GRASS DISEASES: There are grass diseases Just as there
are human diseases. Ever hear of Brown Patch? Dollar
Spot? Snow Mold? Brown Patch is a fungus disease that
causes a dark ring or smoke screen sometimes several feet
in diameter.... Damping Off is another fungus disease that
infects young seedlings soon after they emerge from the
soil, taking an especially heavy toll in cool, damp weather.
. . . Dollar Spot gets its name from the fact that the
injured spots in the lawn closely resemble the size and shape
of a silver dollar. . . . Snow Mold patches are a dirty white,
may have a pinkish cast. Remedies? Ask the clerk at
your neighborhood Peoples Hardware Store, especially about
Seaboard’s Dupont Arasan treatment of Hormo Lawn Grass
Seed, which protects it against damping off. . . . Results
in a 46% % increase in the number of sedds which bear
grass blades!
★ ★ ★
A NOTE ON SEEDING: Hand sowing of seed is usually the
most satisfactory method of securing a complete and uni
form coverage on a small lawn, say the experts. The seed
may be diluted by mixing it with soil or fertilizer. It
should be divided in two lots. One lot should be broadcast
while walking lengthwise of the area, the other lot should
be sown while walking at right angles to the direction of
the first sowing. In this way you get complete coverage.
Seed should then be covered lightly by raking to keep it
from blowing or washing away. . . . Remember, perennial
grasses take four to six weeks to germinate, quick-growing
annual or biennial grasses may come up in a week or ten
days.
★ ★ ★
SPEAKING OF LAWN SEED: When buying lawn seed, ask
the clerk* what percent of long-lived perennial grasses the
mixture contains . . . one of the finest blends you can buy
for your lawn Is Seaboard’s Deluxe Hormo Lawn Grass Seed,
Dupont Arasan treated, sold exclusively by Peoples Hardware
in this area. Arasan treatment puts raincoats and galoshes
on the seed you plant, figuratively speaking, and the Hormo
Lawn mixture contains 100% perennial fine-leaved grasses,
over 3,000,000 seeds for pound, reduced by % the amount of
seed needed to sow your lawn! And remember if you’re plant
ing your lawn on a budget, Seaboard’s popularly priced Fa
vorite and Villa Green brands give yob top value in their
price range Need help in planning your lawn? Just sign
and send in the post card you’ll find in every package of Sea
board seed and we’ll send you the new, free 30-page Seaboard
Lawn Guide, “If You’re Really Interested in Grass,” which
gives you a step-by-step outline on how to grow and main
tain a fine lawn, and you’ll get the Seaboard “Lawn Letter,”
too, to keep you posted on lawn topics.

Gardening for Every One
Theme of International Show Stresses
Many Beneficial Returns for the Hobbyist
By W. H. Youngman
. The theme of the 1952 Inter
national (New York) Flower Show
“Gardening for Every One,” is
a slogan that we might all con
sider. Gardening is sm interesting
healthful out-of-doors exercise. It
brings us into contact with flower
growers from far and near. But
more especially it Is a hobby that
can be patterned to our needs.
If we wish to become vegetable
growers and have both the space
and energy, we can garden on a
half acre or more (especially is
this true with the modern power
equipment available). If we wish
to become a hobbyist and special
ize in a single flower, we can grow
an extensive list of varieties of
iris, roses, day lilies, azaleas, or a
host of other plants. Some col
lections require a considerable
area, others need no more space
than a corner of the backyard,
perhaps an area 10 feet square.
An orchid fan might be satisfied
with an orchid case indoors, oc
cupying an area 8 by 4 feet. Then
there is the window gardener, who
might have an extensive collec
tion of cacti arranged on glass
shelves in a sunny window.
Another fascinating feature for
the flower lover who develops a
hobby is that it can be started
from scratch and grow as ex
> perience permits. A single clump
of lily-of-the-valley was the
start of one hobby. An orchid on
the radiator has started several
, into a hobby that outgrew the
home and went into a greenhouse.
Iris fans normally start with a
, few varieties. The thrill of the
“Rainbow flowers” sometimes
carries them into collections that
i often include one to two hundred
, varieties, occasionally into several
1 hundred.
From Modest Start.
No doubt the 6ize of some gar
dener’s hobbies might frighten
the beginner, but that is because
■ they start to emulate one who has
achieved the higher levels. That
is no reason why we should not
1 start a modest hobby and learn
the fine art of cultivating some
one plant to perfection. Local
flower shows normally have
classes for novices, which pro
vide the test for measuring the
skill of the beginning grower. As
skill is acquired and more varie
ties obtained, there is ample op
portunity to match ability with
the better growers. Some of us
now grow several of the newer
and finer varieties of gladiolus,

but none of them quite provide
the thrill obtained with a $2 col
lection of small corms that pro
vided several bluy ribbon winner*
in the first competition entered.
Whether one buys a single
variety or a number, it is im
portant to buy healthy plants
from a reputable grower who
strives to sell correctly named
varieties.' While it isn’t at all
essential to start out with the
newest and highest priced varie
ties—generally they should be
avoided until cultural skill is ac
quired—it is wise to select some
one or more from the lists of the
best. Such lists almost always
have a few of the older but still
high-ranking varieties that can
be purchased for less than a dol
lar apiece. The best iris list, for
example, contains a number of
varieties that sell for 25 to 50
cents each. Many of the top
notch chrysanthemums r«in be
bought for 15 to 40 .cents per
rooted cutting. As for tulips, few
will omit the old standby. "Pride
of Haarlem" and “City of Haar
lem” from an exhibition list and
they do not command a premium.
It cannot be too strongly em
phasized that the gardener seek- '
lng a hobby among the many
kinds of flowers, shrubs and bulbs,
should keep it within bounds as
to cost, effort and space avail
able. A small plot well tended will
produce better quality products
than a large one, poorly tended.
There is a vast difference in the
satisfaction obtained from one
well-grown tomato than from a
half-acre plot where the tomatoes
hide among the weeds. In other
words, whether a beginner or a
rabid fan, to enjoy a hobby, pat
tern it to the time normally avail
able for such an activity. This
holds true whether the gardener
is 6 or 60 years of age.
Valuable for Children.
Speaking of 6-year olds re
minds me that giving the young
ster a few square feet of space is
valuable training. Not only do
they learn the fundamentals of
gardening, but they learn to know
the flowers. Tending a garden
plot is a good means of teaching
regularity of work, and they will
respond much more readily to it
than they will to mowing the
yard Saturday mornings. More
over, if they know the flowers are
theirs to pick and use as they
wish, they will soon learn to re
spect and leave alone the flowers
of others, and that is an im
portant lesson for the young cit
izen.
Today there is another value in
hobby gardening that is gaining
attention, but when I first heard
it years ago it seemed a bit absurd.
A doctor, speaking before the
American Rose Society, stated
that “while he could not prove it.
he believed there was something
healthful gained through contact
with the soil.” That talk was be- .
fore the days of antibiotics and
the wonder drugs now employed
which are obtained in the begin
ning from the soil.
Certainly gardening is a hobby
for every one, rich or poor, big or
small, young or old, because it can
be, and should be, patterned to
the individual’s likes, pocketbook.
experience, interest, time and
available space. To pick a'shade
loving plant for a hobby when wa
have only a sunny plot of ground
is to approach the hobby from the
rear—it can be done but why not
pick one that is easier. Garden
ing should be fun; let’s keep it
that way.
