P!an!^ Propagation
By M. E. GARDNER
<N. C. State CoUege)
Hardy Chrysanthemums prob
ably give you more coior than any
other lowering piant you can grow.
Now is the time to prepare for the
.ate summer and early fall color
parade. ^
You have three choices: (1) buy
rooted cuttings: (2) root your own
cuttings from the new growth ch
your plants: (3) divide the root
clumps. Chrysanthemums will come
back from the same location for
several years, but they are usually
oest the first year.
Plant glad corms every two weeks
for a succession of flower: during
the summer. In the vegetable gar
den. succession plantings of sweet
corn and snap beans are hr order
for the lower Piedmont and East
ern Carolina.
Tomato Plant Care
Stake and mulch tomato plants.
Before mulching, cultivate to de
stroy weeds. The mulch should be
about four inches deep and can be
made of clean grain straw or pine
straw. Keep the tomatoes pruned
by pinching out the tender shocts
as they form in the axils of the
ieaves tat the base of the leaf
stem). Don't let them get too long
before pinching.
The irts may be considered as the
constant companion of a weii
pianned garden. They grow weii in
a!) sections of the state and are
itttte troubie. Rhizomes may be di
vided any time after the biooming
period anti! about October in the
iewer Piedmont and Eastern Car
oiina and September in the moun
tains. s ,
Be on guard for iace bugs on
azaiea, pyracantha, Washington
hawthorne and rhododendron.
Spray with Maiathicn, mixed with
water according to instructions. Do
a good Job of covering ieaves, es
peciaiiy the undersides.
Feed Property
This is the growing season and
the time to see that vegetables,
shade trees, fiowet.n:, shrubs and
aii growing things are property fed.
Don't over-do the feeding scheduie
ft is better to feed iightiy and
often — rather than infrequent
heavy feedings. Fresh manure is
good if you have it. Dehydrated
manure can be purchased. Most of
us use a complete fertilizer such as
ah 8-3-3. A special acid-forming
fertilizer is best for azaleas and
camellias
Plants must be fed with bare and
understanding. There is no rule of
thumb. Frequency and amounts of
plant food applied will depend up
cn the kind of plant and the soil
type.
