Shade Trees Need Feeding
Shade trees are living chemical factories. The leaves of an average sized oak tree will manufacture more than 200 pounds of sugar in a single season. Part of it feeds the tree. The rest is stored for reserve.
But plant food must be available for the tree to feed itself. Under lawn conditions where leaves are raked up in the fall, trees often go hungry.
Watch for pale green leaves, short twig growth. If these symptoms are present, your trees need feeding.
Starved trees ard ready prey for insects and disease. Leaves devoured by insects further weaken the tree for food. One or two early foliage sprays protect the leaves. And plant food gives the tree a chance to feed itself. So fertilize and spray to pro-

Even an apartment dweller can garden in a window-box. For a south exposure—petunias, geraniums, coleus. (Did you ‘know the trailing balcony petunia was developed in Europe for window box use?) Other sun-lovers are nasturtiums, dwarf zinnias, small marigolds and Heavenly Blue morning glories. For east or west, try pansies, wishbone flower (torenia), lantana, impatience plant, fuchsia, clarkia and begonias. 1 For north windows, fancyleaved caladiums produce as much color as flowers, ous rooted begonias are the most spectacular shade-loving flowers. Many foliage plants can deck the shady box successfully.

Ground has been unusually dry for early May, advises the Indianapolis Landscape Associa tion. And adequate moisture may mean the difference between life and death for newly planted nursery stock, especial. ly trees, throughout the first season. Soak soil thoroughly in dry periods if you have newly planted stock. For garden services deal with a member of the Indianapolis Landscape Association and deal with confidence. Lawn building and maintenance, rock work, spraying, tree surgery, nursery stock and landscape design. The Indianapolis Landscape Association. * * If your trees and shrubs ook sickly, examine them for scale iInsects, advises Midwestern Tree Experts. Pin oaks and silver maples are speclally affected. Feeding and a summer spray are important to bring them back to health.
