'TRANSPLANTING
A common error in gardening
is to.. assume' that transplanting
is an operation which does the
Plant good, -apart from. }such
...corisidetations 'as allowing the
individual plant 'more room, 'etc.
This impreSsion, is common, -ev-
en among :old, exPerienced . gar-
deners:
There is -no !benefit in , trans-
planting: the 'act is :actually a
.setback for the -:seedling, which
has its roots cut .short and pro-
cesses Of food and water move-
ment in the plant curtailed. It
Is. of no more use. to the plant.
than An,- appendectomy or an
!amputatiOn would ibe to a hu-:
man being.•
.
• Some . seedlings cannot toler-
ate the shock of transplanting,
,and must be 'sow.n. where they
are to grow. Or nowadays' we.
can .plant ,thein., in. the q3eat-and-
fiber -pots . which are. planted
arongwith the ,seedling and need
•not s be rernoVed., 1111104, they
cannotbe. taken Off . in most
cases because the roots • have
penetrated the pot walls. •
Some plants which are ',best
Seeded •direct- : include zinnias.
These have along tap . root
Which is injuted in transplant-
ing. Whilethe seedlings usually
survive, the operation doesthem
considerable ;:harm. •
• Equally delicater,.but . for 1 an-
othpr' -reason, are the roOts: of
the _vine ;crops, such as cucum-
bers,. melons and squashes. :In'
the pat, if these were .,started
indoors at all; they were seed-
ed' into Upside . clown buts Of.
sod intowhichthe • roots :grew.
When • transplanting tithecame,'
the entire . clump of . sod was
planted. . •:
Today,: , the larger peat4lber.

indOOrs. There Is' 'actually very
little to be gained; ,13y •this-

• All this :Means' that the'gar-

Want To,Buy Crab Grass Seed?
YOu may find . this hard to
believe, but its actually jiaosai,
'We to buy crab „grass seed.' In
fact- this. is a vintage and bar-
gain year as far aS -the seed
of this obnoxious lawn . pest is
cOncerned,. and'1 you, can .buy it
fOr $2.00 per ,pound. I've -S.een
-the:time ,‘when' you had to pay
as much as $5.00 •a0b; for .:use
in herbicide teSts: This high
price may come as a' :shock to
'Many ..a hon4 .oWner who Claims'
the .grass seed he- sowed was
praatioally all crab grass:
• Oyer the 'years I've had many
• calls from -irate' home' 'garden-
ers who say they're preparedto
prove. • this statement •• that
they sowed ..nothing but, .what
was in the package and • nothing
but- crab grass •Came up. Des-
pite this seemingly .perfet.
proof, the chances are .a „million: •
to., one he didn't get. --a` single
crab grass seed.' Even if' he•
bought the cheapest seed con-
taining 1 -little other -than s rye
grass,timothy and chaff, I could
grass. 'didn't get -any crab
The reason why I'm certain
crab grass seed .cannot be found
in, Cornmercial, mixtures, is one
of .:siniple inechanics, First: blue
grasses, feseues and bent grass-
es, which' are 131re ingredients of. ••
any. gra-SS seed mixture, mature
their seeds . in. late June and
are picked or stripped triechart-.
ically n.ot- later' than July 10th.
In the seed prOdUaing. • :areas;
.crab grass :.has barely begun, to
grow , and spread by: • then. 'and
never sets seed that- early.. The
interval .:between the to. crops .
makes coritamination' ,:Virtually ,
' • •
Furthermore, .evenif the two.,
did ,mattureseed together, a dif-
,
etence in height .•••prevents
the -
picker ,(whieh works 30 to 36"
above the surface) frpm'
piek-
in up seed fr�m-crab grass
plants :that niatur e at. ,abotrt
high: A third factor is that crab
grass•matures onlyia 'few *seeds •
• •
at a . time;.,, not all at :once, one, 1 •
reason it: is :costly to harvest.
If, 'crab. grass doesn't some in •
