GARDEN
By: M. E. GARDNER
Pernaps some suggestions
about jobs that should be ac
complished at this season of the
year might be heipful.
Spray or dust your roses regu
lar y (once a week is not too
often) to control black spot, ap
hids and other diseases and in
sects Spray is best because of
better sticking qualit es to f 'U
age and stems. If you dust, be
sure to apply after each pro
longed rain or hard shower.
If you want large flowers, dis
hed by removing all buus. oth
er than the terminal one, on
each shoot —for teas and hybrid
teas.
If you have apple and peach
trees in your home garden,
spray them regularly, too. Would
suggest an "allpurpose” spray
for apples and also.for peaches.
Directions for mixing and ap
plying will be found on each con
tainer. The fruit tree spray pro
gram is the one that is usually
neglected *
Prune the early blooming
shrubs if they need p-mr:
spiraeas, flowerng a'rrrnds,
flowering quince and forsvthias.
Remove the older flowering
shoots for next year’s bloom.
Alrut the t. me the for

Q. My wife read somewhere
that a person should file a Medi
care claim in the 3 months be
fore he’s 65. Well I’ll be 65 in a
little over 3 months. But I know
almost nothing about Medicare.
Please tell me what benefits it
provides for us "aging” people.
A. That’s a large order for one
answer but we’ll try. You
know, of course, “aging” i s
something that everyone has
in common With everyone else.
True, some are further down
the road right now than others.
But give the others time!
