Rose Culture Cited
As H ea I thy Pastime
Like to have a large and
exquisitely beautiful rose gar- :
den? -iir:v;-- ., r
, Some thousands,; of , home
owners have rose"; gardens 1
ranging from, fifty to several
thousand plants Including in-
ternationally-famous varieties 4
as well as old favorites. Many '..
more home owners of course
have rose gardens ranging up .
to 2B plants or so. - .
Rose culture not only Is a
healthy pastime that gets peo- '
pie outdoors but is one of the
most mentally refreshing and,
beautiful activities one can
engage in around the home."
"Home owners who wish to
be .-' better informed about
roses should do three things," v
states American Association .
of Nurserymen:.
1 1. Read the garden pages
of their favorite newspaper
and magazines.
' 2. Join the American Rose
Society, Park of Roses Colum
bus, Ohio, a strictly non-profit
organization with very mod-'
erate dues. .
. 3. Study nursery cata-
logues and get advice from',
their favorite nurserymen. .,
By following a few rules, ,
says the .American Associa
tion of Nurserymen, help ob
tain better blooms, lovelier
roses. i . ; . ;' ." ',. . .
1. When planting, dig a hole
wide enough for the roots to
spread out without cramping.
Dig enough. so that the soil.
will be loose and friable for
six inches or so, below the
level of the roots. Mix peat
moss into the soil and firm
the soil so there' will be no.
large air . spaces around the
rOOtS.' -'.
Handful of Fertiliser .-!
2. Fertilize when growth
starts in spring and then again .
after the heavy blooming pe
riod. Do not over-fertilize, A
handful of good rose fertilizer
will suffice. ,
3. Mulching helps roses.
Spread peat moss or other
mulch on the surface of the,'
ground to a depth of two to
four inches around the main
stems..', -r
, 4. Spray regularly with
recommended, rose sprays.
5. Snip off old blooms. This
Induces heavier later bloom,
ing. V ::;; ''.:,. .
6. Where winters are se-r
vere, mound earth around the
stems up to eigh to ten inches
high to help them through the
dormant seasons.-' -
Remove the mound in the
spring. . '
Good care of the plants in
sures more bountiful produc
tion of larger blooms. ,
SAFETY TOOL
An effective safety tool and
hygiene guard, a swimming
pool cover can also provide
an attractive splash of color
for your outdoor-living area,
that fits into your decorative
scheme. .
The "revolution" in build-
- ing materials has brought so.
many improved products, .it's
almost impossible to keep up
with them. .
One new. idea -in building -:

wood wall ' paneling that,' V
thanks to progress of the ply-' -
: wood industry, now comes in?
luxurious-looking, easy.to-han-dle
4 by 8-foot or longer fac
tory finished panels.
-The recent development of '
a mufticoated, baked-on plasv :
tic "famUy-proof" finish that
defies normal wear, tear and
stains (very . similar to the
baked-on finish of a fine auto),
has added new. impetus to the
. trend toward natural woods.
If s easy to apply. But big
: questions among the unlnlti-
- ated apparently still are: "Just -how
do you apply it?"' and .
"How do you figure the right '
number, of panel sto buy?" -
. The answers came from a
"carpenter"? v. Mel Carpenter -(his
real name), and executive ,
of - Georgia-Pacific. 'Corp.-. in
Portland,. Ore., - the world's
largest plywood maker.-,;
'Carpenter is author of a .-just-issued
handbook on "How -To
: Panel,'? which . answers
many more than the usual ,
questions. '" Actually," Carpen-:
ter explains, 'anyone who can
handle a hammer and saw. can ;
apply ' the new ' already.-fin- :
ished hardwood plywood pan
els' - . . - . -In
remodeling, a new wall
of natural hardwood can be"
- applied without, even xemov-

" Home Lawn Care
No Longer Chore"
.:. Care of home 'grounds is
; no longer a. chore-it's almost -a
pleasure With the scientifi
cally designed mechanized'
time and labpr savers avail- :
able1 today. Now gardening
, can be a : means of pleasant
exercise and a source of ere- -
- ative satisfaction to - many -,
homeowners. . .. y
-' The most important' point,
- however, is that mechanical '
aids make it possible to per
form necessary tasks quickly
and without arduous labor. -.
Modern gardening . imple
ments make good sense even
for those who employ outside .
help. They help the hired man
do a neater, more efficient job
in a minimum of time, - .
sanding,-"- sealing,- varnishing
or lacquering.. .
Estimating the number of
panels needed can be done by
at least two methods:
' Merely add the length, ot
the two sides and two ends of
the room or the clrcumfer-.
ence. Divide that footage-figure
by.'4 to-find the number
of 4-f oot-wide panels you need.:
Then deduct 46of a panel for
each door, 38 for the fire?--place.
If you discover you
need 12 and 46ths of a panel,
for- example, you ) will of
course need 18 panels,"
A more accurate method is
to figure the square footage of
all walls to be paneled (length ,'
times the height , 6f each).
Then figure square footage of
window, door and fireplace
openings (same formula) and
deduct from the total footage,
of the walls. - .,..
If your walls are 8 feet
high or slightly less, divide
the net square footage total
by. 32 (each 4 by 8 panel cov
ers 32 square feet) and -you
have the- number of panels.
If the walls are 9 feet high or
slightly less, divide by 36 (4 by
9 panels cover 36 square feet).
. If you must store the hard
wood plywood - sheets, lay
: them flat.. Don't apply them
" over new plaster walls until
. the plaster . is . completely ,
dried. The plaster's moisture
, will have a hard time getting
; through those multiple -coats
' of baked-on "family proofing".
When you have installed
"family-proof . panels, 5 , the
room you have paneled-.ls
.ready "for living after a a wish
with a damp cloth to wipe- off
any fingerprints or smudges. .
There are special questions
. for special paneling jobs, and

' details for the job in his hand-book:
