DO IT NOW
A Feature on Gardening by the
King* Mountain Garden Club
Council.
Now is an excellent time to
start planning for next summer's
garden. Begin right away to re
vamp your perennial borders. All
perennials, except autumn flow
ering kinds, can be divided now.
Take stock and plan for contin
uous bloom by adding a few new
varieties next year.
Perhaps no other flower is bet
ter able to give a long-blooming
pferiod than the Hemerocallis,
commonly called "day Illy". It is
not a new flower for Pliny, the
great Roman botanist and natura
list, made reference to it. In the
first century, A. D.; but its pop
ularity as a garden flower and
the wide enthusiasm with which
it is now acclaimed date bade on
ly a few years. Translated from
the Greek, Hemerocallis means
literally, "beautiful for a day".
?there ire about 4000 varieties
of daylillea In a wide rang* of
color. They run In every possibfe
shade of red, yellow, orange,
rose, brownvlnd the pastels. The
flowering season has now been
extended over ft pteriod of many
months and the size of bloom has
been increased greatly. Study
your catalogs to decide which va
rieties you like best. Order now.
Fall is an Ideal timfe for planting.
In late October we must make
ready for the winter months a

gerberas need protection. If
mulches arte used on columbines,
foxgloves, English daisies Vnd ot
her crown plants, however, be
sure to apply them on the side of

Do not mulch peonies. Feed calla

the integration of these new pro

leaves begin to die decrease the
amount of water given and gra

in a warm, dry placte averaging
60 to 70 degree temperature. The
bulbs can be left in the present
container or stored in a shallow
box of dry sand, peat or vermi

roses and Peruvian lilies must al
so be stored in a warm place.
Set pansy plants where they
have good soil and morning sun.
Transplant perennial seedlings
