6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowman ville, May 13, 1961 Section Two Wins Fine Art Merit Award Village People Jr. W.I. Waver ley's Grade 1 Class Goes On Stage By Harry Van Belle You asked for it!!! Can evergreens be planted now? Yes, this is an excellent time to get your evergreens planted. The nights are still cool and the evergreens that are in the local garden centres are freshly dug from the field, and they have not been dried out by the hot weather. When planting evergreens always keep in mind, that a $20 tree deserves a $20 hole. Often, evergreens are planted in pure clay, especially in the new subdivisions, where often a very thin layer of topsoil is spread over the top, which will hardly support the new lawn, let alone any evergreens. You should plan first where they are to be planted and then remove the soil where the bed has to be, and fill in with good topsoil and spread a liberal layer of manure on the new bed and work it into the soil, so that you don't have to add plant food later on when the plants are growing. It is also wise to water them in with a root stimulant called Plant- aide, which will get them off to a good start. When planning a bed of evergreens try to work in some of the broadleaf varieties such as the Euvonymus, which come in three colors, green, gold and silver. This will give your bed that contrast to set it off with the different shapes and colors. We want to have a dwarf tree in our evergreen bed, on the corner. Which variety would be hardy and stand up in this area? There are a few varieties that can be used, the most common one is the weeping Siberian Peashrub, which does not grow that large, and will give you an accent plant, and even in the winter time it will show up, with its arching branches. Another tree that can be used is the weeping Mulberry. This tree will grow larger than the Peashrub, so it will require a bit more room, the leaves are larger on this tree and they are perfectly hardy. There are a few global types, such as the globe peashrub, the forsythia tree, the hydrangea tree form, and some of the shrub varieties that have been trained into a tree form, although they are harder to find. Can roses be planted now? Yes, this is an excellent time to get started with planting roses, they are already planted in pots and most garden centres have already pruned them so all you have to do is to plant them. Make sure that the part where they are grafted is one inch below the soil level, this .will prevent suckers from growing from below the graft. Roses love manure so add a large amount when planting them. I feel that they do not need any peatmoss, since they love a heavy humus soil and plenty of plant food which the manure will give them. Garden Tips for the Week Plant all roses and evergreens, trees and flowering shrubs. Finish pruning all fruit trees and uncover the roses and prune them back. Finish applying crabgrass control on your lawn if necessary. Fill in bare spots on the lawn, and seed with a good balanced grass seed. Start planting the early potatoes, for a good early crop. Until next week, happy gardening.
