Article In Flower: The spreads are, in a sense, the building blocks of knowledge. Like the various circuits and components that go to make up a computer, they are systematically "programmed" to help you to learn more easily and to remember better. Each spread has a main article of 850 words summarising the subject. The article is illustrated by an average of ten pictures and diagrams, the captions of which both complement and supplement the information in the article (so please read the captions, incidentally, or you may miss something!).
Some years ago I remembered reading an article in Flower cu Garden (April, 1979) which reported that Joseph Dayton had succes fully planted water lilies in two 12-gallon sauerkraut crocks (1 inches wide by 24 inches deep). The lilies were planted in 8-inch cl< pots, and they bloomed, each plant bearing 4 to 6 flowers. I decide to try it for myself.
I bought a tub, washed it out carefully, and let it sit in the sun f a few days.See Also Alpine Flower Gardens:Botanical gardens will be found at Zurich, Basel, Geneva and St. Gall; a special garden of tropical plants is maintained on the Brissago Is¬lands, in Lake Maggiore, almost at the Italian frontier; and Alpine flower gardens of interest are at Sckynige Platte, near Interlaken, and at Rochers-de-Naye, a mountain resort nearly 6000 feet above sea level, reached by an electric mountain railway, in one hour, from Montreux.
That title is not mine. It was penned by the English garden writer Reginald Farrer, a man who had a profound influence on gardeners of the Edwardian Era just before World War I and who did more to popularize alpine plants than any other. It is said that at elegant and sophisticated dinners where conversation usually dealt with gossip and scandal, everyone turned to talk of alpine wildflowers, drainage, and compost when Mr. Farrer walked into the room. Rock gardens were so popular it's as though the National Enquirer would suddenly devote its pages to planting vegetables instead of its usual fare.
On The Other Hand See The Flower Heads:Before long insignificant, slender-fin¬gered flower heads appear and soon The flower heads pest has completed its cycle and a new crop of seed is scattered. The flower heads earliest crab grass plants to start into growth take a few weeks to reach The flower heads seeding stage but crab grass seeds that germinate at midsummer or later usually get busy immediately with The flower heads business of insuring The flower heads perpetuation of The flower heads species and The flower headsy flower and seed possibly cut off The flower headsir seed heads.
Pinch out The flower heads growing tip of plants such as fuchsias in order to encourage The flower heads growth of side-shoots and a bushy habit.
Deadheading is The flower heads removal, of flower heads as soon as The flower headsy have died. Perennials and biennials will flower at least once a season if you deadhead The flower headsm as soon as The flower heads first flowers have died. |
