If yours are looking a lit tle puny this year, too much fertilizer might be the problem. The problem may show up in the form of a lot of foliage and a few flowers, according to Henry J. Smith, extension land scape horticulturist at North Carolina State University. Giving the daffodils too much fertilizer each spring after they have finished blooming can lead to crowding. Digging and dividing the bulbs would be in order. Smith suggests putting the larger bulbs back into the site and using the smaller ones to start a new bed of daffodils else where. Demo Chairman Announces Downeaster With the Presidential Preference Primary decided foi North Carolina, the Democratic political spotlight now shifts tc District Conventions scheduled May 8, the Democratic State Convention slated for June 12, and the State Primary set for August 17.

Sugg.

Tickets for the $50-per-plate affair are available from any of North Carolina’s Democratic County Chairmen, or from State Party Headquarters at Raleigh’s Hilton Inn. The Theme for this year’s Downeast’er is the Party’s continuing theme for this election year: "UNITY FOR VICTORY IN *76!” Start Summer Annuals Early, Cut Color Void The delay between spring and summer flow ers doesn't have to be so long. You can shorten the void by giving summer flowering plants a jump on the season by starting them indoors. The unusually early warm weather has al ready triggered the flow ering of bulbs and other early bloomers. Before long, dogwoods, cherries, crabapples and many others will be in full flower. They’re beautiful, everyone agrees, but they don’t last long enough. This could be partic ularly true this year since the flowering has started so early. Getting the summer color early will fill the void, and this is where the indoor-started sum mer annuals come into the picture. "Two factors are im portant in starting the annuals indoors,” said Henry J. Smith, extension landscape horticulturist at North Carolina State University. ‘‘These are, good seed and sterile soil.” Smith makes these sug gestions: Use a small box or seed flat with a few small bits of gravel placed in the bottom for drainage. Fill to within an inch of the top with a mixture of good soil of two parts garden soil, one part leafmold or peat moss and two parts sand. Be certain that all ma terials are sterile and free of disease organisms. This can be done with small quantities of soil by baking the soil in a flat container in a 200-degree oven for about 15 min utes. When the soil is coo], sift through a fine screen wire and put it in the seeding flat. Mark off rows in the flat with a straight edge, such as a ruler, and sow seeds in these narrow slits.
