Garden
Time ...
By M. E. GARDENER
Today, as I write this, it is un
reasonably warm in our neck of
the woods, but we will have more
cold weather. However, the days
are getting gradually longer which
reminds us that spring is just
around the corner and we should
be prepared when planting time
comes.
Here are some suggestions and
reminders. You folks in eastern
Carolina should arrange to try the
new Plymouth Irish potato this
year and the Boone, another new
variety, in the Piedmont and
Mountains. These varieties have
been especially bred for the
coastal plains and the mountains,
have also been extensively tested
and I am sure you will like them.
Fruit trees, grape vines, orna
mental shrubs and trees should
be planted whenever the soil is
suitable. If you haven't pruned
your fruit trees and grape vines,
there is still time, but don't de
lay. The same is true for the
dormant spray' j to control scale
insects on fruit plants. You were
reminded in an earlier column
about the importance of controll
ing insects and diseases and hav
ing a sprayer or duster adequate
to do the job. W? will give pointers
from time to time as the insects
and diseases appear in season.
Hope you have cut your poinsettla
plant back one half and stored
It if you plan to hold it over. Ours
lasted unusually well this year.
In fact we still have a white one
which has been removed from the
plant and placed In a flat dish
over Aucuba (Golddust) leaves.
The question always comes up
about using seed that have been
saved from last year. It is best
to determine your needs so that
this won't happen. If you do have
a reserve on hand, better not use
them until they are tested. Here's
how. Count the seed, so you can
determine the percentage that
germinate, and place them on a
piece of moist blotting paper.
Place this In the bottom of some
thine like a pie pan and cover
with another piece of moist blot
tine paper. Then Invert a pie
pan lover the top to form a moist
chamber. Keep at a temperature
of 65 to 70 degrees as near as
possible. Some seed will require
a longer germinating period than
others.
