under the edge of her house, just
as a hobby. Her aim at the time
was to start a pretty border on
the sides of her yard. That par
: ticular part was too sandy to mow
| for lawn grass and just grew up
!in weeds. The border was started
, with spirea, but Mrs. Layton plant
• ed any kind of flowers she could
I get
i Becoming increasingly more in-'
1 terested in this hobby, she read ev- |
ery flower book available to her. f
Seven years ago, a green house ’
was built. Flower cuttings for pot- '
ted plants were started. It soon
became more than a hobby as peo
ple learned abopt her lovely pot
i ted plants and healthy shrubs. But
there wasn’t much profit for her j
labors. If a customer bought a j
plant, Mrs. Layton usually gave
enough blooming flowers or extras ;
i to equal the purchase,
j Greatly admiriqg camellias* and ]
: azaleas, JVlrs. Layton purchased a j
] “Professor Sergeant” variety ca- i
mellia. Naturally she started root- i
ing cuttings, finding that it could ]
ibe done quite successfully. From j
then on, Mrs. Layton states she !
begged a cutting from anybody she ]
I could. A brother has helped her j
to get many new varieties.
Well, that border was still in her ]
mind. Being very 'sunny, she de- I
eided to set out pine trees which
would furnish an excellent shade
as they grew, thus making a suit
able place for azaleas. Although
the border is most attractive in its
blooming coat of many colors, Mrs.
Laytort plans many more beautify
ing improvements.
Her hobby had begun to outgrow
her, Mrs. Layton found shrubs
more profitable than potted plants;
therefore, she increased her plant
ing area to include a portion of the
field and quite a large shady sec
tion on its edge, with facilities for
irrigation. There being more work |
involved than one person could i
handle, Mrs. Layton welcomed her
son as a partner.
This year, 2,000 camellias have
been put out and rooted. This
• makes 70 varieties available to hqr
customers. Mrs. Layton has sought
the advice of experts to help ex
pand and improve her nursery busi
ness, which at the present time in- .
eludes some cut flowers in sea- j
son, potted plants, azaleas, camel-1
lias and most every kind of shrub
suited to this area.
"From little acorns big trees
grow.” This could certainly apply
to Mrs. Layton’s flower business.
A hobby has become a profitable
enterprise.
Through the years, Mrs. Layton
has shared her lovely flowers with
-so many people. Shut-ins have
been cheered by their beauty.
Neighbors have grown shrubs from
her cuttings. And every other
Sunday, her church friends witness
the tender Hand of God’s love in
the flower arrangements which
Mrs. Layton furnishes to beautify
the sanctuary.

Corn Diseases Are
Costing You Money
Corn is one of the most import
ant grain crops in North Carolina.
Each year corn production poten
tial in the State is reduced due to
the effects of disease.
There are a number of diseased
that attack corn, and in some in
dividual fields losses are often as
high as 10 per cent.
Diseases lower the value and
quality of the grain and may in
crease harvesting costs when as- •
fected plants lodge. All parts of;
the plant may be attacked—the
ears, leaves, stalks and roots —at
various stages of development.
I Corn ear, leaf and stalk diseases
I generally are favored by warm, wet
weather. Seedling diseases are
more severe in cool, wet weather
following planting. Pythium root
rot is generally more severe in wet
than in dry soils. Symptoms of
nematode damage are mort pro
nounced in dry, sandy soils.
There are no completely effec
tive measures for controlling corn
diseases; however, losses can be
minimized by following certain
reebmmended practices. The grow
er should become acquainted with
disease probßNes and factors af
fecting their severity.
The results of some of the latest
research on corn diseases and their
control has been published by the
North Carolina Agricultural Ex
tension Service at State College.
The booklet is called “Major Corn
Diseases in North Carolina” and
was prepared by J. C. Weiis, plant
pathologist for the N. C. Agricul
tural Extension Service and R. R.
Nelson, plant pathologist for the
U. S. Depatment of Agriculture.
