VAN BELLE ON GARDENING Can now start to prepare geraniums for summer This is the right time to think in terms of seeding, what to seed and when ,to get started. In most Garden Centres and floral shops the different types of seeds have arrived and*you can pick" and choose. The first concern should always be what do I want to grow after the seeds are germinated. It appear that most gardeners at this time of the year have a tendency to get carried away with thoughts about Spring and the plants they can grow outside, with visions of working working in the garden and thoroughly thoroughly enjoying the outdoors. I, for one, am one of those that often become too eager to get Spring started much earlier than our Good Lord had it planned and oftèn become discouraged by having having everything ready, but the time is too early to plant outside and often I feel cheated and discouraged. In this case there is no one else to blame than myself, our seasons are planned in advance advance by someone who knows much better than us when spring should arrive. All of the above, still gives me itchy fingers to get started, and so I have come up with some seeds that can be sown now and also some of The Corporation of the Town of Newcastle NOTICE of Highway Closing TAKE NOTICE that the Council of The • Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, at a Council meeting to be held at Court Room No. 2, Police Building, Bowmanville, Ontario, on* Monday, the 12th day of March, 1979, at the hour of 9:30 o'clbck in the forenoon, propose to pass a by-law to stop up and close Part 15 Plan10R-919, in the Town of Newcastle more particularly described as follows: ALL AND SINGULAR that certain parcel or tract of land and premises situate, lying and being in the Town of Newcastle, Regional Municipality of Durham, Province of Ontario, and being composed of all that portion of the original allowance for road lying between Lots Twenty-six (26) and,Twenty-seven (27) t in the Fifth Concession of the Geographic Township of Clarke, formerly in the County of Durham, more particularly designated as.

First of, that must be considered for propegating is the geranium plant, remember the plants you just had to save in the fall, the one that bloomed like crazy last year, and you wanted everybody to take a cutting. Well, go downstairs and see what's left of the plants you brought inside in the fall and it may surprise you that there is still some life left in the old plant, bring it upstairs and start watering about once every three c^ays and in about 6 to 10 days you will see shoots starting to appear at the base of the branches which were formed last year. These are the new cuttings you can take from the so called, "Mother plant". When you start now with taking cuttings from the mother plant you will probably probably be able to take another set of cuttings from the * cutting you took from the mother plant. Now, back to seeds, first on the agenda has to be, yes, again the geranium, since it will take the longest to germinate and should be started early in the year in order to get them into flower so that they can be used for bedding purposes in the spring season. Geranium seed is now available and should be sown since the flower will appear much later on the seedling then a plant which has been propagated from a cutting. , Other seeds that should be started now are the impatiens, impatiens, which by the way will do very well as a house plant and will give you much joy in growing since the seeds will germinatè easily and the plants when they are started are easy to maintain. Some of the slow growing annuals can be started in about two weeks from now since when you start them too early they will stretch and will produce poor, long stringy plants, which will do nothing in the. garden. Some of the seeds to buy now and sow in 2 weeks are the Salvia, Snapdragon, Petunia, Coleus, Celosia, Dahlia and Verbena. These plants can be sown and kept back, by pinching after the first full set of leaves appear, which will keep them bushy and will make excellent excellent transplanting material from the spring season.
