food per inch of diameter. Fill holes with 
a mixture of half plant food and half soil

FOR ACID-LOVING PLANTS: Rhodo- 
dendrons, Azaleas, Camellias and simi- 
lar acid-loving plants must have regular 
fertilizing if they are to remain healthy 
and produce the best, most brilliant 
bloom. Most fertilizers, however, do not 
contain the right elements for these plants 
or may have an abundance of lime that 
is highly injurious to them. We have 
plant food designed especially for acid- 
soil plants. Ask us about it! 
How ... When... Where 
in INSECT CONTROL 
A leading entomologist recently said, ‘’Pro- 
gress in the last three years in development 
of insecticides has been greater than in the 
previous fifty.”’ 
The great sensation of the insecticide field 
has, of course, been DDT, It can now be 
said that DDT has fully lived up to its early 
promise of help for the home gardener, It 
has rightly been credited with miraculous 
results in many serious situations. 
However, it must be remembered that DDT 
is not a cure-all. No single insecticide can 
ever take care of every situation. 
Chlordane, the new wonder 
Now comes another widely heralded new 
chemical miracle for the gardener—chlor- 
dane (also known as 1068). And again the 
Tesults are living up to the early promises. 
Chlordane must now be recognized as a 
great new weapon in the battle with the 
insects. 
But Chlordane, like DDT, is not a cure-all. 
Remember, therefore, to consider it as just 
one more tool for the gardener—a highly 
valuable tool, but not a universal remedy. 
What will chlordane do? 
It is highly effective against grasshoppers 
and the American cockroach, Colorado po- 
tato beetle, squash bug, and some aphids. 
It is very effective on ant nests. It is the 
fastest working chemical yet found against 
Japanese beetle grubs in soil, killing 24% 
times faster than DDT. 
Further experience probably will increase 
the list of victories for Chlordane. 
Meanwhile, we suggest that you begin to 
use this newcomer, while keeping on with 
DDT for the purposes it serves best. 
Identify your insects! 
Biting or Chewing insects such as beetles, 
caterpillars, grasshoppers, and the like, can 
best be controlled by the application of 
poisons to the plants upon which they 
feed. 
Sucking Insects such as aphids, weevils, 
leaf hoppers, etc., insert their beaks into 
the leaves, stems or fruits and suck the 
plant juices. Hence ‘’stomach’’ poisons ap- 
plied to the surface of the plant will not 
kill them, They must be killed by use of 
contact poisons. 
Scale Insects that develop protective cover- 
ings are most easily killed by strong cor- 
Tosive solutions, such as a concentrated 
lime-sulphur mixture, applied during late 
fal lor winter when foliage is off the plants 
—and by other materials.
