IT’S TIME FOR... 
foot clump to be surmounted in early sum- 
mer {of the second year) by tall spikes of 
bright yellow flowers. This latter is for sun 
and requires lots of moisture. ($1.25). 
To mention only one more flowering 
shrub, still blooming after many months, 
we commend again the hybrid LEPTO- 
SPERMUMS, red, white, and pink, dwart 
and tall, $1.25, one gallon. 
Now we turn to GARDEN CHORES— 
SPRAYING, FEEDING, CUTTING BACK 
AND PULLING OUT, AND MULCHING. 
Tie back bulb foliage, and pull out (bulb 
and all) the clumps which are old and 
poorly adapted to their locations. Prune 
back hard all flowering peaches now long 
past. Thin out and shape all trees and 
large shrubs damaged by February and 
March gales, especially Chinese Elms. More 
Elms get top heavy and blow over from 
lack of pruning and thinning than from any 
other reason. Also Elms do not belong in 
extremely windy areas—try one of the 
Ficus instead. Spray the entire garden 
again with nicotine or rotenone plus liquid 
Chlorthane 25 per cent.

It is time to remind you again of our 
old FORMULA FOR GREENING FOLI- 
AGE—two tablespoons of Sulphate of Am- 
monia and three tablespoons of Irontone 
to one gallon of water, and one gallon of 
mixture to a plant of five-gallon size. An- 
other excellent combination, in some ways 
better because it contains phosphoric acid, 
is Ammonium Phosphate and Irontone; this 
can be applied dissolved as per above or 
dry and watered in. Actually it should be 
worked beneath the surface. Be sure to 
FERTILIZE ALL CITRUS AND AVOCADO 
WHEN IN BLOOM — Sulphate of Am- 
monia well watered in at the drip line. 
Finally, if you are tired of too many 
broadleaf evergreen trees but feel you 
need more high shade in summer, let us 
suggest some distinctive DECIDUOUS SUB- 
JECTS FOR GOOD SUMMER SHADE 
AND EQUALLY WELCOME WINTER 
SUN—Tilia americana, Pistachia chinensis, 
Liriodendron tulipifera, Koelreuteria bipin- 
nata, Eleagnus angustifolius (the Russian 
Olive), all $4 and $4.50 in five-gallon cans.
