STEPS TO ROSE SUCCESS

Select quality rosebushes and follow these
easy planting steps recommended by ALI
America Rose Selections.
l. Dig hole Is" wide and about IL" to Is"
deep. Replace several inches of loose, pre-
pared soil (sOil mixed well with several
Spadesful of peat moss, leaf mold cOmpOst).
Form mound in center.
g. Place rOsebush on mound and spread its
roots naturally down slope Position plant on
mound so that bud union (knotlike, swollen
area) is at ground level.
g. Cover the roots with soil, working in the
soil around roots to eliminate air pockets
Fill hole "a full and lamp down firmly. Pour
several pailsful Of water into hole and allow
to drain.
4. After water has completely settled, fill in
remainder of hole with soil and mound up
around canes to height of about inches
Remove protective mound after week or 10
days.

termination Test

Now is a good time to test
the old seeds to see if they are
good enough for planting this
spring. Count out SO or 100
seeds. Spread them thinly on a
blotter placed on a plate. A
second blotter is then put on
top and both are moistened.
Cover with a plate to keep out
light and to lessen moisture
loss. At the end Of 3 days. begin
daily counting of the sprouted
seeds. After 10 days, take a final
count and discard the test. If
the seeds terminated at least so
per cent they are worth plant
ing, although at a higher rate
than normal. If the test showed
80 per cent or less, the seeds
should be dumped.

AIyssunn

Sweet alyssum will grow
where planted at this season.
Sow the seed thinly and cover
lightly with soil or a soil
peatmoss mixture. It makes an
attractive low edging with long
season bloom in a sunny or
lightly shaded situation. There
are several varieties from
which to choose. Rosie O'Day
is the newest one.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-23
Rose Planting

Newly planted rose bushes
should be mounded with soil
to a height of 6 to 10 inches
This mounding is to keep the
canes from drying. Leave the
mounds on for 2 or 3 weeks
until the roots have become
active and supplying moisture
Remove the mounds on a

THIS WEEK
IN YOUR GARDEN

Sunny cool weather last week
end gave the gardener oppor-
tunity to get much of his early
spring garden chores under
way. The soil was dry enough
for digging and pruning. This
work should be continued
whenever conditions are favor
able. The dormant sprays must
.go on the deciduous trees
shrubs and roses before the leaf
buds open.

When to Roll

The lawns showing effects of
winter freeze and thaw weather
should be rolled but this chore
must be done when the soil is
only barely moist. Rolling wet
soil with a heavy roller only
compacts and destroys the po-
rosity of the soil so that air
and moisture do not penetrate
to the plant roots. However, it
is desirable to roll because the
grass plant crowns often are
pushed out of the soil during
the winter and can be cut off
by the lawnmoWer.

Tender Stocks

Plants that are tender from
being grown in greenhouses,
such as those from the flower
show, should be kept on the
porch or in some other protected
situation where they will be
safe from freezing weather. II
planted out of doors now they
might easily be injured by a
freeze.

Paint Tree Cuts

Paint the cut surfaces on
trees and shrubs with a tree
dressing to prevent the entry
of wood-rotting fungi. This ma
terial is inexpensive and is good
insurance against rot entering
the branches or trunks. Check
last years applications to make
sure that cracks have not
formed which might permit rot
to get started.

on hybrid teas. 1t is found on
the lower portion of canes that
are moist. Small black fruiting
bodies and spores OF the fungus
may be seen in the cankered
area. Stem canker is in most
every rose garden. This fungus
enters through any wound. To.
control these cankers, prune out,
all infected parts. preferably in.
March. Also an early applica-.
ton of lime-sulphur on the.
canes will help.

Compost

The winters accumulation of
leaves and garden refuse might
well be turned at this season
to insure rapid breakdown.
Oftentimes the leaves pack so
tightly when piled into the
compost pile that moisture does
not penetrate. A forking over at
this season helps materially to
speed the decay. Sprinkling a

Seal Rose Cuts

Seal the cut ends of the roses
with some material that will
prevent the entry of the sawfly
(cane borep. Orange shellac,
tanglefoot or tree dressing may
be used for this purpose.

Things to Plant

1t is not too late to plant
onion sets, onion plants, FROST
proof cabbage plants, or to set
out strawberry plants. Rose
bushes and other woody plants
can go into the ground when
ever it is dry enough for
digging.

Heuvinq

Look over the perennial bor-
der for iris and other plants
that may have been heaved by
the freeze and Lhaw weather.
Step on them, pushing the
crowns back into the soil. II
left protruding they will dry
out and die.
