You Might as Well Relax; Weeds Are Here to Stay

DR. CHARLES HEISER, sunflower researcher and I. U. botany professor, writes about weeds in the current Horticulture maga(zine. Weeds are here to stay, says he, in spite of miracle weed

killers.

For sprays simply finish off the less resistant ones, thereby i helping Nature to build up a tough resistant strain that can take it.

Bulb Care

Best Methods Vary

For Different Types Q.—How should we take care of summer - flowering bulbs? Sheuld we dig them before or after frost (if we have any choice)? Would specially like information on dahlias, gladiolus, tubefous rooted begonias, cannas. A.—Here are a few sugges-. tions: : DAHLIAS. Dig preferably

QI have a water lily in a flat crock, have a little soil in the bottom but {it has never

bloomed. Could you give me any suggestions on it? Mrs. C. H.

A—I1 suspect you are starving your lily. Water lilies need very rich soil and at least a cubic foot for each root. Soil should be changed or enriched every

after first killing frost. Cut tope off a few inches above soil. Lift carefully, for they are brittle and break easily. If you have no cool (40 degrees) moist place to store the bare roots you are likely to keep them better if you leave quite a little earth around the roots. It ‘should be dry before they are stored. Or you can clean the tubers, then pack in dry sand, peat moss, or dry clean soil. Aim at keeping tubers unfrozen, moist enough not to shrivel, yet dry enough so they won't rot.

- . » GLADIOLUS. Best dug when foliage begins to yellow. Cut foliage within a few inches of corm. Dry in sun and air for several days. Then clean and store in a dry cool place. Dust bulbs with 3 to § per cent DDT before storing and you will have less trouble with thrips. |

She wonders if she got a mis-| labeled plant or if this is simply; a variety fault. (Send your answers, if any, to the garden collumn as other readers might be interested.)
