Old or new plants should be fed three or four times before the darker weather begins, then feeding should be suspended until late winter which we usually term early spring here. For an plant that is a "good feeder", apply solutions of a balanced plant food every three weeks until December, then hold off for s couple of months unless there is strong artificial lighting. When watering, flush the soil occaiionally and discard the drainage water at once, to prevent build-up of unbalanced aoluable salts. , ' . .5 1 SWISH THAT SEASON'S GONE Shocking the way time passes. Spring and picking season began only yesterday, and now It's fall and putting away time again. And if home garden ers are interested in renovating or replanting small backyard patches of strawberries, this Job could be down now. Although commercial fields are not economically planted In the fall, a imall patch In the kitchen garden could be act oat most satisfactorily now. A year of eating Is gained this way. While Marshall and Northwest, the two common commercial varieties In this area, are familiar to most folk, It might be well to consider some of the everbearing varieties too, for the home garden. Such varieties as Red Rich and Brilliant of the new ones, and Rockhill, the older variety, are well suited for home garden use. s, AGAIN LET U$ SPRAY Arborvitae needs a fall spray to guard against Berckmann's blight. Cooler weather and fall rains activate blight, spores and the disease will progress during this cool portion of the year. In cases where sprays were not used a year ago, quite a lot of tip-browning and dieback have resulted tRis past year with a lot of letters to the garden editor as to "What to Do7". Now is the time "to do", Anyone of the three following materials will do the Job success fully, if a thorough coverage is obtained Copper A, at three pounds per 100 gallona of water; or Tribaslc Copper sulfate at three pounds, or COCS at two and a half to three pounds per 100 gallons. The material should dry on the plant or trees which brings out this interesting note: If rain washes the spray of, the operation should be repeated until it can dry on the tree. . HI, LO! HIGH Until this week, we did not know that squash could be a tree fruit Four year-old Marilyn Almquist proved to us that it could, however. She took us out in her mother's, Mrs. Elvln Almquist, home at 124 Cherry St, Silverton, and showed us a 20-pound squash hanging beautifully In an apple tree. In fart it was weighting down one of the branches on the tree. On another branch was another equally big squash. (Picture on this page.) Mrs. Almquist admitted she had no Intention of growing squash in an apple tree, and as a matter of fact didn't know she had . until ner neighbor, Warren Leveke, told her that her squash j was trespassing. The apple tree happened to be his and was growing his side of the imaginary line between the two homes. Mrs. Almquist had planted a few squash seed In a tiny garden plot, she said, and the Vines had "done very well." So well, la fact, had they done that they had crawled over the property line and into the apple tree where they bloomed and bore the huge fruit Warren, who is technician at the Silverton Hospital, said he didnT mind but It was a big surprise even for a scientist to see such big fruit in his apple tree. nnniN not ALWAYS BIRD In this particular case it is a rose.

We have quite a bit of space for the rosea aa they are our favorite flower.", L. T, D. "Once you wrote that Thanks giving was your favorite time for planting roses. From that 1 take it that you think autumn is a good time. I was living In an apartment house at the time, but I always remembered you aaid that Now we have a home with a good sunny spot for rose gar den. But I don t know the good new ones. Those I remember are Talisman, Austrian Copper, Oph elia, La France , , . and 1 liked these very well . . . but don't suppose they are good any more, Would you name some newer ones?" G. 0. M. The three letters containing the above questions arrived in the same mail this week, so in stead or including them In the regular Quesion-Answer column, I'll try to answer them at greater length, in hopes that others, too might be. interesed in rosea this time of the year. Fait Planting Good There are gardeners who would noi muiK 01 putting out a new rose bush until late February or early March for fear the bush would be lost. It is true, occasion ally a bush planted In the fall does not come through the win ter but the same thing happens to a bush planted in the soring. I like mine planted in the fall. tor they seem to get off to a bet ter start next spring. This doesn't matter now, as much as it did be fore bushes could be bought pot ted. The potted rose bush plant ed in the spring seems to suffer little setback from the reo anting but I atill like to plant my ros es in the fall! Because so .many beginners seem to think rose growing and planting Js a complicated thing, I like to use the instructiona given by the American Rom Society: "If you are one of those who do not grow rosea because you think it is too much bother to prepare the beds and too much care to look after them, please bear this ia ininu '.'., "A rose bed may b,e prepared in as simple or as complicated a way as you wish. If the soil is fertile and productive you don't need to worry about any special preparation. If it it poor, work In organie ' material auch at com post, well rotted manure, peat most. Be sure to obtain good qua lity stock and plant the bushes carefully by spreading out the roots and packing the soil firm ly around them and watering. Taket Little Time A "If you start growing roses with a dozen or a half doten, the only care necessary during the season it a few minutes once a week to cultivate the bed and to dust the bushes for pests and diseases. Fertilizing two or three timet a year takes but few min utes and the same applies to pruning and Irrigating." Choose a tunny spot or at least one that gives you sun dur ing the morning and perhaps late afternoon. As to variety there are stores to choose from. Some growers like one best Some prefer oth ers. Mixing or separating colors and varieties is a matter of choice. Grouping three or four of ne vnriety is interesting. But if you like a lot of varieties, and can have only a dozen or so bush esby all means mix them as to color.

Question Our daffodil bulbs . didnt give much bloom this yesr so I took up the bulbs this week to replant Found some grubs in them. Have thrown sand over; them and am now awaiting your! answer as to what to do. W.T. Answer Daffodil bulb grubs can be effectively controlled if bulbs are treated before replant- ing. Soak bulbs from 10 minutes to one hour in a solution of hep tachlor. For each 5 gallons- of ' water, add 3 fluid ounces of the heptachlor concentrate. This con centrate must be a 29 per cent heptachlor. Heptachlor may be somewhat uncommon on dealers' shelves this time of year, but a few days' delay in receiving the insecticide would be much better than planting back without treat ment Basal root rot, common to the narcissus family, can be eon- , trolled In the same operation by adding one-fifth ounce of phenyl mercuric acetate, or eight ounces ' of I per cent eeresea to the tame S gallons of water. .
