Into the Open Gardening Techniques Known, but Ignored by Lover of Great Outdoors i , By MAXINE BUREN . ... Statesman Woman's Editor There's another smarter and more learned writer on the subject of gardening on this paper, but every once in a while we .find our horticultural thoughts bursting their bounds, so we snitch a bit on Lillie Madsen's territory. :;. We are in a mood for gardening on paper that is. Looking through a perfectly -glorious gardening section of a New York newspaper, we find that it says little about the ac tual problems of gardening, but the headlines give us ideas. y . ;This year we did something sensible something we have ' never before done. ; - '' , We took ourselves and a pencil and paper and walked around our garden making notes on what we should do to pro duce better effects next year. "Set Helenium back farther " "Put zinnias in masses along wall "More 1 a r j e leaved greens on , southeast side of house" and so on. Well carefully go over these notes when wintertimecomes but probably ignore them in the spring. But it was a fine idea, , and we may unconsciously follow some of our own suggestions. We, a rank amateur, have found that in a very small way we can propogate plants even though we break all the rules especially the one that says water the poor little things when they are getting a start " ! IN SIGHT. IN MIND - We located ourselves a place at the left of the back door. This spot is one we always keep watered because it is handy to the source of supple, and we see it every time we go in or out of the house. It is sandy and shaded. 1 " We last year started half a dozen hydrangeas which we sur: niptitiOusly -pinched off bushes of unsuspecting friends. This 'year they are thriving bushes and we shall put them in perman ent spots come winter. ' , A little propo gating bed also yielded several very nice rose mary, starts, some rose cuttings and broadleaved evergreens that looked like they wanted to start, and did. : : Though this feat would probably be beneath the notice of a successful gardener, to our immature mind, it seems quite won derful and so very, very inexpensive. 1 We shall add to our en terprise in a bigger way this season. SMART FOLKS ' If you too are a gardener who finds this, eternal $5 and $10 a month for shrubs a drain on the economy, you'll feel as we do that even six successful plants a year helps the looks of things and goes great guns with the ego. ' This year too we greatly widened out our viola supply. We went carefully over the plants, pulled some entirely apart and. . planting some 15 to 20 small shoots with minute roots in flats. These should be planted out later and cut back in January or February to make nice shaped plants. Of course the fact that we forgot to water the flats andthe little plantlets found life too difficult does not mean that the . idea was not a good one. Dead violas, it seems do not need cut ting back in January. , .: ; ' Now's the time for planting bulbs, and next spring's dis play of hyacinths, tulips and daffodils will be a wonderfully re warding for this autumn's efforts. 8 s ) fiirlIdDiig Ibtt'lPip foe SimpS AS . . . . : .9 - 1 ------ . 1 J - - . - - i ' - - " - . ; - mm fp) IN A GREAT nrn Luuv SMI We are so crowded, what with contractors customers hired help and our building be ing rearranged, well, we have to get rid of something.
