The Huron Expositor, 1962-05-24, Page 8R uylto raPO61TOR, S Arouni. ONT„ N le *1,1962 Goad Healthy Garden There are some wonderfully effective sprays and dusts avail- able today. With these it is no trick' at all to eliminate or con- trol almost any bug, or fungus 'khat attacks any garden plant. But these chemicals, like medi- cine or fertilizer, must be used carefully and according to di- rections. It is possible, of course, to cover vegetables or fruit with so much dope that one has to wash very carefully before eating. Moderation pays in all things, including spray- ing and dusting. The very best protection against any pest or disease is a fast growing, clean and heal- thy garden. To get this we spray or dust the minute a pest appears and thus bring it 'un- der control before the whole garden is overrun and with rel- atively small applications of chemical. But in addition we keep the garden growing well by cultivating frequently, feed- ing with plant food when nec- essary and, just as important, we keep both garden and sur- rounding ground clean of weeds. Clumps of weeds and long un- tended grass constitute an open invitation to bugs and other pests to come along and canip out just waiting for our favor- ite flowers and vegetables to appear. to get something that will kill the weeds but let the grass sur- vive, or other plants survive. • For the average lawn and lawn owner, of course, a gen- eral purpose 2-4D spray still -prove satisfactory. It will get -some of the common weeds like dandelion and plantain. But for the specialist or the lawn where certaid weeds like crab grass, cluackgrass and *others are troublesome there are indi- vidual and potent sprays now available. In all cases these sprays or dusts must be used carefully and precisely accord- ing to directions.. -Timely Hints Weed Killers One of the very special plea- sures of gardening is the thrill that comes •from handing a de- parting visitor a big bunch of flowers to take home. And we can do this again and again and also have plenty of bou- quets for, our own homes if we plant a few extra rows of cut- ting flowers right inn., the vege- table garden where -they will be easily cultivated. Then we can clip blooms anytime we like and without detracting one bit from the decorative flower gardens around' the -lawn. All sorts of beautiful gardens are spoiled because only weedy, rapid growing trees are used and only the earliest maturing flowers, grass and vegetables. These early, quick growing things have a place, especially in the young garden, but they should not be the only things. There has been a steady im- provement in chemical weed killers for lawns Since 2-4-D and other killers first appeared on the market. Like the flies with DD's, some weeds, or more like- ly new and hardier strains of weeds, seem to have developed an immunity to the first sprays so scientists have been work- ing on a stronger and more specialized killers.

And this applies to flowers and vege- tables just as well as trees or shrubbery. By using later sorts as well as" early, we get more variety and often better qual- ity as well.
