assure yourself of a generous
supply of fruit.
"Regularly pruned currant and
gooseberry bushes produce
larger crops," says Ontario
ministry of agriculture and food
horticulturist, D. B. McNeill.
"The pruning allows new shoots
to develop fully and produce
more fruit, and insecticides -to
penetrate more , easily -and
best fruit on year-old wood, so be
sure that half of the 10 to 12 shoots
left on each mature bush are one
year old. These shoots are un -
branched. The remaining shoots
should be two years old.- These
have single brandbes. Cut out all
wood older than two years.

in-patkns love
the. shade
That shady spot 'doesn't
have to be the least attractive
place • in your garden. It Iran
be a cool retreat with 1t
follage,and brilliant jewels of
color flashing an invitation to
relax.
If you have become impa-
tient with your efforts to get
anything to grow in those
shady spots, now is the time
to try the new Scarlet Ripple
Impatiens developed by Pan-
American Seed Co. This ear-
ly•flowering, bright scarlet
and -white, bicolored impa-
tiens has an intermediate
mounding habit.
Flowers are large with dis-
tinct star pattern. Foliage
and flowers are so dense that
weeds literally don't have a
chance.
Try Scarlet Ripple, -too,- in
window boxes, tubs or plant-
ers. Impatiens are tolerant of
less -than -ideal :oil and mois-
ture conditions, and bloom
profusely from planting out
till hard frost.'
Prefer solid colors or a
wider color range? Then try
the new Elfin Impatiens.
Nine colors and a mixture are
a't ai table.
Concrete patch
needs 'curing'
Patched concrete requires
"curing." This simply means
keeping the patch from
drying out too quickly.
Wetting down the patch a
couple of times a day for sev-
eral days will do the trick. Or
place a piece of wet burlap
over the patched part ' and
remoisten it occasionally:- '
Curing is especially essen-
tial when the patched area
will be in direct sunlight at •
any time during the day.
