reaching the leaves, and may
cause "scorch." The tumor may
have come from some such dis
ease organism entering such
an opening. And, without a
doubt the crown canker is more
likely to result from such in
jury than from almost any
other cause.
And, while we are discussing
the effects of this type of in
jury it should be noted that
the borer seldom ever troubles
a healthy, vigorously growing
tree. But when something like
one or more of the other in
juries occur then the borer
moves in to make the story
complete.
Some Points to Watch
The point in mentioning
these and other ailments such
as planting too deeply, is to
emphasize that our favorite
Towering tree need not be a
problem and a worry if we will
but take a few small steps to
protect it.
Care should be taken in the
planting. Dogwoods are shall
low-rooted by nature and If
we insist on planting too deeply
they will suffer. In planting we
use plenty of compost, leaf
mold or peatmoss in preparing
the soil. Obviously these settle
and we should make allowance
for such settling by placing the
crown of the tree an inch or
more above the level of the
soil.
Secondly, we might best
mulch the soil for a foot or
more out from the trunk so
that there is no excuse for
