Richer the Greener
If one remembers that grass
is a plant like any flower or
vegetable and treats it that way,
then • half the battle is won.
Like all plants, grass will do a
lot better if it is given an occa-
sional feeding of fertilizer, pre-
ferably one high in nitrogen, as
that is the element that makes
green growth. Lawn grass, too,
likes 'to be thoroughly soaked,
not just' sprinkled, with water
once a week during dry, ' hot
weather, and of course, the real
secret of a beautiful dark.green,
thick and 'fine steenfed turf is
the proper seed, not some bar-
gain, but a mixture blended by
expert seedsmen, that contains
only high quality •grasses and
in, the proper proportions. Only
with Such seed can one hope
to have a lawn that will stay
green all summer long and will
.actually improve rather than
deteriorate as the ,years go by.
Weeds, of course, are a bit of
a problem but not too hig a
one in a lawn well fed and well
watered, because in such a case
grass growth is so vigorous that
many weeds will he 'crowded
out and never get a foothold.
For the .others a spraying with
weed killer Will usually he sure.
ficient.
The lawn, as any landsCape
gardener will agree, is the cen-
tral theme in any .informal gar-
den layout, and is well worth
a little regular lttention.
• Don't Make These
By long odds,.the three com-
monest mistakes of the new
gardener and some who should
know better, are, too soon, too
thick and too deep. There is
no advantage at all in working
the soil or sowing' Most flowers
and vegetable seed while' there
is still danger of hard frost.
The seed will ,simply lie dorm-
ant orerot in cold wet soil, Not
until the sun really warms up,
and the soil crumbles rather
than Compacts when squeezed
is there any growth: Far bet-
ter to err on the late side ra-
ther than the early, In many
parts of Canada, June is a sit-
er and better planting month
than May, and we don't need
to worry if we haven't got .a
spade in the ground in April.
Of course there are a few seeds
like that of sWeet peas, grass,
or the odd extra hardy annual
that you can't plant too early,
but for the vast majority of
plants there is no gain whatever
and much risk in planting too
soon,
Sowing seed too close toge
er is another common and ser-
ious mistake. Even the tiniest
things like alyssum, ageratum,
lettuce and radishes all benefit
from plenty of room. If pos-
sible, seed of these should be
spaced at least a couple of
inches apart, or later the tiny
plants thinned to that distance,
And larger things that grow say
a foot or so high need at least
half their mature height in be.
tween. This means. for medium
sized petunias, asters and zin.
nias at least a foot, and for car-
rots, beans, and beets ,,six to
eight' inches.
As for depth of planting, the
general rule is three times the
diameter of the seed. This
means merely a light patting
for small seeds ,as of lettuce,
carrots and radish among the
vegetables and alyssum and
poppies in the flower. line. A
good plan is to mix, the very
smallest seeds with a little sand
and sow the two together. Then
'sprinkle with a little more sand
mid merely press lightly. With
larger plants, such as peas,
beans and corn, hall to an inch
is about the proper depth to
plant. If we sew too deeply the
seed will either rot, or the new
sprout will smother and die be-
fore it reaches the sutface.
Well -spaced plants will not ,on-
ly be stronger -and healthier, but
they witi be- much easier to
cultivate.
'Not All. At Once
The .experienced gardener
would never think of sowing
all his fiowet and vegetable
seeds at once. Even if it sur-
vived the hazards of weather,
the result would be a blaze of
flowers and a super -abundance
of fresh , vegetables, then a
famine. Everything would come
on at once and end at the same
time. The smart gardener
spreads out the plantings, mak-
ing at least two and sometimes
three or four from 10 days to
two weeks apart. In this ,way
he is ensuring success because
if, the .first planting gets frozen
or washed out or tramped ,on,
he will still have one in re-
serve, More important, he will
have something coming on all
the time, fresh corn and peas,
not just for a few days, but for
many weeks and bouquets of
beautiful flowers too. With
plantings well spread' out the
garden should be blooming and
producing abundantly from
July until snow. .

NOT THE NOOSE
Hanging Valley is not the
name of a place where a lynch-
ing took place; at least, not in
geological terms. A "hanging
valley" is a valley which enters
the main, or trunk, valley by
means of a fall or rapid. Hang-
ing valley are conspicuous
features of mountain land-
scapes in glaciated regiOns.
