TAYLOR ' ADVICE FOR BEGINNING GARDENERS Learn all you can from quali fied local sources, your county agent, seedsmen, etc. Plant only the quantity for which you can properly care.

DO YOU KNOW That petunias are the most uni versally popular of all seed-grown annuals? When sowing seeds in flats, the sou should be moist but not wet? Zoysia, an extensively adver tised lawn grass substitute, is a creeping perennial grass from Southern Asia, most successfully used in warmer climates? That Bermuda was the first re gion to grow Easter Lilies com mercially? Lilacs can be grown in large pots and forced into bloom in a greenhouse? Leguminous plants (peas, beans. clover, etc.) have the ability to transform atmospheric nitrogen into compounds for use of plants hence are often used for cov er-cropping, as when turned un der they add this quality to the soil? Leguminous plants actually leave a soil richer after being grown than it was previously? Spring fertilizing of lawn is of ten on the basis of a 5-10-5 fertil izer, at 1 cubic yard compost with 15 lbs. of fertilizer to 1,000 square feet of lawn? That Kalmia, or Mountain Laur el, is a member of the Heath fam ily? .. The English ins, a bulbous ins, really comes to us from Spain? READER'S QUESTIONS ANSWERED Q. My new lawn planted last fall is now about 4 incnes nign. How much should I cut off now? W.B. Ans. Set the mower to 2 to 2W inches for now then later set the mower at 114 inches. Q. What fertilizer is best to use on lawns now? W.B. - A. A yearly top dressing of weed -free organic fertilizer at 25 lbs. to 1,000 square feet is ad visable. This builds up the or ganic content of the soil that may be washed away by the previous season's irrigating. Use of 3 to 5 lbs. of ammonium sulphate per 1,000 square feet of lawn every 6 to 8 weeks is good practice if well watered in. Watering in pre vents the possibility of burning. Q. Isn't present new growth on roses liable to be damaged by a late frost? E.D. A. Certainly, but If this hap pens, prune the blighted growth back to the next outside eye and you will find that it will recover rapidly. Roses are, as a rule, very hardv. Q. When is the average date of the last killing frost in the lower Willamette Valley? R.P. A. Generally conceded to be about May 15, though it may vary to as early a date as March 15. Q. What fruit trees require pol lenizers to insure fruit? A. Usually, cherries, peaches and grapes require pollenizera In order in insure fruiting by the fe male plant. This may vary with Hideaway Bed Small Homes Space Saver varieties and species. It's a eood iaea to plant two of any kind of truit or nut trees to insure an adequate-set of fruit. Q. Please list some good bed ding plants Mrs. U.S. a. snapdragons, primroses. marigolds, asters, phlox, petunias and pansies are Sume of the most reliable. Q. When and how do vou sow weed of Scarlet Sage? Mrs. O.M, A. how where they are to flow er or they can be started in pots or flats. Night temperature for good germination should not be less than 60 degrees, for Scarlet sage, or Salvia. Several varieties of the old Scarlet Sage are now available for different heiehts and blooming periods. This is an ex cellent annual too often over looked in local gardents. . I have a new greenhouse and would like to try raising potted plants from seed. What are some popular ones of fairly easy cul ture for a beginner? Mrs. A.K. A. Cineraries. Calceolaris and Cyclamen are all good. Green house temperature should be from 50 to 57 degrees for best results. Q. What annual plants do well in a fairly shady location? Mrs. O.T. A. Coleus, Salvia and Imoa- tiens. a. i am interested in raisine camellias. Do they require a spraying program? Mrs. L.H. A. Generally camellias are dis ease-free but one of the scale in sect pests is a serious problem so as a precaution it is wise to spray in- may or June, using a volck spray, following the manufactur er s directions implicity. Q. I have collected a number of young native rhododendrons. Should these be topped to prevent scraggiy growth? K.L. A. Yes, pinching out the topi will encourage branching. Q We have two large camel lia bushes that have, as vet, shown no buds. Why is this? E.T. A. You may have late bloom ing varieties, or, more probably your watering and fertilizing pro gram last year did not permit such growth to form as it custom arily does. Never let the plant dry out during hot weather. Then, in fall begin to withhold water so as to discourage new growth that might winter kill. Hideaway beds are enjoying a comeback and for a good reason, It's because the homes being built these days are generally smaller and more compact, yet the people who buy them like to have as much room to move about in as they ever had before. Then there are those who would like to have, say, a guest room and a study, but don't have room .or both. Hideaway beds can be a practi cal answer in either case. Install ed under a book case in a study, a hideaway doesn't diminish floor space a bit, and you'd never sus pect it was there. Folded down, it converts the study into a guest room in a'flash. One model will fit into a recess only 12 inches deep. It is built for any standard single or H-double mattress. Counterbalancing springs absorb most of the weight of the bed as it is raised and low ered and the bed's legs fold away to conserve every inch of space. Nothing could be simpler than Holes, Hooks Make Home Storage Easy A handy storage device, new on the market, is simply a panel having dozens of even-spaced holes and various kinds of hooks and hangers that fit into them. On these fixtures you can hang just about anything that has to be stored in and about the home, ranging from hats and shoes to kitchen utensils. There are numerous uses in the kitchen for hanging most used utensils in an accessible spot; in the workshop for the haadyman's tools, in a child's room for hanging toys, pictures and prized school work; in the garage for garden tools and all the rest of the things that usually stand precariously against the walls or in the corners; in closets, where the perforated panels will literally double or triple the storage capacity. The' perforated panels, avail able in lumber yards, come in eight standard sizes, and there are more than 60 kinds of self- locking, quick-changing fixtures to fit into the holes. Decorative as well as functional, these "working walls" may be install ed right over an existing wall Pictures, planters, clocks and other items may then be hung wherever desired and changed: almost instantly whenever the old arrangement becomes tire some. YOU CAN REMOVE ROUGE from towels and handkerchiefs by softening the stain with glycer ine and then washing in hot soap suds.

Sun., Mar. 21, 1954 79 the installation of a recess tied like this one. A half-dozen screws fasten the bed to the floor so that the counterbalancing springs can be attached to a base frame which in turn is solidly secured to the floor. naiseo, me oed rests on one side. There are others that stand on end in their enclosures, and still others that pivot or roll on wheels into closets. The problem for the home own er who wishes to install his own hideaway bed is the construction of an enclosure for it. This, too, can be handled simply. The bed might be concealed by floor-to-ceiling drapes or bamboo1 curtains hung from a ceiling track, or could be built into a room divider between dining and living areas. Another convenient and attract ive arrangement calls for a floor-lo-ceiling enclosure made of raised-grain plywood. Closed it looks like a wardrobe cabinet, but ac tually houses an upright hideaway bed. Hinged doors on the "cabi net" are equipped with drop leaves for convenient writing space. Recess beds that disappear into the walls of an expansion attic add a lot of extra play space for the youngsters during the day. finally, don t overlook the base ment rumpus room as a location for a recess bed if there is no room elsewhere in the house.
