Stark Tribune Garden Consultant Q. Please give me several plants that will do well in a rather dry and sunny slope? D. A., Salt Ixike City. but tart APPLE PIE may be cherry pie is right up there with it for delicious eating.

I would like to have some of the Madonna lilies in my garden. UTiat soil and how do you plant them? S. L., Salt Ixike City. LILIES never go completely dormant so you should plant bulbs immediately after obtaining them You can plant lilies best in the fall right after they are dug. However, if you can find firm bulbs in the spring they can go into the garden at that time. Some of the local nurseries carry lilies planted in containers so they can be placed in the garden at any time during the growing season STAR GAZER0 ARIES MAR. 21 A First of all lilies should have very good drainage. It is well to dig the planting hole a little deeper than you wish the bulb to be and set a layer of sand in the bottom of it On this, place a layer of soil and the lily bulb on the soil. Fill in around with good top soil. The Madonna lily is an exception. It should be planted in August. As it is a base rooting type, you cover it only with about two inches of soil. Most other lilies produce roots on their stems and should be planted around 8 inches deep. Place lilies where they will have afternoon shade to better protect the bloom ar.d keep it longer. Mulch over the lilies for winter protection. A summer mulch will conserve water and keep the roots cool. You can also plant annuals around your lilies for more color in the garden. t By CLAY R.

Neither are aphids and slugs, perennial pests on all sweet cherry trees. In some situations a sour cherry tree can be grown with no spraying at all, except for mildew and for the elimination of San Jose scale which may infest the trees under some conditions.

A few well placed cuts each winter is all that is required to shape the tree to your liking and keep it in bounds. MONTMORENCY is most widely grown by tart cherry growers in this area as it grows well under local climactic and soil conditions. In an ordinary year it blooms late enough to escape most spring frosts that take apricots and peaches in the same garden Commercial tart cherries go directly from the orchard to processors.
