It’s Garden Time By M. E. GARDNER Dept, at Horticultural Science N. C. State University This is a beautiful day in our neighborhood. Azure blue sky, bright sun, lazy breeze, ' and just enough zip in the air to make you want to pick up the fly rod and go popping. I just may do that, too, a little later on. The spring days have been gorgeous. I don’t believe I ever remember, or have en joyed more, the profuse bloom and vivid colors of all blooming plants. Grass mow ing has kept me busy, too, as we have had some real fine growing weather. 1 just wish that I possessed some sort of supernatural power whereby I could make j this country of ours as beau (tiful socially and economic ally as the natural resources that surround us. The forces ! of nature are in constant con flict but somehow the beauti ful seems to survive. Man, too, is in constant conflict but, unfortunately, the ugli ness transcends the beautiful life. This is distressing, j Dahlias may be planted this i menth in all sections of the state. Be sure that you have a good bud on the stem end 'of the root. Jonquil leaves are begin ning to droop but don't lift the bulbs, if they need lift ing and dividing this year, until after the leaves have turned brown. As long as the leaves are green, chloro phyll is being manufactured.' This important process stores energy in the bulbs for next year’s flowers. If you want to try some thing new, and the bulbs arc planted at least four inches deep, you might remove the leaves, when brown, and over plant the bed with petunias. , Elephant cars, fancy-lcaved in Theater No. 10 at Fort Bragg.
