It is doing quite well at present but have had se many ferns die with apparently no cause I bold my breath for this one How can I know when it should be repotted? Where should it be set and does it hurt it to so much as touch it? How should it be watered? Thank you F L Salt Lake City A—Boston ferns should be grown In an area of bright light but not in direct rays of the sun Watering overhead is quite satisfactory Don't let them dry out And syringe the foliage rather frequently if you can do so conveniently in your home Keep away from registers or radiators When some of the older fronds become brownish cut them out It Is sometimes advantageous to thin out the crowns to allow for easier development of the new shoots arising from the center These plants should be repotted when the ball of soil in the pot becomes heavily encrusted with roots The plant can be shifted to a larger pot with the roots Intact or the 23 I : would initiated easterners do a good Job in efficient landscaping of our niinute estate? We'd like to have both flowers and vegetables fruit trees lawn evergreen and flowering shrubs etc If at all possible I realize we will have to scale down our desires to the size of our lot but we'd like to have some good advice before starting In particular we are interested in learning Just what varieties of plants grow best in this area and what special care if any is required for them I gather that Utah means everlasting irrigation or watering We noted your reference to Itottomley's New Designs for Small Properties but haven't found It yet One further question—When Is topsoil available and what treatment does it need before planting? We would like to get as much In as possible as early as possible Will appreciate any help you ran give me II V M Salt Lake City ' Prof E N Stallings and Salt Lake Tribune Garden Consultant By ' ?

Suckers water sprouts crossed branches small branches which will in a few years be too large branches with a weak union to the main stems dead and diseased wood and low hanging or otherwise dangerous limbs It is best usually to start at the top and work down All cuts large or small should be as nearly flush as possible with the remaining twig or limb Improve Your Home With a Better Garden A better garden means creiNed producthity nomical living ty o in eco- Plant These Early lovtio Sweet Peas Se Larkspur Asters Garden Peas IF 6 11 Onions gotoil Parsnips 1111-it- Box 1619 for FREE CATALOG Spinach there ever any 1111 11 Irnglish walnuts grown in Ogden or anywhere In Utah?
