Garden Gossip
BY BERYL HARPER
This column is addressed to
all would-be gardeners, the
experts and the novices. There
are two activities in which
garden club members will be
participating this year, or will!;
be involved in sOline manner.
It should be of iipiterest to the
- - people of the Goderich area to
know that two more flower beds
are to be started this spring.
The Maple Leaf Chapter,
I.O.D.E. is donating thirty rose
bushes for a rose bed in the
park at the site of the Salt
Cairn, just opposite the Huron
County Jail, The Ahmeek
Chapter, I.O.D.E. has con-
sultedJVirs: Elsa Haydon, who
is ;the town council represen-
tative in charge of the park •
areas in town, to choose a site
for their rose bed.
• . This project is to mark the
75th Birthday .of the Imperial
Order Daughters of the Empire
in 1975. The selling and planting
of these rose bushes across
Canada is a National project
signifying the concern _of all ,
I.O:D.E. members for the
needs of children, The . net
proceeds will be, used to im-
plement various projects in
each Province based on this
national theme.
The I.O.D.E, rose bush is
°described'as "a new,- Canadian -
bred, red floribunda, which is'
hardy, retains its colour and
lasts as well as a cut flower".
The Maple Leaf Chapter is
donating also 15 plants" to
Huronview for a rose garden
there. If the new rose beds are
as successful as the lovely ones e
started in 1967 as a Centennial
project in the quaint islands at I
• the -intersections of sone -off Durr : e

[
May Mooney was in charge o
parks, all the citizens o
Goderich will be proud of the
and will enjoy them.
At that time, Miss Mar
Howell°and Mrs. Jean McKee
members of the Garden Club
and specialists in the art o
growing roses, instructed th
men of the town's park staff
how to`plant, prune and care fo
the excellent, hardy stock
provided. The lessons were wel
taken, as the lovely blooms o
the rose bed' at the "corners of
Nelson, Colborne and Waterloo
Streets may be seen all sum-
mer.
Perhaps some of the readers
may wish to have I,O.D.E. rose
bushes in their own gardens; if
so, the plants should be ordered
before March 30th, from the
conveners of this project, Mrs.
Joan Van Den Broeck, of the
Maple Leaf Chapter and Miss
Helen McCarthy of theAhmeek
Chapter. The rose bustles cost
$3:50 each, or three for $10.00,

, Finding out how to prevent the
, same thing from happening in
f 1975 "depends `entirely on
e pinning down the cause," says

specialist, H. C. Wright.

I A shortage of.any of the vital
nutrients — nitrogen,
phosphorus, potash — will
affect the filling out of the ear,
but determining which nutrient
is short is difficult. "If a farmer
can remember what the plant
leaves looked like in Sep-
tember; this, together with the
shape of the ear; makes the
problem easier to pinpoint,"
says Mr. Wright. "However, a
far better idea is to talk to the
local agricultural represen-
tative or soils and crops
specialist, outlining field
practices and the results of any
recent soil tests." If there's a
suspicion of a 'nutrient
deficiency, a soil sample should
be taken.
Water ,is equally important.

As many realize by,now, Mrs.
Jean McKee, of RR 4,
Goderich,.. is an expert hor-
ticulturist, and for the past six
years has conducted courses in
flower arranging for the home.
To include many types of
flowers, grass, weeds and
what -have -you, in the various
arfangements, four sessions
are run in June, and the last
three classes are later on in
September and October.
The succ''ess of the Flower
Festival in the Court House

who have had this preparation.

In some fields, the problem is
root damage and poor uptake.
Damage by corn rootworm
larvae feeding on the roots is
evident if the corn was
goosenecked. Tfe range for
rootworm is normally con-
sidered to be in southwestern
Ontario, '`but there are
definitely no rootworm
problems east of Toronto's
Yonge Street," Mr, Wright
says.
