I 6 OAKDALE LEADER, Wednesday, February Gardeners' Corner I I la i I 1 jjyfwiBw4 1 i i. so much more color per clump that you'll agree the difference in price is well worth it. Not all perennials are successfully grown and sold this way. Some resent disturbance and are better set out as seedlings. Topping the list is the Delphinium.

Big clumps of Pacific Hybrids will give you two or even three periods of bloom this year. Moreover, they bloom in far greater profusion than do seedlings. To reap maximum benefit of the bloom, plant early. To brighten a shady border, set out mature, ready-to-bloom clumps of giant Polyenthus Primroses. These are real eye-catchers, to be admired for many years.

Many clumps will be large enough for dividing next fall into even more plants. Daylilies are of the easiest culture and excellent for carrying color through the summer. They are at their best in warm areas, but many new varieties have shown increasing adaptability to cooler coastal conditions. Tub planting February is an ideal time to start those indispensable aids to outdoor living the plants in tubs. Come warmer weather, they'll be ready to answer your landscape problems on deck or terrace.

Some gardeners think there is something mysterious about growing plants in tubs. Actually, almost any plant you name can be grown this way for a time. And some are expecially well adapted, staying happy for years on end despite the cramped condition of their roots. Among those that fit this class, the California Association of Nurserymen lists Camellia as one of the finest. Camellias tolerate cramped feet seemingly forever and, while they don't bloom in summer, their flossy foliage is most welcome.

Golden Bamboo has come into its own in this age of tub gardening, that easily keeps it in bounds. Variegated Pittosporums with their interesting branch structures are popular as are Azajeas, dwarf Crepe Myrtles and Gardenias. All the dwarf citrus are excellent in containers, not only for their foliage but for the ornamental effect to their fruit which is of excellent quality. For color through summer, Geraniums and Pelargoniums are ideal. Fuchsias and Clivas are fine for shaded locations and Marguerites are not to be overlooked whatever the conditions.

Carnations The best time to plant carnations is during March and April. The seedlings are available in mixed or individual colors, while rooted cuttings are from special plants that offer unusual shades or striking blends or more than one color in a single flower. The seedling varieties produce small plants, smaller flowers but more fragrance. Carnations are grown much like chrysanthemums. They survive and bloom without attention but respond fabulously to certain' basic growing techniques.

You should stake the plants at an early age to insure straight and upright growth. Ring staking the use of three or four stakes around which string has been wound to form a core or ring in which the plants grow is an excellent solution. Single staking and tying also produce good results. Newer compact varieties like Juliette do not require staking and are well worth trying from that standpoint alone. Pinching is important just as it is with chrysanthemums.

Lateral buds should be pinched off so that energy and growth are channeled into terminal buds. Without pinching, the plants produce myriad small blooms and no big ones. If you pinch out the tops of young plants when they are four to six inches high, multiple trunks will develop, each of which will be topped eventually by one specimen flower, provided you pinch the side buds. Gardener's Checklist 1. Time to prune Fuchsias.

Remember they bloom on new growth, so don't neglect this simple chore. 2. Its not too late to plant fruit trees. Most are still dormant but not for long. 3.

Consult your nurseyman for aphid control. These pesty insects such vital plant juices and weaken the plants. They'll soon be showing up on Roses and other ornamentals. 4. Don't let weeds get any bigger.

Hand pick, hoe or spray but don't let them get established and compete with your garden. 5. Feeding your lawn now will get it off to a healthy start. Use a balanced complete fertilizer. Fertilizer spreaders will aid in even application.

Perennials You can plant field and container-grown perennial transplants that are available at nurseries now. These transplants are mature plants, not seedlings, and therefore the cost runs slightly higher. But you get CATTLEMEN'S MEETING. Bob Gilbert of A.L. Gilbert Company was one of several speakers to address a meeting of area cattlemen Thursday in the Oakdale Grange Hall.

"I am in total support of the Jarvis-Gann tax Initiative. This is the only true hope for tax relief which Californians have had in years. This Initiative will pass, and the next vital step will be to keep the pressure on Sacramento in order to prevent off-setting increases in sales, income and other taxes," he said. Clark reminded reporters that fewer than 178,000 votes separated the two major candidates in the, 1974 Governor's race. "I expect the race ahead between the Democrat and the Republican will be a close one and, therefore, I expect the votes cast for me will determine who the next Governor of California will be," Clark asserted.
