the tribune thursday may 23 1968 page 9 conditions right for spraying weeds a a wall agricultural representative for york county newmarket next week ought to be weed spraying week by somebody conditions right now are just right for chemicals to do their best job the weeds are small growing quickly and very susceptible to the action of the weed killers best of all weed damage to the crop hasnt been really serious up to this stage give these weeds anoth er week or two and they will be giving the crop a good battle for plant food and moisture they will be harder to kill and mec hanical damage to the crop is more serious too if spraying is delayed until the crop is a foot or two high so there is no argument as onesided as the one for spraying grain when its in the two to three leaf stage by the time ragweed looks like ragweed or mustard is in flower the best time for sraying is long since gone the same earlier the better principle goes for spraying corn atrazine has a better chance now than it will a week from now if spraying is delayed until the weeds are up nicely the risk of the last chance for a kill passing by in the middle of a week thats too wet too windy or too busy for do ing the job is too great 2 4d is still the best bargain in crop production business its cost is repaid many times over in better yields mcp has a place in dirty fields of oats and embutox is for fields seed ed down if the owner has any respect for legumes killmor with dicamba can be the answer for ser ious bindweed canada thistle or sow thistle problems and tropotox is for red clover seedings sutan is a new chemical that we hope will fix fox tail and crabgrass prob lems in corn it is a chem ical that has to be worked into the soil within ten minutes of being applied atrazine is still the best general purpose material for corn and if the weeds get up before spraying adding oil is a real help somewhere in the spray fill up inq clean as a whistle as slick as a pin is what folks say don shank fuels 243 main n markham 2941600 if you are new-t6- town or have just moved into a new home welcome service would like to call on you with housewarming gifts and information about your

freeflower ing annual is canadas most popular garden flow er the reasons for this are not too hard to find they will provide any part of the garden with a big and lasting splash of color varieties in a wide color range are available for beds borders foundation plantings rock gardens window boxes hanging baskets or containers ar ound patios and outdoor living areas i dont know of a garden flower thats more easily grown or more persistent in providing continuous bloom from june until late in the autumn few other flowers will with stand drought long rainy spells insect pests and dis eases as well as petunias petunias like the sun but theyll perform quite well in partially shaded locations they prefer or dinary soil conditions ra ther than fairly rich ones with plenty of moisture theyll even give a good show of bloom when grown in poor soil one light feeding with a com plete garden fertilizer just after the plants have been set in the ground is suf ficient about the only thing detrimental you could say about petunias is that the seed is very fine and be cause of this the begin ner to gardening or the average home gardener will find it hard to start his own plants best plan for most people is to buy started plants ready for setting out in the garden around the 24th of may its true petunias will stand the effects of a light frost without harm and could be planted around the middle of may or ear lier nevertheless the plants season a tank full for the fence rows and around the buildings probably pays off as well as any spray that puts on wont start growing vig orously until the soil and air temperatures warm up in late may so nothing is gained rushing the sea son anyone wishing a mass of color in the garden all summer long should choose members of the multiflora group of petun ias multiflora means many blooms and all the vari eties belonging to this class provide quantities of flowers from early june until frost the best petunia ive ever grown is still coral satin the 1961 allamer ica winner the blooms open to a deep cherry or coral red in color which gradually changes to a coral rose they dont fade like many other pe tunias the 12inch evenly mounded plants cover themselves with continu ous bloom from the mid dle of june until late in the autumn youll like the way coral satin hugs and spreads out along the ground sugar blues and purple plum or both new colors in this same multiflora group to which the well known variety sugar plum also belongs if youve ever grown sugar plum you know how compact is its form how weather proof its blooms and how wonderfully it succeeds anywhere anytime sugar blues is a laven der blue version of sugar plum the centres of the flowers are a deep laven der blue with the color ing becoming lighter as it reaches the edges of the petals deep violetblue pencilfine veining lends a twotone effect and great distinction to this petunia plants grow 12 to 15 inches high and need spac ing 12 to 18 inches apart purple plum has a rich warm reddish plum shade which not only adds a great deal of charm any where in the garden but is excellent for flower ar rangements bookkeeping service income tax fir provincial
