Questions and Answers
LJD.A. asks for a small book
on gardening, "a book that isn
too complicated and that will ap
ply to the valley conditions,
Ans.: IX they are still attains
ble, the "Hobby Gardeners'
Guide," published by the Men'i
Garden club of Salem, should be
found very useful to LDA. Its
Sakm Oregon; Phone 5451 laymen's language, and certainly
applies to this locality. Person
ally, I have found it extremely
useful as it covers almost every
phase of gardening in this section.
LDA. might contact some of the
club members at the Sunday rose
show at the YMCA to find out if
the guide is still available.
I.G. writes that she was "dig
ging around in the garden this
week and was surprised to find
fuchsia coming up from last
year's planting. Is this unusual.
or do I have a rare fuchsia? I
thought these plants were really
house plants and would die out
of doors. I know we had to be
very careful of them in my for
mer Minnesota home.
Ans.: Remember this isnt Min
nesota. - And this remark is not
meant as a disparagement against
Minnesota. It just means that
there are things that will winter
out of doors here that will not in
the mid-western state. Fuchsias
not all kinds or all winters
will frequently come up the fol
lowing spring. Mrs. P. M. Brown.
in her Silverton garden, has a
fuchsia which must be around 20
years old. It has never been
brought indoors.
LJT.N. " asks how to control
botrytis on lilies (this is the name
of the disease you describe.)
Ans.: Bordeaux mixture (4-4-50
plus one pint of penetrol) will do
the work. Spraying should be
done about every two weeks from
spring growth until late autumn,
particularly if they had the dis
ease a year ago. If possible, move
them ,ln autumn to a new loca
tion. f
F.D.D. wants to know whether
she should transplant her daffo
dils now or wait until September
to transplant them.
Ans.: Never dig daffodils in
autumn. If you do. you lose
year's bloom. Dig them when the
foliage is yellow and lies flat on
the ground. It need not be com
pletely dry. The bulbs may be
planted at once or spread out To
dry in a cool ventilated place and
.
ptaniea any ume oeiween now
and fall. Daffodils mar be clant
ed in the fall, but not dug after
their roots have set if you expect
good bloom next springs
PXkN. asks what is meant by
viniieras grapes. Is it a variety?
Ans.: vimieras grapes are so-
termed European grapes, a tight
skinned grape as in contrast to the
slip-skins, or American varieties
