Show Best For Trees - Late Summer October and November, 1980, and in May and June, 1981. These plants were then evaluated through the 1983 growing season. Results showed that only those plants set out in late November suffered any winter injury; those planted earlier in the season showed little or no bad effects. Good attributes this success to the fact that plants set out at this time suffer less acute moisture stress, a factor crucial to their chances of survival. In addition, the weather usually cooperates during late summer and early fall, providing environmental conditions conducive to Good good plant establishment, says.

Good, professor of floriculture at Cornell University, who conducted the study. In Plants, such as spruce, pine, juniper, honeylocust, maple, flowering crabapple, lilac and linden, among other species, can be planted successfully in the fall.

Never really out of fashion, it nonetheless has ups and downs Today it's on the upswing again. One of the finest recent examples of the Williamsburg look can be seen in the interior remodeling of an or- dinary home by designers at Armstrong. They rearranged a kitchen, living room and formal dining room to make a large suite in which the areas now flow together.

Its unexpected because Williamsburg colors are traditionally darker-hueblues and greens. The color scheme was suggested by the shade of the crisscross blue floorstripes on the white, d x ing.
