Dogs were valuable during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. A team of five once sold for $2,500 in Dawson City, and it was said 'a poor dog was worth at least $25. Birch leaf minor control Because excessive use of Cygon may damage birch trees, read the directions on the label carefully and apply Paint a systemic in- secticide, such as Cygon, in a band around each trunk, or spray it on the emerging foliage. The plant tissues will absorb it. “However. systemic in- secticides are effective when applied just as the leaves are showing green in the early spring.“ “It’s not practical to control the adults; and the larvae. which tunnel inside the leaves during spring and summer are protected from mest insecticide sprays. Pests introduced to a region are sometimes dif- ficult to control because they lack natural enemies. “Then you can choose plants that will adapt well to your soil's condition. “Control of this insect is frustrating," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, D.B.

If nursery stock cannot be planted as soon as it is delivered, dig a trench and bury the roots, or cover them with damp peat moss and burlap. Store the plants in a cool spot, such as an unheated basement or garage, until planting time. Open each parcel of plants immediately and examine the roots. If they are dry, plunge them into water for 24 hours. Mound the soil slightly around the main stem of the plant, and make a 'shallow ditch around the mound to catch rainwater.

Soak the loam with water and add more. , Cauliflower is a biennial, normally producing seed the second year. However, if the plant is seriously checked in growth, it tries to reproduce itself. This is called “buttoningâ€, which is the premature formation of a cauliflower to make a soft mud. This sticks to the roots during planting. If you have grown cauliflower, especially in the spring. you are probably familiar with the problem of some heads developing very early, but only forming a small, button-like curd on a small, poorly developed plant. Don’t button your cauliflower The objective was a million dollars as the York Central Hospital campaign for funds got under way last week with dinners for the 1,000 dedicated workers. These volunteers are going out into the community to raise the money that will ensure the local hospital has all needed equipment. Chatting Ian D.W. Smith. P.Ag. Extension Horticulturist Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Vine-land Station (Pl Campaign dinners for 7,000 at hospital Conditions which may cause buttoning include over~hardening of young plants, unbalanced or poor soil fertility after planting (especially lack of nitrogen), low soil moisture, and extreme and continued cold weather (40 to 50 degrees F for about 2 weeks) especially when combined with wet soil. Other factors such as maggot injury, club root, and molybdenum deficiency may also cause buttoning. Losses are usually most severe in the early planted crop in cold, wet seasons when vegetative growth is checked. It’s really premature seedstalk development, or bolting. Cauliflower is a tricky crop to grow, and sometimes even a slight check in the early stages of seedling or plant growth may result in poor development later on, leading to buttoning. The problem usually occurs shortly after planting in the field, when normal plants of the same age are growing vegetatively. Although some varieties, especially early ones, are more susceptible to bolting than others, buttoning is most often due to one or more environmental factors. curd when the leaves are not large enough to nourish it to a marketable size. 1970 HORNET SST 1972 MERCURY COMET 1973 BUICK CENTURY SEDAN 1974 MATADOR 1â€"973 HORNET 1974 JAVELIN S.S.T. 1974 GREMLIN X 1972 OLDS ROYALE 1973 FORD PICKUP 1974 HORNET 1974 MATADOR X V8 Engine, Sedan, yellow with black vinyl roof.
