EXPERT ADVICE... 
The gardeners of Washington are in- 
deed fortunate to have someone like Mr. 
Youngman advise them every Sunday in 
the Star’s Farm and & Garden Page on 
all matters pertaining to gardening and 
plants in general. 
Those of you who have not previously 
had the pleasure of reading the Star’s 
Garden Editor’s column have really 
missed something. We highly endorse 
his good gardening sense. He always ap- 
proaches all gardening problems from the 
easy-to-understand amateur point of view 
and you should have no trouble following 
his leads.

GOOD-LOOKING PLANTS... 
Cut off old flower heads—conserves 
strength; prevents self-seeding (choking 
out of parent, usually a hybrid); prolongs 
blooming period, and keeps border looking 
neat. 
NEVER TOO MUCH MANURE... 
It is almost impossible to put too much 
well-rotted manure in the average flower 
border. 
ORGANIC PLANT FOODS... 
Organic fertilizers are best—they con- 
dition the soil and feed the plants at the 
same time. 
NO FERTILIZER IN PLANTING 
HOLE... 
If fertilizer is not worked in beds at 
least a month before planting, do not put 
it in the hole with the plant; add it to 
surface of bed about one week after plant- 
ing, and work in while cultivating. 
for delivery in Maryland & D. C., add 2% 
sales tax. 2% sales tax has to be collected 
on all purchases off the premises. Re- 
quired by law.
