Pink elephant and butterflies feature this rubber tile table. This U
easy to 4a the do-it-yourselfers say, but accuracy Is required.
Rubber Tile Can Pep Up
Any Battered Old Table
You can make an interesting
coffee table or nursery play or
breakfast table out of an old beat
up one, by adding a tilt top. Put
a plain color turquoise, yellow
or gray green on it if you like it
in a checkerboard or another de
sign. Or insert a favorite design
of your own choosing for an un
usual effect.
Do-it-yourself projects are al
ways touted as "easydocs-it."
'And no matter how simple the
idea looks it is well to- keep in
mind that experimentation de
mands a stop-and-think-first pol
icy if it is to pan out.
Pink Elephant Good
Such is the case if you plan to
put a design into your tile-topped
table. A pink . elephant might be
created out of pink rubber tile
and inserted into a gray or black
rubber tile background for jolly
effect. But you'll need to he ac
curate to do it. It's a good idea
to cut a cardboard stencil of an
elephant and place it on top of
the pink tile. It should then be
cut to shape with a flooring knife,
available when the tile is sold.
You should place this stencil over
the background area where the
elephant could then be slipped
into place. He should fit as cozily
as a jigsaw puzzle.
Need Drying
Sand old paint off the- table
first then lay out the rubber tiles
and cut to shape. Spread the sur
face of the table with a rubber
flooring adhesive and lay the tiles
back in place. Allow them to dry
for 24 hours before using the
table.
There ore other Interesting mo
tifs besides pink elephants to be
sure. Amateur yachtsmen might
prefer sailboats, hunters might
want a bird dog to glorify a little
table in the den. A teddy bear
might be more suitable for the
nursery, and f oung moderns have
their own ideas about desgins
that interest them.
Garden Gabbing
By GARDEN GADDER
FLOWER SHOW The charming flower show which has become
an annual event by the Silverton Jay-C-Ettes if being planned again
for August i at the Eugene Field Auditorium.
There are six divisions in the show: Division I is a choice
bloom bouquet of five or more, in one variety. This will be judged
as horticulture and not as arrangement. In this group may be
-roses. Gladioli, Dahlias, petunias, marigolds and zinnias. Division
2 is artistic arrangements, in the usual monitone, high and low,
mixed colors, the favorite arrangement, and. so on.
There's a division for men only, another for juniors, under 15
years (which must he arranged by the exhibitor at the building';
another for potted plants and one for planters.
Arrangements, not in a classification, will be displayed but not
Judged, and displays may be entered and arranged from t to 11
a.m. on the morning of the show. Judging begins at 11 o'clock. The
flower (how is limited to amateur growers and local commercial
growers. The latter will not be judged In competition.
The ahow will be open to the public from 1:30 to I p.m. with
toffee hour from 1:30 to I p.m.
LEAFLETS THREE Remember the aid waning: "Leaflets
three, let them be." This la pretty good advice this year, aa there
Is at overabundance ( polios oak. II la doubt, let the shrub
with the pretty little leaves aloae.
This plant, which caa aire m much discomfort te the sus
ceptible person, rat be sprayed "out." But If It Is growing uext
to valuable trees and shrubs, where chemical sprays are aot
safe to use, grubbing must be resorted to. It you are careful,
you ran roat the leaves aad the woody stems Bear the ground
with the new weed killer, listed as Z43-T quite successfully.
Where you ran spray, the commercial chemical sprays, with
ammonium sulfate, one pound to each gallon of water, will give
safe and effective control. Several applications may be neees
. aary, as poisoa oak doesn't give up easily.
O
OLD WIVES' TALES That's what the Better Gardens Institute
calls that one about watering the lawn on a hot day. This, says the
institute, will not burn the grass. What's bad. is mrrcl sprinkling.
The lawn, to kecp.it at its best, should be watered thoroughly, so
that it is soaked down well.
Here are some other tips from the institute: Don't mow the
lawn closer than 14 to 2 inches during hot weather. And if you
now frequently, let the clippings lie. If the grass gets high and the
clippings mat it down, it is better to remove them and put them
on a compost heap.
LAWN MOTHS Keep a constant watch for the busy lawu
moth. Van probably won't spot the moth Itself until you've
. noticed some of the damage It has done la the form of uneven-.
nesa of grass, dying back of new (rasa shoots and ugly brown
patches. The lawa moth is pretty bard to find, but If you walk
through the grass and stir It up, you may get It to fly up. At
Bight, It caa be spotted by Its grayish-white color as It flies about
over the grass.
During the summer and early fall, caterpillars of the lawn
moth may do serious damage by feeding upon the growing
grass, eating the greener parts of the crown but aot bothering
the roots. So, unless you check them as soon as you see evidence
of their work, you'll be In for unsightly lawn trouble during the
entire growing season.
Control caa be had by chlordane al the rale of 4 to T
pounds per acre. The emulsion concentrate, dust or wettable
powder form can be used, but whatever chlordane formulation .
is used, the lawn should be watered thoroughly before the treat
ment. Then It should not be watered again for several days.
BOOK CROP This, like so many of our plants, isn't strictly new
but it is a very nice one to own, if you feel the need of another
garden book: It is Norman Taylor's "The Everblooming Garden"
l VanNostrandi. This offers advice on relieving winter's drabness by
stressing a year-round floral timetable.
"Fruit in the Garden," by the same author and the same pub
lisher, gives information for the week-end gardener with limited
spore on now 10 plan, nrit'ii, giuw amu cair mi irun net's.
This' Week In the Garden
Time to do a little spot-killing
of weeds on the lawn. Weed killers
can be had in powder form or in
aeresols. Just keep the spot dry
for at least six hours after appli
cation. If you have hard dry spots on
the lawn, spike the spots to permit ;
better penetration of water. i
Sow pansy seed for next year's
bloom. I
Stop feeding rhododendrons, at-1
aleas, and camellias, but do not
let them dry out.
Gather delphinium seed as soon
as it is ripe and sow it at once
in a row in the vegetable garden
You'll have blooming plants for
transplanting this fall or early next
spring.
