THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1951 Drying the Laundry Heads Association Pineapple Crochet! Notes on Suitable Shrubs Tips on Cultivation For Hedges and Fences Of "Mums" In Gardens A. Ottawa--Wire and wooden fences are being replaced in many places by fences that live--barriers, rang=- ing in size from the tiny suburban hedge to the extensive farm fence, grown of suitable shrubs and bushes. The horticultural spot- light has recently been turned on the multiflora rose, a Japanese parent of the familiar climbing rose, which grows profusely and the cry was taken up by garden and agricultural publications. Only in warmer parts of Canada will this bush thrive; it cannot stand the Canadian winter and kills back to the snow line. Canadians living in southern Nova Scotia, along the St. Lawr- ence River, Lakes Ontario and Erie or in southern British Columbia might try the multiflora rose if they can find someone to trim the vigorous thorns.' Others would be wise, according to R. W. Oliver: of the horticulture division of the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa, to use native hawthorns guards property with thick, strong thorns. This publicity for the multiflora rose originated in the United States where the federal Department of Agriculture started using it as a field shelterbelt and BEACH ELECTRIC RANGES MANY MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM * BUDGET TERMS ARRANGED * TRADE-INS McLAUGHLIN'S APPLIANCES 104 KING ST.

KING ST. WEST PHONE 674 Ottawa -- Chrysanthemums, fast growing in popularity, have been contributing bursts of gorgeous colour to Canadian gardens in the past few years. With this in mind, a few suggestions to gardeners with 'mums are provided by R. W. Oliver, of the Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ott- awa. Gardeners starting without plants must procure small rooted plants from a commercial nursery late in May. Seed sowing, says Mr. Oliver, is not satisfactory. Here are the varieties that have proved most satisfactory in Ottawa: White -- Avalanche, Howard, Sept. = Cloud, Cushion. Yellow -- Algonquin, Eugene A. Wunder, Sept. Gold, Yellow Cushion. Bronze -- ,Bronze Cushion, Sept. Bronze, Spitfire, Karen Frederick- son. Maroon -- Duchess o borough, Marton nn Go Cushion, Redwood. Pink -- Clara Cushion, Rose Glow. Lavender-Purple -- Chippewa, Lavender Lady, Matawin, Purple Star. Where there are still some old 'mum clumps in the ground and only a few plants are required, dig up a few of the clumps in the spring when new growth is an inch or so tall. Cut these new rooted shoots away from the old woody centres and set the young plants in flowering position. Dorothy White Edin- "Red Curtis, Pink or honey locust on the farms of the east or the Manchurian strain of the Chinese elm, or the alpine currant on city properties. The experimental station at Morden, | Manitoba, suggests for the prairies, | Turkestan rose, Altai rose, Fire- | berry hawthorn or spiny Caragana. Lo When the new shoots are three to four inches in height, cuttings of the terminal growth are taken one and one-half to' two inches long, leaving some of the basal growth 'from which a second crop of cutt- ings will develop in a few weeks. The cuttings should be planted in sharp sand and stood in north light or screened with a double thickness of cheesecloth against bright sun- shine. Moisture is important. The most satisfactory arrangement is to fill large six to eight inch flower pots with sand and stand them in a shallow pan of water so that a constant water level is maintained four to five inches below the sur- face of the sand. If cheesecloth shade is used this should be lightly syringed 'three or four times a day to create humidity. Cuttings should be rooted in two to three weeks and should be placed in good garden soil in two and one-half inch pots. They should be planted outside about May 24th. To have bushy plants the growing tip should be pinched off when the young plant is three or four inches tall. Another pinch will ps>bably be given about two weeks after they have been planted outside but no pinching should be done after July first, Cushien varieties do not need to be pinched. The plants need to be kept grow= ing by lineral supply of water and clean cultivation. Staking will be needed for taller varieties exposed to wind. To control the tarnished plant bug a DDT flower spray or rote- none powder should be used be- fore the buds show colour. Con- stant watch will need to be kept for green aphis which are best con- trolled by spraying with "Black three or tour feet In height in a few weeks.

But, says the National Warm Air Heating and Air Condi- tioning Association, this problem need not necessarily perturb the housewife whose home is heated with a warm air heating system. By installing an extra large re- gister in the side of the warm air duct running through the laundry room, the system can be used to dry the family wash. Or, if space | limitations are such that compact- | ness is a "must", your local sheet | metal man can build you a laun- | dry drying cabinet through which | warm alr from the furnace can be circulated. This is just another method by which the warm air heating sys- | tem can be utilized to provide con- | venience as well as comfort in the | home, | | | | LOANS ® Real Estate ® Private Mortgages ® Company Loans ® Business and Property Appraisals Phone 1158 LEON B.
