Ellen Graham is well deck- fund last week. bank a most advantageous Legion Pipe Band plays in Orono With the excellent weather over the past few days, you can give the gardens that finishing touich to get it ready for the winter. Lawns can stili be fertiized to get themn started early in the spring, since the nitrogen will stay in the blades of the grass and keep themi nice and green over the winter and get the lawn started the first in the block, Roses should now be finished off by remnoving the dead heads and banking themn up for the winter. We have founid that well composted manure is an excellent material to use. It will protect the stems and also will give the bush a welcome feeding to, get tbem started in the spr- ing. Climbers have to be handled a littie differently. If they are situated on the south or the west side of the house they are protected from the northwest wind and can then be left uncovered with just the canes that are growing the wrong way can be cut back. In cases where they are in an unprotected spot they should be wrapped with paper or burlap. (Neyer plastic - this will heat up with a strong sun). Also they can be taken down and completely covered by soit or manure. Tree roses must be comipletely dug up and ail the leaves have to be remnoved and theni placed in a trench in the garden and comn-pletely covered with soul. To mnake it easy to frnd in the spring place a couple of stakes where they are 'buried se you can find themn easy in the spring. Evergreens should realîy not need protection because if they need protection then you would be better off to, plant shrubs which lose their leaves in the fali but will give you lots of colour in the gr owing season. Somne evergreens wilI have some wind burn from the strong cold winds and will benefit by wrapping themn with burlap to cut down on the wind. This applies especially to the Dwarf Albert Spruce with its fine needles. Other upright evergreens that are usually growing fast and have somre loose ends can be wrapped with a plastic netting which is ~available at garden stores. This netting cornes in 20 foot lengths and can be slipped over the evergreen and then cut off at the top at the desired length. A good feature of this netting is that it keeps the branches from breaking with the heavy snow and ice and wiilI keep themn neat throughout the winter since you can stili see them. Some of the broadleaf evergreens whîch are semi- hardy in our area such as the Rhododendren and the Azalea must be protected. The easiest way is to wrap th em completely with burlap. Fruit trees, such as apple trees, should have a tree guard placed around the trunk to protect themn from rabbits. This is a heavy plastic tube that can easily be slipped around the trunk and can be left on the tree in- definitely since the plastic will expand. Sorne problemis are encountered by deer on fruit deers pianted in the country. They will nible at the bran- ches and tear offr large chunks of bark damiag-ing the tree. The only way to protect themn is to paint or spray an Ar- borgard on the branches as late in the faIt as possible. Even around Christmas time since the damage is usually done in the months of January and February when not much else is availabte to, them., Until Next Week, Happy Gardening!
