From now until the end of September is a good time to plant coniferous evergreens, provided at least another month can elapse before the ground freezes hard, The trick in planting junipers in the fall is to obtain freshly dug mate- rial, to plant firmly and to keep the soil moist until the ground freezes. For two weeks after planting an occasional sprinkling overhead with water from the hose is also beneficial. Before planting these junipers as ground covers make sure the soil ie free from persistent weeds such as couch grass, dandelions, and thistles by forking the area over several times to remove their roots. foliage in the fall. Only a small number of the needles will drop and these will be the older needles of the plant. The fallen needles should be raked. off lawns . and -flower- beds. The needles are acidic and their presence will be a deterrent to the growth of grass and many flowers. Some plants, such as rhododendrons, blueberries, and azaleas do pre- fer an acid soil. Needles can be used beneficially as a mulch on these plants. sides of the room, and also permit a light cove for in- diréct lighting the length of 162, The Building Editor, Oshawa Times, Oshawa, Ontario.
