Boxwood, peonies, ivy and oth ornamental plants suffered greatly from the severe winter just past, and more particularly from the "cold snaps" during the early spring, says Howard R. Garriss, assistant Ex tension plant pathologist of N. C. State College. He reports that more than 100 specimens of box plants suffering from cold injury have been received for diagnosis recently by the college plant disease laboratory. "The cold damage was especially evident in the piedmont section," Garriss declared. "In most cases the killing out of plants took pl-ce where box bushes were weakened and sui ferimr the effects of the drought last summer, or from other condi tions." The specialist said thai fortunate ly only the young tender shoots stimulated into new growth during fJi short warm neriods were the greatest sufferers from sudden drops in temperature. Where only young shoots are killed, the plants should soon recover with continued warm weather. Where only twigs have been killed, the plant pathologist recommends that these be pruned out and the bushes be sprayed thoroughly with a 4-4-150 Bordeaux mixture every two weeks until continued hot weath er prevails. The reason for pruning out the dead wooV he explained, is to prevent parasites from living over and probably infesting the healthy wood. If diseases a? present, the spray will tend to prevent their spread. Plants, heretofore healthy and vig orous, but weakened by ,the cold weather, will be more subject to disease and they should be sprayed regularly during the current season.

By Margaret Cousins Every year I think that I May be more callous to the spring That 1 shall grow up, by and by, And not be charmed by anything As banal as a blooming tree, A dogwood thicket, or a bird Collecting twigs.

In the picturesque garden, in which flowers are grown to make a picture, a major problem is plan ning for a succession of bloom. In such a garden there must be a con tinuous show. The gardener is a stage manager, who must plan and produce a series of spectacles to charm the beholders. To the uninitiated this may seem more difficult than it really is. The supply of actors for the garden show is almost unlimited. A seed cata log gives an amazing list, of all iypes, tall, .short, - blonde, brunette; vigorous, delicate, . whatever you may .want. . Nature has provided them In great abundance. Each flower has its season of oloom, determined by nature, and you have only to select from those which bloom each season, types vhich will fit into the composition jf your garden picture. It is possible to produce a contin uous show of flowers with perenni als and annuals grown from seed. No one need hesitate about com bining these classes of flowers in the border. The modern idea is to consider flowers solely frcm the standpoint of their effectivencf : i'i the picture, without regard to Whether they live one ycur cr twenty. Of exurec perennials gi. ue ear lier': Towers and the largest plants. A perennial starts the season full frewn, whereas annuals must make their g-owth from seed and pro duce their flowers the same season. Perennials often last for years, while annuals die each fall. Never theless among the modern annuals, with their constantly improved types, there are many which rival perennials in size; though none which bloom so early as the earli est perennials. Among-the arly perennials which can be grown from seed ara an chusa myosoUdiflora, which has flowers like the forget-me-not, in April; the columbines, which flow;? in April; arafr's alpina, whrc.t makes a carpet of white flowers in April; the Elder daisy, which blossoms in May; dictamnus, or gas plant, which flowers in May; linum perenne, or flax, which flow ers in May; mertensia virginica, or Virginia cowslip, which flowers In May; nepeta musslni, mauve cat nip, flowering in May; polemonlum coeruleum, or Jacob's ladder, bear i ir; racemes of blue belllflowera in ')rii; ranunculus asiatfeus, double '.u" icup, flowering in May. atioii'&r$he Department's "program to assist farmers In better pacxing and handling methods," Scott said. "Insnectors will devote a pars 01 their time in assisting growers in modern marketing procedures tn ar effort to bring them maximum prices for their crop." . The 1939 strawberry crop Drougnr North Carolina producers approxi mately $1,316,000, or an average of $2.60 a crate. "Although the indicated 1940 berry acreage of 5,900 acres represents a THin-tion of 2.000 acres compared with J939, the yield is expected to he comparatively heavy, Wefitcott said. "The strawberry yield last season totaled ? 606,000 twenty-four quart crates.: The yield this year i estimated at 502,000 crates."
