Garden Flags: There is probably nothing that marks the knowledgeable skipper as much as the proper flying of garden flags on his or her boat. There are no laws or regulations governing the display of garden flags and pennants on a recreational craft, but there are well-established customs and procedures. These cover what garden flags are to be flown, what size they should be, and when and where on a Boat they should be displayed. The term "colors" properly applies only to the flag at the stern of a Boat that denotes its nationality. In practice, however, it has come to be used to describe all the garden flags flown.
Other garden flags, such as club burgees, officers' garden flags, and private signals on motorboats, should be approximately 5/8 of an inch for each foot of overall length. On sailboats, they should be approx¬imately 1/2 inch on the fly for each foot that the highest masthead is above the water. The shape and proportions of pennants and burgees will be prescribed by the organization to which they relate.
Flying garden flags in Foreign WatersSee Also Garden Pests:These are selective weedkillers. At recommended dilutions, they eliminate many kinds of weeds and leave the grass unharmed, or essentially so. Great care must be taken in using them. The chemicals 2,4D and 2,4,5-T, for example, are relatively harm¬less to grass but causes fearful distortion and eventually the death of most broad-leaved weeds, as well as garden pests plants with which they come in contact. It is easy to do serious damage if a breeze carries a mist of the spray on to trees, shrubs or other garden pests plants, or if a sprayer in which they have been is used for insecticides or fungicides without a thorough cleansing first. The 2,4D chiefly eliminates non-woody weeds; 2,4,5-T is effective against shrubby weeds. Some name-brand weed killers, such as Weedone, contain both. Some weeds, Oxalis, buttercups and purs¬lane, for example, are resistant to selective weed killers. Make several applications.
CHECK list of all pests and diseases that attack turf is formidable, posi¬tively frightening. But so is a complete enumeration of ills that afflict mankind. Faced with these possibilities it seems re¬markable that any child ever reaches adulthood. Likewise, if you read garden pests¬ing writings and heed advertisers of insec¬ticides and fungicides, it's hard to believe you can raise a lawn •without constantly battling tiny (and sometimes not so tiny) organisms. It's not as bad as that. Just as a human may get a few diseases, but not all that flesh is heir to, so your lawn is likely to suffer occasionally from one or more pests and diseases. But you won't get all or even a sizable proportion of those that may injure grass.
To distinguish one species of toad from another is quite impossible for the layman. It requires the knowledge and experience of a person who has made a study of these friendly creatures. For the layman, it is enough to recognize that a toad is a very important creature in any garden pests. It is most effective in helping one to control insect pests.
On The Other Hand See Garden Benches:The Gate Theater, in Dublin, has high-grade performances even in summer, and as likely as not you'll find one or two "little theater" groups holding forth in garrets or store rooms. I once saw the 37 Theater Club do an Irish ver¬sion of Jean Anouilh's The Fading Mansion in an incredibly rude little loft on O'Connell Street, with wooden benches in the auditorium. The performance was definitely good. I even enjoyed it twice.
The inclusion of an arresting object within a small garden benches is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the garden benches itself. The focal point in this garden benches is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the garden benches. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the garden benches. |
