Use detergent and rub gently SCHEDULE Monday. October 27, 9:00 a.m. Staff Conference. Landscape Gardening Winter Watering-Plants need moisture, even in winter. This is especially true of newly-planted trees and shrubs. When frost covers plants, and the days and nights are cold, we tend to forget that plants may need watering. If there is a lack of rainfall, it is advisable to soak soil around plants at least once a week. Apply water slowly, let the garden hose dribble around plants for several hours. Be sure to apply enough water to thoroughly soak soil throughout the root zone. Eye House Plants-Keep a watch ful eye on your house plants for evidence of low humidity, which is evidenced by marginal burning of leaves. Syringe leaves daily (except African voilets) to overcome arid conditions. If you have flowering plants, place them near windows. Place any flowering plant near a window where it will receive better light and the plant will be a bit cooler in heated rooms. Every few weeks, you will want to clean leaves with water. Sponge wash them gently with a moist cloth. Planting peonies and flower seed now-November is a good time to get peonies in the ground. Don't set them too deep-. The buds should be covered only to a depth of about two inches. Plant such bulbs as crocus, tulip, daffodil. Many flo wers will bloom better if planted in the fall. Among these are Sweet William poppy, larkspur Bells of Ireland, dianthus. Small plants will benefit from a mulch. Young roots are close to the soil surface. Freezing and thawing may tear these roots loose and cause injury or death. For color in the garden all winter long, try a few plants of flowering kale and flowering cabbage. These develop colored foliage which per sists all winter long. Varieties such as "Red on Green" and "White on Green" indicate red leaves sur rounded by green leaves and white leaves surrounded by green leaves. TIMELY CHORES-Mulch shrubbery and roses before hard freezes come. Set rose bushes. Cut back 6-8 inches. Mulch as soon as set. If foliage is healthy, let fallen leaves in shrub borders remain on the ground for mulch and plant food. If not already accomplished, divide and reset such perennials as phlox, violet, hollyhock, iris, day lily and Shasta daisy. Make cuttings of such as the spireas. forsythia. crepe myrtle and other deciduous shrubs. Do this before Christmas. 4-H Corner BY MARSHA SMITH & FREDDIE O'NEAL 4-H AGENTS On Saturday.
