DIVE INTO THE SAVINGS Mid-Summer Sale All Clothing & Swimsuits 40-75% Off All laannna 473 OCEAN BLVD. WEST-HOLDEN BEACH-842 3660 Material, Help Available In Learning Plants Dear Plant Doctor: 1 am serious ly learning about and identifying new plants. What books or other materials arc available that can help a beginner lcam about native and cultivated plants? Answer: One of the main reasons I entered the study of plant science is because of my desire to lcam the names of plants in the woods around my home. Many good amateur plant identification books and- manuals are available. In most instances these books will do an outstanding job of quickly and accurately help ing you identify the plant in ques tion. If you are really serious about learning plant identification, consid er taking a college level course in botany and plant taxonomy. A good plant taxonomy course will teach you the "most rapid scientific method" of identifying an unknown plant. C. Ritchie Bell, Ph.D., (retired professor of botany at the University of North Carolina) taught me one of the most beneficial courses I ever had the pleasure to "sweat" through. A plant taxonomy course will help you better understand "how" and "why" plants arc classified and named. In the process, you will learn more plants than you thought hu manly possible. Dear Plant Doctor: I just re ceived a nematode assay back from the North Carolina Department of iHE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist Agriculture. The results indicate that I have large numbers of "sling" ne matodes in my bermuda grass lawn. No curative measures arc recom mended. What can 1 do? Answer: Maintain your lawn un der optimum cultivation practices. No nematicide is available for homeowner use. The "sting nematode" damages the root system by using a special ized feeding tube called a "stylet" to puncture the juicy growing lip of the root and then suck plant juices from the plant. This process kills the root lip and severely hinders root growth. Grass plants trying to grow a root system under attack by "sting" ne matodes will be stunted, yellow, and respond poorly to fertilizers and wa ter. Sting nematode damage is most severe in sandy soils and least se vere in clay soils. The only grass I know that is truly resistant to "sting" nematodes is bahia grass. Dear Plant Doctor: How do ! propagate Bougainvilleal Also, what would be the best way to "win ter" a large potted plant? Will it sur. vive our winters if it is well mulched? Answer: Propagation of Bougainvillea may prove difficult. A 4-inch to 5-inch leafy cutting is best taken during the summer. Strip off all leaves but the uppermost two or three. Dip the lower stem into Rootone, Hormodin or similar rooi promoting hormone compound Mist propagation, high humidity, and bottom heat (80F-85F) seem to produce optimum rooting. Bougainvillea is a tropical plant and under normal conditions will not survive our winters. This plant is best suited to greenhouses or well lighted atriums. Redwine To Speak Suite Rep. E.
