Includ- by VanBeIIe Garden Tips For the Week Weil, if this weatber does not beat them al, witb records set every day for the coldest weathe~r for years. This really did not suirprise. e e e me, since nature usually wil give us an indication wbat is in store for us. Two weeks ago we were driving through Ohio, and the Weeping Willows-and the Forsytia's were not even starting to bud, which usually do during the third week of Marcb. Talking to an old timer tbe otber day, he said that whatever weather we get on Good Friday and Easter will last for tbe rest of tbe month, so be prepared for some more cold weather. Basterlilies will be in most homes for the Easter season. You can make good use of them after they are finîsbed flowering. Let them dry out, that is the top and then plant the bulb about 6 inches below tbe soul in the flower bed and they will bloom year after year. The secret is to plant tbem at least 6 inches, so that the new buibets wiIl have room to grow on the side and the top. 0f course lawns sbould be cleaned up and fertilized even if the ground is frozen you can apply tbe fertilizer wbich will bc available when the ground thaws out. Lawns should be raked with a stiff bard rake and get out that brown thatch that is laying between the grass blades. This will give the soul to ai- sorb the nitrogen out of the air and will give a much bet- ter lawn. Rolling a lawn should only be donc if the lawn bas heaved from the frost action, and just gently press tbe grass roots back to tbe soul. Neyer roll a lawn witb the intention of Ieveling out the bumps and bollows, because tbis will only com- pact the soil and mangle the roots and will resuit in a damaged lawn, which could take several years to bring back. A lot bas been written about applying grass seed at tbis time of year, so that the lawn wiil thicken out and become more dense. Tbis is a fallicy, grass seed applied at this time of year will just Iay there until tbe weather warms up, and by the time balf or more bas blown away, or the birds will bave had tbeir feed out of it. Grass seed sbould. be applied directly to tbe soil so that tbe seed will bc in con- tact with the soil, and then sbould be lightly covered s0 that after it gerniînates it will flot dry out. Rose busbes sbould not be uncovered yet, since it is too cold. The best timne is when they are just starting to sprout new shoots. Tben un- cover them very carefully and then. prune them back to 6 to 8 inches from the soil level. This wilI give you enougb buds to produce a nice healthy bush with plenty of shoots. Climbing roses sbould be pruned back only at tbe top, so that tbey are manageable and to keep themn in sbape. Most dlimbers wil bloom only on 2 year old wood. So when you are prun- ing tbemn keep that in mind. There appears to be a lot of St. Francis of Assisi, Newcastle We wisb to welcome into the Christian Community Elizabetb Amanda, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Henry of Orono. Making the 9:00 a.m. Easter Mass even more special was the beautiful sing- ing of the children's choir, lead by Mrs. Marie Speziale, with the organ being played by Donna Vanhaverbeke. C. W.L.

This could be caused by Maple Dieback, wbich is a disease that attack weak and undernourîshed trees. Tbey should be fed with a balanced plantfood such as tbe CIL Tree and Hedge Food. Tbis can be applied around the drip line of tbe tree wbere the feeder roots either by poking boles in the soul or simply sprinkled over the top of the soul or lawn. Until Next Week, Happy Gardening.
