GARDNER We have brought our amaryllis out of dry storage and placed it outside in partial (hade. Water i is being added and the bulb U be ginning to grow. We have had thii bulb over two yean and have repotted it once. It is now in a ten-inch clay pot Last year the plant produced four huge white blossoms. One flower stalk produced two. Then * kccouu iiOWcr lUit came out as large as the first and produced two more flowers. It is not too late to seed many of the annuals for your color pa rade this summer ? marigqld, pe tunia, salvia, ageratum and many others. Plants of annual flowers are available in most sections of the state, in case you do not want to take the time to produce them from seed. Don't overlook the fancy-leaved caladiums if you want some color. This plant . is fine for making a quick show in beds as part of the landscape plan. They will give color during the summer and can be moved this fall, if you desire to replace them with permanent shrubs. If fungus galls appear on the leaves of your azalea plants, re move and destroy them. They are more unsightly than* serious and do not usually require a special spray program. Your nurseryman, or garden center, has a good supply of can ned stock on hand which you jean safely transplant any time of the year ? azaleas, hollies and many others. The beauty about this stock Is the fact that you do not disturb the root system when transplanting. Don't attempt to transplant ornamental trees or shrubs with naked roots at this time.
