PACE APRIL 1976, BROUWER'S SPRING GARDENING g ard en tal k by SaIIy Brouwer LANDSCAPING MMMkMPL A N S CAPING Landscaping is the word we use to sum up ail the things we do to make our outdoor environmient more healthy, beautiful and livable, and at the be- ginning of a new gardening year again we can, with a littie extra thought, enjoy the* most wonderful hobby of growîng a bit more. It is well known that John Brouwer does landscaping - we also want to make it weIl known that we enjoy planning your garden, and then you do the workl How do you start? Where do you begin? PLANSCAPING.. lt is a lot easier ta revise a plan than a planting. Even if you want help with the planning, you have to decide a few basic things for yourself - what kind of family are you? Do you want a plan for your foundation plainting at the front of your home, or a patio area for relaxation, dining, barbecuing, sun- bath ing, or a pool area screened by natural plantings from your neighbours, or a play area for your pre- school children, or a flowe-r-bed because you love floral arrangements, or a vegetable garden because you are great at preparing for your feezer and pick- ling, and so on and sa on. If, in two years' time you plan on a pool, do not plant a shade tree that will have ta be moved etc. etc. If you have a plot plan with your house and gar- den shown, sit down and pencil in different areas for different activities . ... considering your life changes and the growth of your children as vmll. Plans can be worked over a period of years, so that if mbney is a problem. yau can work away at what you can afford, but always working towards your final goal. Yau can now corne down ta the Garden Centre and say this is what we want and where, but 1 have no idea* how to plan the evergreen, or the shrub bed. If we are extremely busy, yau mîght have ta, leave this with us for a day or two - but when you return we will go over the whole plan with you, take yau through the shadehouse ta see the different evergreens or shrubs that have been recommended, and take you along our large evergreen plantings, sa that 'yau can see how they look in a planting. If there are some varleties you do not like, substitutes can be easily found, and very soon you can go home ready for the first step of any planting - the pro- paration of your evergreen and shrub beds. If this has already been done, we can load up your car and away you go with everything you need. We pride ourselves that we can supply ail your garden needs, from topsoil, seed, peatmass. fertilizer, tools, ta the after care products of aur plant - insecticides, fungicides. or weed-killers, etc. everything ta make a garden and ta keep a garden. We do give estimates at your home, for complete landscaping by us and we alsa visit your home ta advise you how ta do everythîng. 0f course ît can nover be said enough, that the correct soil conditions are absolutely necessary - without them you are fighting quite a battle. After care of nursery stock is also very important, and it is not just experts that have nice gardens - you can taa. Happy Gardening!

The niost effective way to stop this danger is very simple. Just paint a band around the trtink of the tree with ORTHO CYGON 2E. This product is a systemie insecticide. When applied to a plant by spraying, or by painting it on, it is absorbed into the systemn of the piant. As a result, the plant has internal protection, a chance to protect itself f romi damage by aphids and leafminers. The tinie to apply ORTIIo CYGON 9-E is in early spring, just when the birch bud tips appear green. Second application will be necessary in the last week in June to control the second biood of leaf- in iers. The label leaflet with ORTIIo CYGON 2E gives complete directions, for use with vegetables, fruits, ornamental shrubs and trees, and for fly control. Follow label directions. Do not use on ornamental plants which are not listed in the leaflet.
