KEEP BLADES SHARP
In some parts of the country lawns will already be
showing the benefits of your early fertilizing and weed
prevention activities.. In other areas you'll still be wait-
ing for the lawn to assume its best appearance. But
to keep it that way you have to remember two rules.
One is to keep your lawn well watered during dry
weather. The other is that the lawn should not be
cut as short as when growth is more vigorous.
Your lawn mower blades
must be sharp. If not, the
ends of your grass will have
a brown cast because the
blades are tearing rather than
cutting. To keep the machine
in good operating condition,
don't forget to oil it as
the manufacturer recom-
mends and to occasionally
wipe the blades with a good
grade of machine oil to avoid
rust.
The London Skating Club,
at Treasure Island Gardens,
had a skate-a-thon on April
28. Mrs. Edith I. Bell, of
Hensall, raised the most money
per lap for the club. She was
sponsored for $15.61 per lap,
skating fifty laps in 21 minutes.
Mrs. Bell is the mother of
Pauline, who is a professional
skater, and Troyann, who is
a senior amateur coach.
The secret in mowing is to
mow often but not too close-
ly. The grass blades should he
long enough to prevent the
roots from being starved and
short enough to he attractive,
If you do this. neighbours, ex-
cess leaf -growth is prevented,
fertilizer loss will be limited,
and problems such as weeds,
insects and coarse grasses are
reduced. And hest of all, grass
assumes a dwarf habit and the
production of extra shoots is
stimulated. So make grass cut-
ting a "ritual" and your lawn
will love you for it.
Catcher in the grass
One other suggestion. Buy
a grass catcher to fit your
Lawn mower. This will not
only catch the cut ends but it
will also prevent weed seeds,
if there are any weeds grow-
ing, from being scattered
throughout the lawn,
By the way. you can empty

iIn this way you'll do two jobs
'with one effort and your lawn
and garden will both benefit,
If weeds are actively grow-
ing, I like to apply by hand
some Vigoro Weed and Feed
on the broadleaved weeds, or
the new Vigoro Dandelion
Killer if you're plagued with
the blow -over seeds from a
lazy neighbour's garden.
Plant clean up
Iris beds and iris plants in
flower beds and borders
should be cleaned up as soon
as possible. Remove debris
and dead leaves which have
accumulated over the winter
period. At this time a dressing
such as Pink Vigoro, a com-
plete. spring balanced fertiliz-
er, should be given.
Iris plants will attain a
great deal of their growth in
the next six to eight weeks
and therefore will benefit
from plant food applied now.
Give them about 2 pounds
per WO square feet of area
and hoe or till it into the sur-
face of the soil.
Rock gardens should also
be cleaned up during the ear-
ly spring. This is important
because the accumulation of
dead leaves and other debris
may smother small plants.
