slopes, operate from side. to
side (vertical operation
vites trouble). Work in
daylight hours only and
never on wet grass. Stop the
motor when the mower is
unattended even for a mo-
ment.
Power Mowers should only
be operated by adults or
responsible teenagers.
Children who lack the
physical ability, experience
and judgement to operate
these machines safely are
far too often injured by
them. Keep them from hap-
pening to your family.
Adventure, but don't invite failure
Remember.7. the first
season you became confi-
dent enough to adventure
with new gardening techni-
ques end brand •new
varieties? Then, by, ex-
perience, you've discovered
there's a fine line between
being adventurous and being
foolhardy.
, Foolhardy gardeners fall
for sucker advertisements,
or for seeds and plants that
promise unbelievable advan-
tages. Adventurous
gardeners read ads and
labels very carefully and ask
questions of their local Coun-
ty Agricultyral Agent. They
seldom choose a flower or
vegetable that doesn't grow
well for them.
It's always a 'good idea to
ask your local garden centre
to help you select the newest
and best varieties. They see
previews of the new
varieties . and can tel you .if
they will grow well in your.
garden. Don't be timid; ask-
ing questions sure beats
looking at a botanical turkey
in your garden and asking,
"Now, why on earth did I
plant that?"
Prune Hedge
Always prune a hedge so
that the base is wider than
the• top. This allows light to
reach the lower branches
and produces a hedge that is
full to the base.
