Page 4 GARDENING SUGGESTIONS Since the landscape work has been going on around the plant, a number of questions in regard to home land-scap ing have been asked by the employees. Several are build ing new homes and others are interested in beautifying the ones they already have. Mr- Bolt, who is in charge of the work at Ecusta, has volun teered to furnish us suggestions on landscaping to be published in The Echo. Mr. Bolt is very willing to give advice or sug gestions to any of the em ployees who are interested in this subject. Mr. Bolt is well prepared to give authorative advice on these matters. He is a grad uate of Clemson College in the field of Horticulture, majoring in landscape gardening. Before coming to Ecusta in the early spring he was instructor hi Horticulture at Clemson Col lege. Below is Mr. Bolt’s ar ticle for this month. In view of the fact that many of the employees have been asking for information con cerning their garden problems, this column will be devoted to answering as many questions as possible and to giving such infoi*mation as might be useful to those who have gardens. December is a good month to prepare your flower beds for next spring, especially the dahlia beds. As soon as the tubers have been dug, cover the entire bed with about five inches of compost and add fer tilizer analysis 4 per cent nitro gen, 12 per cent phosphorus and 4 per cent potash at the rate of three pounds per one hundred square feet. This should be spaded into the soil thoroughly and allowed to de compose over the winter. All new beds should be spaded be fore adding the compost and fertilizer. THE ECHO Don’t burn your leaves! Rake them up and put them in a bin or pit where they can decom pose- Leaves, straw and other such litter, mixed with topsoil and allowed to rot, will make excellent mulching material and can be used when barn yard compost is not available. Many of you will be plant ing bulbs next month. Listed below are a few planting dis tances : Snowdrops—% inches apart, 3 inches deep. Jonquils — 6 inches apart, Mr. Schwarz Pays Visit Just as the paper was ready to be printed, Mr. W. M. Schwarz, who is vice president and attorney for Ecusta, paid a hurried visit to Pisgah For est. While he was here his time, as usual, was well occu pied with business matters. However, he was able to get a glimpse at the construction work on the new addition and to obtain first hand information as to the progress being made. He seemed to be well pleased with the rapid pace at which the work is moving. We regret that pressing business matters made it neces sary for him to return to New York so quickly and prevented his spending more time at Ecusta and Brevard. 6 inches deep. Hyacinths—8 inches apart, 6 inches deep. Narcissus—7 inches apajrt, 6 inches deep. Regal and Madonna Lillies —12 inches apart, 8 inches deep. Bone meal applied liberally is an excellent fertilizer for bulbs. Pansies and English Daisies should have been sown in Aug ust but good plants can be purchased now from commer cial flower growers. Compost or leaf mold and fertilizer should be applied in a similar manner as for Dahlias. The beds should be allowed to set tle for about two weeks. Pan sies should be planted 8 inches apait and Daisies about 6 inches apart. Care should be taken not to cover the crowns of plants with soil as this will cause rotting. After the plants are well established, cover lightly with straw or a similar mulch to prevent frost-heaving. Remove this covering in lato February or early March. Dead and diseased wood may be removed from shrubs and trees now. Heavy prun ing is not advised now because of the bare appearance of the plants, and because many plants bloom early in spring. There are many garden sug gestions that could be made now. We would, however, like to cover those which are desir ed most by the employees. If any of you would like any phase of gardening discussed, or any questions, please leave them at Mr. Wells’ office. We will attempt to answer them and help in any possible way. Weddings of Interest Mr. Walter V. Landeck sends us the following announcement of the wedding of one of our New York office employees: “I had the pleasure of at tending the wedding of the former Arline Veronica Strem- bel, whose marriage to Joseph John Pette was solemnized at the St. Agnes Roman Catholic church in Rockville Centre, L.
