The tips of my mugho pines

September too early to treat
the lawn for Japanese beetles,

ther coleus or petunias will

Answers: The mugho pine scale
can be controlled either by
pruning and burning the tops
or by spraying with malathion

From A. M. NJ, Ais Beck

growing shrub for q shady yard
to afford privacy - q height
Of 4 feet would be suitable
Answer: The bush honey
suckle is q taller grower but
is fast and will take light
shade. The mockorange Is also
a taller grower to 8 feet, and
will tolerate light shade only
Some Of the viburnums will
take deeper shade, 9 few are
low growing but most Of them
are 6 feet or taller. The ever
greens such as aZaleans, Lg-
ustruim lucidum, the Japanese
hollies. American holly, etc., are
more likely to tolerate the
shade but are slower growers

From Mrs. j. NJ. Fail;

Der of white blooms this past

some soil deficiency Answer:
1t might be possible that the
grower mixed in some corms oi
a white variety. Or, 1t may be
that insects have brought 9
virus disease into your plant
