THE GODERICB SIGN TAR OBITUARY e Gordon Linasw Smmith- A Centrepitge –Virtually every .garden, formal 'anfonmal is built around a lawn. The latter is the real centrepiece and the smoother and greener it is the better it shocks off the flow- ers, shrubbery and home. There are a lot of poor lawns in Capada but there shouldn't be, because paw and maintaining a re- spectable one is not difficult A few basic points should be kept in mind. First, we must remember that grass is a plant like a flower or a vegetable and if we want fine lux- uriant deep green growth we should feed -it ,once ui. a while ,just like we feed our fiowens and vege- tables. And another even more basic point is to make sure that we start with good seed, and suit- able seed. la these two points are kept in mind the rest is simple ..because healthy grass from healthy seed will pretty well take care of its own problems: likes Cool Weather Grass is mentioned at this time because liking cool weather it should be Sown as early in the spring as the soli is fit to work. On sandy land in some parts of Canada that means perhaps in March and certainly April or early May. A little frost will do no harm, but one should not sow, of course, until the .mud is gone and the soil works cleanly with a rake or fork. In new lawns it is very import- ant to work the soil thoroughly six inches or so deep and to have it as level as -possible. It is_ a lot easier filling in the holes and leveling before the grass seed is sown than afterwards. A good plan is to rake level then leave for a week or two to settle, then rake again.

AAI K --D E.- M® Ai T REAL eauadefo `76:41e Va«4 - LOCAL BRANCH: Bruce Armstrong,. Manager: WORKING WITH CANADIANS IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE SINCE to IT • ADI0 purposes like putting and howling greens, anixtures or .blends of grass seed are sown. In these there will be ane extra early and quick growing varieties w,hach some on fast, covering the emend, and pro- viding protection for the finer, more permanent and slower grow- ing types. Mixtures, too give some variety. While some are resting, others are thriving so that there is something green all season. As for actual sowing, if one follows the directions on the box, there is nothing to worry about. Nursery Stock This is the name given to any- thing in the way of started plants, shrubbery, trees,,, etc., purchased from seed house or nursery. Handl- ing this is another early job., Genn erally the earlier one plants per- ennials, shrubs, roses, vines, and trees in the spring, the quicker and surer they will grow. The main thing is to keep them moist and not to expose roots to the air. Good nursery stock will be moist, and limber on arrival with plenty of dorment buds. If one can plant promptly so much the better. But if the ground is frozen or not ready make sure the roots are kept moist and cool, and the branches or stems are shaded. If it is going to be several days or weeks before planting in perman- ent qu4rters one should "heel in," that is plant temporarily -in a shallow trench, spreading otit and covering the roots. In transplanting nursery stock or anything else it is most important not to expose roots to air but to cover quickly and firmly with fine soil well pressed down and to make sure the ground about the roots is moist and stays .moist for several days. Give Them Room Someone with plenty of time has counted the number of petunia seeds in a pound and found that there were ..no less than 3,712,000... And there are even tinier seeds than these, that of the lobelia for instance. Small though they be, all seeds as. Well as acorns will produce some iiiighty big plants. And it is of the mature plants' that we should be thinking, when we sow seeds or, plant young shrubs, trees or vines. (Most people have a tendency to plant much too close together, crowding big trees into small lawns or bushy shrubs right up against therfoundation pf a house, or have flowers and vege, tables far too crowded.
