Stoo for a moment to think of Make division.. Divisions of your the many people you know not necessarily dyed-in-the-wool gar ners either who might appreci ate a plant you have grown, or a miniature garden dreamed up in choice perennials, taken from the outside of the plant and put in cans covered with foil or colored paper, make very acceptable gifts. Plants can be set out later without your work center.

Perhaps you know a boy or girl to whom a lodge-pole pine, moun tain hemlock, or Sequoia would be a happy reminder of last sum mer's camp in the high country. Or a good neighbor may have a shady corner just right for ferns, milium and bleeding heart, or a miniature woodland garden you've planted especially for him. An enthusiastic desert traveler might like nothing better than small pots of succulents and cactus set in a large pot filled with dolo mite. A gardener with a new greenhouse or coldframe might like a flat of hard-to-find specialty plants; a seed pan filled with choice hardy cyclamen or prim roses; or a glass casserole con verted into a miniature propaga ting case, planted with seeds of small rhododendrons; or some or chid seedlings or divisions of bro meiiads. For the cook on your list, you can't go wrong with a col lection of herbs in an attractive pottery bowl, basket, or pan. Methods Outlined If you are ready to turn your garden work center into a holi day workshop, here are some of the ways you can build up a sup ply of plants; Make cuttings. This is a good time to make cuttings of many plants. In colder sections you will need a frostproof frame, green house or other protected area in which to grow them. In warmer climates the weather has now cool ed to the point where there is less danger that cuttings and seedlings will wilt and drv out. A nlastle cover to shield them from sun or rain will be sufficient protection, and can accompany the flat to Us new owner on Christmas Day.

Roscburg this time. In mild areas where late chrysanthemums are just coming into bloom, try lifting and potting some of your favorites. Dig around the plant with a small spade or shovel, as carefully as you would if you were digging V shrub, and lift with a generous ball of soil around the roots. The compact cushion types are easy to handle as pot plants. If you have a thick stand of ground cover that needs dividing, share with someone who needs plants to control erosion on a bank or to fill in a bare parking strip. Ajuga, arenana, cerastium, fes- tuca, hypencum ivy. sedum thyme, vica and wild strawberry can be divided now. Plant divis ions in flats or individually in pots or cans. A flat of two or three ground covers that combine ef fectively makes an especially nice gift. Pot bulbs. Always well received is a gift of firm, fat bulbs potted in an attractive container and mulched with white dolomite, gravel, or smooth pebbles. -Nur series have full fresh slock of daf fodils, tulips, hyacinths, freesias, scdlas, anemones, and ranunculus. To pot bulbs in soil: Mix equal parts of loam, leafmold, and sand; you may also add a small amount of steamed bonemeal (1 table spoon to a 5-inch pot). Set bulbs on cushion of soil mix with their tips level with the surface of the soil. Leave 1 to 2 inches between the soil surface and the rim of the pot for watering. After potting. soak containers until the soil is wet all the way through (best way is to place containers in a basin of water and leave until sou surface is wet). Place pots in a cool dark place where pulbs can form roots. You can bury them in coldframes or boxes filled with sawdust or peat moss, or sink them in a trench in the ground and cover them with 3 or inches of soil sawdust, peat moss, leaves or sand. By Christmas, bulbs should have formed good root systems and fat green leaf tips full of promise of flowers to come. You can force frowth and encourage somewhat earlier bloom if you place the pots of rooted hulbs in a greenhouse or sunny window, lanal, or covered porch.
