Gary Spitzer, all of Stamford. The following garden check list for December has been released by County Extension Agent Kirby Clayton. 1. Complete the planting of spring flowering bulbs. may be planted as late as early January and still do well if properly refrigerated.

2. Select and plant needed woody landscape plants. 3. Cut mums back once flowers fade to encourage new shoots from the base when growth resumes next spring. 4.

Provide tender plants with protection from the winter cold. 5. Shape hollies and use the prunings for Christmas color. Remember hollies produce berries on old or second year growth. Avoid cutting back too much of the current growth as this is where next berries will be formed.

6. If the November moisture ever dries up, be sure to supply supplemental moisture for newly-planted landscape materials. 7. Select and plant pansies now. They make excellent color in the bulb beds.

8. If necessary to move a woody plant from one place to another be sure to reduce the top growth about one-third to compensate for roots lost in digging. 9. Good time to make that dormant oil spray to control scale. Follow instructions on label to avoid damage to plant.

10. Be sure to stake any large trees or shrubs as soon as they are planted to prevent wind damage. 11. Keep soil in potted poinsettias moist but never extemely wet or overly dry. 12.

Consider using a living Christmas tree this year so it can be recycled to a yard or park. 13. Plant a pyracantha, holly, Japanese persimmon, American beauty berry or other fruited plant so you can have fall and winter color in your yard in future seasons. 14. Be sure to check any wiring you may use in putting up lights or other Christmas decorations.

Remember bare wires can cause fire or serious injury. 15. Watch those aphids! They can build up rapidly on winter annuals. 16. Control camellia petal blight.

Gear off old mulch and other debris under the plant. Spray ground beneath and around the plant with PCNB (Terraclor). Replace the old mulch with a clean new material. Pick all flowers as they fade or any that look diseased. Do not allow spent flowers to fall to the ground.

allow them to accumulate and smother the lawn grass. 18. Order seeds now so you will be ready next month to start spring annuals. 19. Safe Christmas tree stands should have some provision for a water supply for the tree trunk.
