THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill. Ontario. Thurs Some seedlings cannot tol- erate the shock of transplant- ing. and must be sown where they are to grow. Or nowadays we can plant them in the peat] andtfiher pots which are plant-w ed along with the seedling and; need not be removed. Indeed,j they cannot be taken off in‘ most cases because the roots have penetrated the pot walls. Gorm|ey Couple Honour Graduates There is no benefit in trans- planting: the act is actually a setback for the seedling. which has its roots cut short and pro- cesses of food and water move- ment in the plant curtailed. It is of no more use to the plant than an appendectomy or an amputation would be to a bumâ€" In being. A common error in garden- ing is to assume that trans- planting is an operation which does the plant good, apart from such considerations as allowing the individual plant more room. etc. This impression is com- mon, even among old. exper- ienced gardeners. Some plants which are best seeded direct include zinnias.l These have a long tap root} which is injured in trans-l planting. While the seedlings: usually survive. the operation does them considerable harm, Equally delicate. but for an-V other reason. are the roots of: the vlne crops such as cucum-t hers. melons and squashes. In{ the past. if these were started indoors at all. they were seedq ed into upside down buts oft sod into which the roots grew. When transplanting time camc.‘ the entire clump of sad was! planted. ‘ Today, the larger peat-fiber pots, usually the four inch size. arejuse‘d for starting vine crops Indoors. There is actually very little to be gained by this metâ€" hod: seeds sown out of doors. later in spring usually catch} up to and pass those started: indoors. ‘ WILLOWDALE : Official cor- nerstone laying and opening of the Downsview branch of the North York Public Library took place May 26.

This high price may come as a shockl to many a home owner whol claims the .grass seed. he sowed was practically all crab grass. {_ The reason why I’m certain crab grass seed cannot be found in commercial mixtures 'is one of simple mechanics. First: blue grasses. fescues and bent grasses. whi’ch‘are‘ the inâ€" gredients of any grass seed mixture, mature their seeds in ‘late. June. audare picked or stripped mechanically not later than July 10th. In the seed pro- ducing areas, crab grass has barely begun to grow and spread by then and never sets seed that early. The interval between the two crops makes contamination virtually im- possible. Furthermore. even if the two did mature seed together. a dif- uference in height preventsthe bicker (which ‘works 30 to 36" above the surface! from picking ‘up seed from' crab grass plants 'that mature at about 6" high. tA third factor is that crab grass * matures only a‘1e‘w' seeds at a 'time. not all at once. one rea- |son it is costly to harvest. ‘1 If crab grass doesn't come in t‘grass seed mixtures. where "does it come from?

Tulip Show Winners Praised By Judges At its May 23 annual tulip show and plant sale held in the Lions Hall. the Richmond Hill Horticultural Society members were complimented for their number of entries and the fine specimens and arrangements shown. What happened to the victim of the black dirt ,vendor was that his good grass seed. far more delicate and demanding than crab grass. may have be- gun to sprout, but because of fungus diseases in the contam- inated soil, or because the own- er failed to keep the seed moist after it began to germinate, the good grass Seed died. The tre- mendously aggressive crab grass survived. thus giving the illusion it came out of the commercial package. Society president Spencer Urquhart introduced guest speaker Mr. Bert Wiebicke of Scarborough. a noted rose expert. Judges Mr. and Mrs. Orley Hayes of Newmarket chose R. D. Little as winner of the specimen class. Mrs. George Barber for her arrangement. Mrs. E. Harvey, new members class and Billy Redeimeier in the junior class. Mr. Wiebecke outlined advantages and disadvantages of planting roses, pests and cures. soil. how to plant roses and how to buy them illustrat- ed by line ~ plants. He also showed slides of formal rose gardens with both tried and new varieties. The speaker was thanked by Mrs. D. Boyd. D.

In spite of the claims that it. is “weed free" and that it came out of a rich truck farm. more likely it was stripped from a worn out field that had been allowed to run to weed for years.
