In other areas you'It stitt be wait- ing for the lawn to assume its best appearance. But to keep it that way you have to remember two rutes. One is to keep your Iawn welt watered during dry weathex-. The other is that the lawn should not be cut 'as short as when growth is more vigorous.' Your lawn mowcr blades must be sharp. If not, the endis of your grass wilI have a brown cast because the blades arc tearing rather than cutting. To keep the machine in gooti opcrating condition, dont forget to oiî it as the manufacturer recom- mends and to occasionally wipe the blades with a gooti grade of machine oil to.avoid rust. The secret in mowing is to mow often but not too close- îy. The grass blades should be long cnough to prevent the roots froni being starved anti short cnough to be attractive. If you do this, neighbours, ex- cess Ieaf-growth is preventcd, fertilizer loss will be limited, and problcmrs such as wcctis, insects and coarse grasses are reduceti. Andi best of aIl, grass assumes a tiwarf habit and the production of extra shoots is stimulated. So make grass cut- ing a "ritual" and your lawn will love you for it. Catcher in the grass One other suggestion. Buy a grass catcher to f it your lawn mower. This will not only catch the cut entis but it will also prevent weed sceds, if there are any wccds grow- irîg. from being scattercd throughout the lawn. By the way, you cap empty the grass catcher bag on the compost pile to tise in the gar- den when it's broken tiown. In this way you'll do two jobs with one effort anti your lawn and garden wilt both benefit. If weeds are activcly grow- ing, I like to apply by hanti some Vigoro Weed and Feed on the broatileaveti wectis, or the ncw Vigoro Dandelion Killer if you're plagucti with the blow-ovcr seetis from a lazy neighbour's garden. Plant clean up Iris beds anti iris plants in flower betis anti borders should beccaneti up as soon as possible. Remove debris anti dead Icaves which have accumulatcd over the winter perioti. At this time a diressing such as Pink Vigoro, a com- pîcte, spring balanceti fertiliz- er, shoulti bc given. Iris plants will attain a great deal of their growth in the next six to eight weeks anti therefore will benefît from plant foodi applieti now. Give them about 2 pountis per Uit) square feet of area and hoc or tili it into the sur- face of the soi]. Rock ga rdens and baskets Rock gardens shoulti also be cleaned up during thc car- ]y spring. This is important because the accumulation of tiead leaves anti other debris may smothcr small plants. Plants that have been heaveti by frost shoulti be carefully pusheti back into the soil. The whole area will benefit from a top-dressing of loam, leaf mold, andi sand. Attention shoulti be given to the specific requiremnents of different spe- cies. Primulas, for instance, will benefit from an applica- tion of well-rotted manure. Peat may be added to the top- dressing for aciti loving plants, and agricultural limestone will be beneficial for plants preferring an aikaline soul. DO NOT add more than½ inch of top dressing on the area. This is considered suffi- cient and will not smother the young. growing plants.

A gift to last The florist's hydrangeas are very popular gift plants for Mother's Day. A few growing tips will help you keep this plant for a good long tirne. Place the plant in a well-light- cd location but shade the bloonms from the hot suni. Hydrangeas thrivc in a tem- peature of 60"F,. but thcy will tolerate higher tempera- TALKING GA RDENING with LIOC HARTNOLf turcs. If the room is very warm. the plant may require watcring twice a day. but they should flot be kept saturateti. To carry the plant over for next year, cut it back halfway after bloonming. Keep it in the light and continue to water it. Aftcr the danger of frost is over, pîtinge the pot to it's rimi outdloors in acid soil or peat in partial shade. Do not allow the plant to dry out. Diîring the summner months fecti it with a comipîcte fertiliier every two wecks anti wîth iron sulphate ( 1 ounce to 2 gallons of watcr) on alter- nate wceks. In early July the new growth may have to be pincheti off if the plants are taîl andi "leggy". The plants shoulti be moveti to full light in early August to promote buti setting. Stop fccding by Septemiber 1. anti move themi to a cool. dark storage area before the frost. Although they require little water in storage at 45' F, thcy shoulti be kcpt moist. The foliage will drop off while in storage andi shotild btc moveti to pre- vent mildewv.
