WINTER AHEAD It's time to bring house plants indoors and
time to start or buy new. ones, too. 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.

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.

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. . Y '
