The transplanting of seed

done as soon as the first pair

not later than the second pair

be spaced at least two inches
apart. Use a soil mixture Of

In order to avoid having tall

the seedlings in a sunny situa-

How 10 Plant
"A Home Patio

- Practically everyone likes a
patio where the family can sit
out or dine outdoors on sum-
4mer evenings. The trouble is,
in many small and modeSate
home developments, everything
lis SO open it is like sitting in
the middle of the street. with
no privacy whatever.
Don't let the lack of privacy
deter you, advises the Ameri-
can Association Of Nurserymen.
because there's no excuse for
ANY home owner, no matter
how small or large his home
may be, not to have a delight
sful patio.
!, Here's how to go about it:
/. Pace off the size of the
patio and stake it out.
: 2. Plant shade. At least one
sizable tree is necessary. Plant
the tree to the west of the patio
to be shaded.
> 3. Plant for privacy. In ev-
cry direction from which neigh
bors can see the patio, plant
shrubs or small trees as pre-
ferred, to serve as a screen. To
screen off the patio, it is not
necessary to plant a row of
trees or hedge plants unless you
desire this. They can be plant
ed singly at considerable dis
lance from the patio so long
as each one provides privacy
from a certain direction.
4. Once you have shade and
privacy, the next step is to
plant a few things around the
outside edge of the patio to pro-
vide color. This may be roses
or camellias, for example, other
Towering shrubs, or even an
nuals in the summer months,
to provide continuous color for
the whole season long. Nursery
men can help you plan.
Think of the patio as a room
to be decorated with colorful
natural plants and shrubs in
stead of indoor furnishings and
plant it so it will be easy and
pleasant to go from the rouse
to the patio.

Dompine-Off

In planting seeds in pots, flats
or other containers indoors the
major problem is to avoid the
destructive disease damping-
off. 1t is wise to sterilize the
pots, and flats and to use a
growing medium that is sterile.
We can sterilize soil by baking
it, but it is much simpler to
use sphagnum moss, perlite or
vermiculite. An inch layer is
usually ample for this purpose.
Such seeds and seedlings do
not need light until the latter
are above ground and then it
is best to give them tempered
light. An east window exposure
is good, and a south window
with a glass curtain to protect
the seedlings on bright sunny
days is also very good.

Grass WARNING

Grass seed must be sown
soon or it will not be worth
the effort. 1t takes bluegrass
two or three weeks to sprout
after sowing and it must have
time in which to become we'll
rooted before warm weather
arrives. The fescues. tall,
chewings and creeping red,
terminate in three to five days
and hence will have a better
chance of becoming estab-
lished from a spring sowing.

Weeds in Borders

Spring weeds have a habit
of appearing in the shrub and
perennial borders and in other
places where the careless use
of weedkillers may be danger
Gus. One way to use them
safely and still kill the weeds
is to cover the smaller plants
with paper sacks. Woody shrubs
may have the lower portions
of the stems protected by card
board boxes or wrapped with
plastic or paper. This is only
practical where a few plants
are involved. OF course, if they
are still dormant and the new
growth is still below ground

Crobeross Kill

The chemicals to kill dor

>Zytron, Dacthal and Trical-
cium arsenate - follow the
manufacturers directions for
rate and method of application.
If new grass seed has been
sown the crabgrass killers
should not be used until the
permanent grasses are estab-
lished. This same precaution
applies to 2,4-D (now being
used to control wild garlic) and
Silvex which may be used to
curb chickweed in lawns.

Tree Crowdinq
Makes Property
Less Valuable

Thin your trees for greater
home landscaping enjoyment
and greater value.
This thinning applies to mid
winter pruning or to the re-
moval of overcrowded trees and
woody shrubs. For grounds that
are overshaded, a judicious
pruning out of some branches
will permit the penetration OF
filtered sunlight. And, where
growth has caused groups of
trees to become crowded, the
removal of one or more will
open a path for sunlight and
give remaining trees a better
opportunity to develop at
tractively.
Home grounds are too often
planted with too many trees
with the result that forestlike
crowding may begin to take
place within a period of twelve
to 20 years or even less if
fast-growing, less d esirable
trees like the ailanthus, Chinese
elm, silver maple, willow and
poplar are employed.
Aside from looking like Tar
zan's habitat, overly lush green
cry provides too heavy shade,
too little sunlight and resulting
anemic lawns.
Corrective pruning or tree re-
movals can be handled to excel
lent advantage in winter, while
trees are free of heavy foliage,
while grounds are not in use
and while lawns are hibernat-
ing.
Problems of overcrowding
grow with time and so does
the cost of removing unwanted
trees.

Luwn Feeding

1t is not too late to apply
fertilizer to the lawn. The aver
age lawn does not receive
enough plant food to maintain
good grass but, those lawns
plagued with disease should be
given a very light spring ap-
plication. Such lawns are best
fed in the late fall and gen.
erously. The spring application
might well be high in nitrogen
(10-6-4 or similar) because
bacteria action is at a low
ebb and the grass should be
given a good boost to smother
out weeds.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-16

the spray will not injure them
unless the ground is wet with
the spray. But if only the weed
foliage is moistened there is
little risk involved. These
sprays should only be used
when the air is absolutely still
so that there will be no drift of
mist of fumes.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-16

at anytime the soil Is dry
enough. 1t is we'll to incorpo-
rate generous quantities Of
sphagnum moss in the plant
ing hole for all kinds except
the yews Taxus). The mixing
of fertilizer in the planting hole
is not safe and if feeding is de-
sirable the plant food should be
applied to the surface soil after
planting. &

when the air temperature is
above freezing and likely to re-
main above for at least "a

March is

Last weeks downpour and
snow thoroughly soaked the
gardens and out-of-door work
was not only impossible, but
tramping on the soil was likely
to be ruinous. The urge to get
started with the spring garden
work was such that many were
disappointed. It will take sew
eral days of good strong March
winds to dry the soil before
spading will be feasible. In the
meantime gardeners might

Root Growth

Whenever the soil is dry
enough the gardener should
proceed with the spring plant
ing of decidunous trees and
shrubs. Such woody plants, and
perennials, need to go into the
ground while the air tempera-
lures are too low to stimulate
top growth. This gives the
plants time in which to devel-

be replaced should a freeze
threaten. If the new foliage of
the perennials and bulbs has
appeared above ground and is
yellow, the mulch removal
might well be delayed until a
cloudy day.

Snow Damage

The snow damage to trees
and shrubs should be repaired
as soon as possible. Remove
