ORNAMENTALS By JOHN H. HARRIS, Extension Horticulturist Do you have a green thumb? If not. maybe this' information on how to plant! trees and shrubs will help you develop one. If you buy ball and bur laped plants, handle them with the ball only?not with the top. If your plants can not be planted immediately when they arrive, kMp them cool and moist until they can be put back into the .?oil. Before doing any planting, remove all Bermuda grass, if It is present. You can re move it by hand or you fan do it much easier by wait ing until next spring and use chemical* such as Dalapon, Atlacide or TCA. Once the grass la removed it can be kejt from reeatttdag the bed by spraying around the edges with one of the above chem ical*. If you are spacing your plants less than six feet apart it will probably pay you to prepare the entire bed rather than individual hole*. This is especially true with plants like azaleas and roses. In preparing my beds for azal eas, roses and other shallow ?rooted plants, I work into the soil three to four inches of peat moss, leaf mold, well rotted sawdust, manure or other forma of organic mat ters. At the same time I'm working this in, I work about three pints of M4 fertilizer to each 100 square feet This means the entire bed is pre pared so digghlg hole* is no problem. If you do not prepare the entire bed, dig each hole at least IS inches wider on all sides and six indies deeper than necessary to accomodate the ball or anil or root sys tem. Set the plant so it will stand the same depth that it grew originally. In ease of camellias, dogwoods, azaleas, and boxwoods, set them slightly higher to allow for settling. These plants win not grow if planted even one or two inches too deep. Leave the burlap on plants that have been wrapped this way. Place bare-rooted plants in the soil so the roots an in thair normal position. Pill in under plant with good coll and pack thoroughly to pro vent the plant from settling. If you do not have good top soil, mix with your toil some form of organic matter such as peatmoss. Fill in around the plant and pack thorough yi. Fill the hole nearly full and then water thoroughly. Make a ring of soil two or three inches high around the plant to retain water when it is added in the future. When the plant starts growing in the spring fertilize with an 8-8-8 fertilizer at the rate of about three pints to each 10 by 10 feet (100 sq. ft.). Mulch with three tc four inches of pine straw or other coarse material. The last and most import ant thing is prune the plant back. Unless you are using a container-grown plant, re move one-third to one-half of the top to balance it with loss of roots. GUNS . . . FRIENDS OR FOES? Many people have an inher ent fear of guns. Yet by knowing and following a few simple criteria, this fear can be translated to a feeling of respect and understanding. Since its invention, the gun has been a specialized tool and an fid to man and his growth through subsequent civilizations. It has provided him with food and clothing, protection and security?even conquest and defeat. Yet so ciety rebel* at the wanton use of guns by its undesir able ui embers. And because of this mis-use of firearms, the gun today is looked upon WiUiKdiatyustbk}! some. At this season of the year guns are brought out into the open by the vast army of hunters who take to our fields, forests, and marshes. Fortunately though, only a comparative few of these hun ters fail to recognize that in their sport they are partici pating in the only sport in which the '?contestant" is us ing equipment that is design ed to kill. These we need to reach. Think Safety? Safety with firearms while hunting?is basically an atti tude; a personal problem that only the individual can roobils for A* first ttw oi driving it oo tb? highway*. If we are so strict about these, why at Christmas ttm give a gun with its destruc tive potential but fail to pro vide instruction in its proper use? There sre numerous places where help may be obtained when more knowledge of gun safety is needed. First UM Hunter Safety Training Pro jgrsm of your Wildlife Re j sources Commission; then there sre local pistol and 1 rifle clubs, wildlife clubs, | sporting goods stores, police | and sheriffs departments.
