BOX FURNIT LT Seoforth ti 61 Fertilizers improve vegetable garden crop Roses, most populAr of all flowers do's and don't's to keep them bloomjng Probably the single most important step the home gardener can take to im- prove vegetable yield is to fertilize, just as farmers do. A common mistake among homeowners is be- lieving that garden com- post will provide adequate plant nutrients. Compost made mainly froni, grass clippings and kitchen wastes break down to make a good soil condition- er, but are generally lack- ing in enough plant nutri- ents to really make a signi- ficant difference in growth. To get the best possible yield from a home vege- table garden, a fertilizer designed specifically for vegetables should be used. It will provide the essen- tial nutrients in sufficient amounts and proper bal- ance. Some of the newer vege- table garden fertilizers are formulated to be used on a wide variety of vege- tables — whether leaf, root or fruit crops—which makes them very conveni- ent to use. Roses are versatile, beautiful and e "sy to 'care for, They can bloom from April to November and reward the gardener with a rainbow of different col- ors and a variety, of sizes. • DO choose a sunny spot for planting. • DON'T crowd too many plants together. Easy access to each plant is a must. • DO plant in a hole 18-20 inches in diameter with the bud onion, (thick- ened portion at the top of the root) above the • soil. • DO Water roses fre- quently. Water should reach the full depth of the roots. DO nourish plants with "Precise" Timed Re- lease Rose Food, which contains a balanced com- bination of nutrients (8- 12-4) designed for sturdy plants and abundant blooms. A single applica- tion is sufficient for the entire season! • DON'T be afraid of pruning. It's necessary to encourage new growth. Trim dead leaves, limbs and weak or damaged twigs. DO cut 1/3 of last year's new growth on a 45° angle above each leaf bud. S DON'T forget to spray! It's an important part of rose care to insure pest-free plants. • DO spray in the 'eve- ning so that the combina- tion of pesticide and heat won't burp the leaves. • DON'T neglect winter protection. Cover the bud onion (at stem base) with 8" of soil. After soil freezes place straw or leaves on it, Regrowth of pesky weeds permanently eliminated Plant seeds are probably the world's greatest travel-I ers. They travel as stow-1 aways on boots, in boats,' trains and planes, in ani- mals' fur, and in birds' feathers and droppings. They can be carried long distances by water and wind. Probably the best knownt of the weed travelers is the seed of the dandelion. When its familiar white puffball breaks apart, liter- ally hundreds of dandelion seeds take off under silky parachutes and can be airborne for miles. A season later, on almost any street in any neighbor- hood, lawn owners can be seen on hands and knees pulling up the enemy by the hundreds. There' is little chance of the laWn owner being the victor in this type warfare. The plant's top growth may no longer be visible, but its taproots — one, 'two or even three feet deep — are almost impossible to remove completely. Be- ing regenerative, whatever root is left usually starts growing back again, and before long the lawn own- er is right back where he or she started. If it sounds as though defeat is inevitable, not so! Scientific breakthroughs have given us the ability to easily control dandeli- ons and similar broadleaf weeds (plantain, buck- horn, chickweed) .
