lie all around him.
They are implicit in the fact
that his handsome, philander-
ing brother. Paris, has also re-
turned, bringing with him the
fascinating Helen whose cap

pride. Hector is all for handing

My name is Robert Colbert.
He could have knocked me

OF all unexpected things, the

Materials Available
To Curb Nemotodes
BY ]. b. WILSON
Botany Department
University Of Maryland

If your roses, lockwood, aza-
leas or other shrubs are af-
fected by twig dieback, bronz-
ing or yellowing of the leaves,
or if they are in a general
state of decline, you may have
a nematode problem. The only
way to be sure Of the presence
of nematodes is to have a root
and soil sample examined by
a nematologist. (See Plant Pa
thology Mimeo No. Ar for in
structionsD
One of the best nematocides
is marketed as Nemagon and
FumaZone Il, 2-dibromo-3-
chloropropane). This material
is available as emulsible concen-
trates and may be obtained
as approximately 10 per cent
or 48 per cent actual material
by weight. Nemagon is also
available in 10 per cent gran
ular form.
To apply these nematocideS
punch holes 6 to 8 inches deep
around the shrub in four
equal distance points on the
circumferenceS of three con-
centric circles. The first circle
would be six inches from the
trunk, the next IL inches from
the trunk and the third 18
inches out. The middle ring,
the one IL inches in radius from
the shrubs center, should have
the holes on a radius of the cir
Gle that biSects the distances
between the holes on the center
and outer circles. Place the
material in the holes and plug
them by caving the hole in with
the shoe or with a garden tool.
II you are using the 70 per
cent emulSible material dilute
it at the rate Of "a teaspoon
per gallon of water. If the 48
per cent material is used, dilute

are then applied at the rate
of l gallon of diluted nemato-
eide per square yard of area
treated. Use a watering can or
similar container to pour the
nematocide into the holes.
If you are using the 10 per
cent Nemagon. apply heaping
teaspoon per hole. :
Here are some things to- re-
member when using these ne
matocides:
/. Do not apply unless the
soil temperature is so degrees
or above.
2. Do not apply when the
soil is too wet or too dry. A
good rule is to apply when the
soil is suitable for seeding.
3. Be careful. Be sure there
is good ventilation. Do not in
hale the fumes and be sure to
wash off any material with
soap and water. Read and fol-
low the directions on the label.
If your shrubs form a hedge
and this hole method cannot
be used, dig shallow g inches)
trenches along each side at l.
foot intervals and place the
material in the trenches. Use
the same rates as above and
cover with soil and firm with

and winter, but also because II
is a useful "facing-up" shrub
to put in front Of taller grow
ing ones. However, the COM
monty plated LeuCOthOe Gates
baei (dog hobble) will go to 4
feet which is a bit high for a
facing-up shrub. The species,
L. axilliaris, is a smaller leafed
more compact plant and thus
should be given consideration.
The deciduous shrubs are not
being neglected and dwarf
forms are becoming available
for a number Of kinds. The in
teresting and useful deciduous
euonymus, E. Alata, has a dwarf
form, compactus, that grows to
4 or S feet. Then there is the
extreme dwarfing Of the high
bush cranberry, Viburnum Opu-
luS nana-the former a 9 to 10
foot shrub. the latter. 18 to "a
inch. This dwarf, however, may
not be too popular since it sell
dom flowers or sets fruit.
Evening star., 1961-04-23

( there is a dwarf form Of the
inkberry, Hex glabra. While
this dark, blue-black fruited
holly is seldom grown in the
garden, there is a dwarf form
that will stay in the 3 to 4 foot
size range whereas the species
under favorable cultural condi-
tions may reach 20 feet.
Another dwarf evergreen, or
semi-evergreen, is the abelia
variety, Edward Goucher. Not
only is it a bit smaller than
the widely planted species. but
the flowers are a bit deeper in
color and larger. This variety
seldom exceeds 5 feet in height
but the species is good for 8
feet in height but the species is
good for 8 feet in most of our
yards.

| less winter damage. But there
is a dwarf form, Ligustrum lu-
Cidum var. Suwannee River,
that seemed to hold its foliage
much better. Certainly it is a
lower grower and thus better
suited to the city lot than its
big brother.
The dwarf Juliana barberry
(Berberris julianae nana) is
another evergreen that deserves
much wider use. The leaves are
smaller, the growth is much
more moderate, and even the
thorns are shorter tat least
they seem that way to me).
This barberry is rated as toll
Grating some shade but in this
area should be given a sunny
situation for best results. 1t is
better adapted to hedge use
than most of the other bar
berries. The warty barberry is
a lower grower but is much too
spreading for hedge purposes.
Dwarf HOIIies
Mention has been made on
this page that the Japanese
hollieS survived the winter
much better than most other
broad-leaved evergreens. We
can also point out that there
are a number that are dwarf to
moderate in size and useful in
either sunny or shady situa-
tions in the smaller garden.
The lowest grower, Helleri, is
so slow growing that it is
doubtful if the owner will ever
see it reach three feet. Kings
vile, another low spreader, will
grow a bit taller. Then there is
convexa which, may reach 4
feet, but more likely 3 feet un-

with the same or perhaps even
better foliage is Hetzi Hex

green foliage but is a bit
stronger grower and would be
more useful as a hedge than
