'FOR A
GREENER THUMB
By G. MacLeod Ross
NOW ' IS THE TIME I
Here are a few of the things
which should be done now in
the garden:
Bearded Iris have finished
flowering and it is the moment
to move them or to divide them
if they have been in the . same
position for five years or more.
As the leaves wither they may
be cut down to fans eight
inches radius. Iris also appreci-
ate a dressing of supenphos-
phates at this time. Look for
disease; rotting of ,the whiz-
- omes and brown spotted leaves.
Cut out all rot ruthlessly and.
disinfect the remaining portion
'of the rhizome, •if any, in pot-
assium permanganate solutiop
or roll in dry flowers of sul-
phur. Replanting and the pro-
vision of new soil is alsore-
commended. Keep the soil light
and well drained, adding coarse
sand and ashes of coal,. Now
is also the time to buy new
plants and Cruickshank's cata-
,IQg1ie is just to hand with 20%
miscount for members. Among
tile "Five Iris of 1963" are:
Bang, a bold red; Carmela, a
crinkled honey and caramel;
Pink Chimes, a deep pink; and
--Patience, a light red violet.
There is also a rich red, deep
mahogany called -Tall Chief
which few will be able 1Q_ pass
up when they see its colored
portrait.
Oriental Poppies are also
over for the year. ,They may
be divided and moved and new
plants ordered for delivery in
late August. There are some
good shades in waterrnelon rose,
geranium pink, white and shell
pink to be had. Oriental Pop-
pies need full sun to do them-
selves justice.
Lily of the Valley is admitted-
ly
dmittedly a 'weed in our soil, yet its
fragrance makes it hard to ig-
nore and an effort should be
made to obtain good stems. Be-
cause a bed becomes so matted
with new points there is all
the more reason "to ;give a good
. dressing of bonemeal at this
juncture.
Dahlias are now in bloom. To
obtain good blooms and keep
them flowering keep cutting out
the two shoots which appear
either side of the main stem.
Such disbudding is essential to
preserve size and continuity of
blooms.
Chrysanthemums should have
been nipped to encourage more
shoots and July_ .Oth -the dal
-est date on which this operation
should be carried out.
Aquilegia or Columbine is
such a lovely and long flower-
ing plant (6-$ weeks) that itis
o surprising sd few grow it. Seed
of the giant spurred varieties
if sown now will provide good
plants for setting out before
winter is upon us. ' For the
third year in succecssion, Mrs.
Gene Ryan won a •first with
her magnificent aquilegias in
the recent flower show. It is
time that someone gave her
some competition.
Roses. Climber and shrub
roses should be pruned as soon
as flowering is over to stimulate
growth on which next year's
buds will set. Remove one or
two of the older canes, cutting
as near the soil line as possible.
A saw inay be necessary, but
'under no circumstances give
your bush a haircut. Hybrid
tea roses are now nearing the
end of their first flowering:
When this is over, they require
T-.. their third and last feeding.

in the Spring. The second
• when the bushes were about to
flower. Twp of these feedings`
may be with a dry fertilizer
such. as bonemeal and super -
phosphates, but one should be
with a liquid 5-10-5 formula.
Shrubs. Flowering shrubs
should be pruned after they

Ate reittoval o oTt wood if
doom is desired. Almond aeemsr
susceptible to blight after flow-
ering and an insecticide spray
is advisable. Cut off and burn
all dead leaves. For Taxus,
rake in around the root area
arsenate of lead and water it in.
Lilacs, the hybrids, should by
now have had all the old blos-
som carefully cut ,out. -'Do not
eut too low or your potential
budding stock will be ruined.
Cut off all suckers as low as
possible and rake in a mixture
of ibonemeal and garden lime
round the root area. When
lilacs become crowded, they
often suffer from two forms of
blight; theone produces black
Spots on the leaves, the second
dark brown ones. Either may -
kill the young shoots back to
.tele. rpareni stock. To avoid
these .blights, -cut out the dead
brarlehes and let in the sun and
air and spray with bordeaux
mixture when the leaves are

contain urea, then . the lawn
'will need a second treatment of
fertilizer now. August is a
good month to sow seed to Alf
holes where weed killer, such
as Compitox, 'has killed patches
of weed. Buy the seed now,
and have it ready for a damp
August day.

Goderich Township Studying
Beach and Riverside Problems
Goderich Township council,
mbeting last week, decided to
apply calciwn on the, road lead-
ing into Bluewater Beach to
out the heavy dust problem, and
also promised the residents ,f
the subdivision they would
study plans to 'provide them
with access to an adjoining
beach area.
Harry Allen and Mr. Huggins,
residents of the area, ppeared
before council requesting aid
in giving the owners access to
nearby Black's Point, due to
the fact that the Bluewater
Beach area is unsuitable for
swimming.
The gentlemen reported that
an algae in the water was creat-
ing green moss and while the
residents had spent considerable
money in attempting to clear
the slime, it had been of little
avail.
Like Meadow
Huggins stated they had spent
$380 this year but the area
"looks like a meadow" with the
green -algae clinging to the
rocks.
The two men said that unless
beach facilities could be found,
property values would drop
drastically and .this would also
be harmful to the economy of
the township.
They requested that a park-
ing lot be furnished at Black's
Point and steps be built to the
beach area.
Council promised they would
look into the situation.
The request for a solution to
the dust problem was written
td council by the . secretary of
the Bluewater Beach Associa-
tion and followed a delegation
at last month's meeting.
Roy Tyndall, road superin-
tendent, was authorized to apply
•caleium ,to •the road to keep the
dust down.
Problems With Steps
Council also received a letter
from J. C. Hindmarsh, stating
he was seeking permission to
build steps to the beach in the
area of Bluewater 'Beach., He
noted that the steps would be
open to the public. ,
Reeve Walter Forbes report-
ed that- Hindmarsh had admit-
ted to him that he had been`
responsible for shoving some of
the existing steps built by • the
Bluewater • Beach Association
down the side of the bank, .be -
•cause they had been built on
the road allowance.
Deputy -reeve Grant 'Stirling
stated that Hindmarsh "had no

damn business "tomove them,”
noting that even if they had
been extending onto the road
allowance he had no authority
to move them without council's
permission. ,
For Protection
Forbes explained that the
residents of the Bluewater
Beach did not mind people us-
ing the steps, and had put a
sign on them stating they were
private property in an effort
to protect themselves in case
someone was hurt •while using
them. '
He added that, there were a
great many gate posts and even
fences throughout the township
that were built on the road
allowances, and noted that it
wouldn't be right for private
citizens to come along and pull
them down. '
Forbes stated that the two
cement pillars at the beach had
been shoved down the bank
with a tractor.
Stirling suggested that a let-
ter be sent to Hindmarsh stating
that it would be. in the best
interest not to have steps built
at the present time.
However; councillor Everett
Mcllwain Suggested r. council
should contact their insurance
company to see what liability
protection they would have in
regard to accidents on the
steps.
Clerk R. E. Thompson, was
authorized to wx„i Mr. Hind -
marsh instructifig him that
council would seek this inform-
ation before approving t h e
building of any steps.
To Investigate
After hearing complaints of
drinking and necking sessions
on property near that of Stan
Whiteman, council told the man
they would investigate his sug-
gestion that the area be turned
into a park :so activities could
be controlled.
Whiteman, who owns Prop-
erty near' the river on the out-
skirts of Goderich, said the Po-
lice hod given him wonderful
co-operaatiofl in the matter, but
he said the problem still ex-
isted. a-' •
Due ' to the 'fact that it was
not known whether the road'
leading to the river was a town-
ship road or • merely a private
lane,° council said they would
have to check this out before
taking, any action.
Thyy told Whiteman that if
it was only .a private lane, it
could be closed off to traffic.
Will Keep Trailers
• Reeve°Walter Forbes reported
to council he felt they would
have. little opposition in their
bid to retain a two -acre trailer
camp on the property being
sought for annexation from
Harry Mitchell by Goderich
'council.
He said that Goderich Mayer,
Ernie Fisher,' had stated that
he would be willing to leave
the trailer cartip portion out of
the land to be annexed, as coun-
cil earlier noted this would re-
sult in lost revenue for the
township.
Councillor Mcllwain added
that Mitchell was also agreeable
to keeping the portion of land.
The township will also seek
a payment of $785.29 in lieu of
lost school debenture payments
from the property as the other
proposal for' a basis of settle-
ment for the annexation df the
land._
