Russ. Gomme, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry Of Agrigniture and Food, says that, it can pro, bably be propagated by tatting cuttings. Nearly all flowering shrub will root this way. The first step is to prepare a small area in the garden for the your plants OR use a wood box at least 0 inches deep. An ideal soil mixture is sifted sand and vermiculite. Some shredded peat moss is also good. Mix it well then, tamp to a level surface. Take cuttings from healthy mature plants. They can be pulled from the shrub easily. Use your thumb, and forefinger to pull away side shoots growing from the main stems. The butt-end will contain wood from the pre- vious year's growth. To pre- vent withering, place the cuttings in a pail of water and plant as soon as possible. Thoroughly soak the soil and insert each cutting as deeply as possible. At least half the cutting should be under the soil surface. For the next 3 to 4 weeks, keep, the soil damp. During hot weather, the cuttings can be shaded with a sheet of burlap to prevent wilting and drying. The cuttings should be rooted in about a month. A light app- lication of fertilizer will help feed the new plants. The new shrubs should be left in the planting area until next spring, to allow them to develop a good root system. WATERING LAWNS EARLY MORNING IS BEST Most lawns are in good con- dition right now because of ab- undant rainfall. But that doesn't mean you should put the garden hose away, says John Hughes, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Most homeowners tend to water their lawns too often and too lightly. This method of water- ing encourages shallow root growth and increases the possib- ility of damage during the hot summer months. Generally it is better to water a lawn heavily and less frequently. The amount of water needed varies, depending on the soil, the weather and the grass var- iety. At the first sign of wilt hook up the sprinkler for the top inch dries rapidly. To gauge the amount of water applied, place a pan in the area covered by the sprinkler. For most soils, an accumulation of 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water in the pan is adequate. I t may be necessary to move the sprinkler several times to prevent puddling. The best time to irrigate is the early morning so the water can move down into the soil. When a lawn is watered later in the day, much of the water evaporates. Care should be taken when watering in the early evening. On warm nights water remains on the leaves and may lead to disease. SUMMER CARE FOR CHRISTMAS POINSETTIA If you want your poinsettia to bloom again nex t Christmas, here are a few points to re- member from R.W. Crawford, horticultural specialist, Ontario. Ministry of Agriculttre and Food. Pinch back the plant several time between no w and the mid- September. This makes it bush- ier and does not harm the plant. Pinching also prevents ending up with a tall gawky poinsettia. Re- move any of the shoots- to keep the plant at the desired height. Poinsettias require high nat- ural light intensity. But re- member, they must net 'receive any artificial light after Sept- ember. Even the slightest amount of artificial light, such as from a street light, will prevent it from flowering. Keep the plant out of all stray light and this popUlar favorite Will renew itself in time fcir Christmas.
