\'//v7t/?.r On transplanting
It is nearing that timo of the year ’-hen
gardeners uill be1 busy transplanting many
plants to their lastllocation in the mar
ket of family garden. There arc a feu
things to keep in mind to insure best re
sults and for the benofit of those ’.7ho
haven’t done much of this rorlc, hero arc
a for suggestions rhich night help you.
First—Choose plants to be transplanted
v:ith cafe. It never pays to plant the
spindly, frail plants or thoso rith poor
root systems. Select thoso that are not
too largo, but have a healthy appearance '
and arc stocky and roll developed.
Second—Don’t let your plants dry out or
rilt during the transplanting process.
I.eavo their roots in the soil as long as
possible before digging then'out. If you
buy plants fron soncono else, bank damp
soil about the roots find protect them from
the rind and the sun until you can get
thorn in tlioir nor location.
Third--It is a good idea to sot plants
just a little dcopor than they roro in
their original location. Be sure that you
set tho plant •-’roots in damp soil. If you
rater the plants after transplanting,thro\T
dry dirt over the top to prevent cvaporat
tion; Pross tho soil firmly about the roots,
Fourth—Placing a fertilizer around tho
plants at transplanting time is a good i—
doa, but bo very careful not ton get it
too close or too near the roots,Phosphorus
is a good fertilizer to uso since it
important in root formation and grouth.
Nitrogen is also good and is usually put
in fertilizers used for transplanting,
PLANTS S’ 'OTTLD ’r0T Pul : HARDENED TOO ’’’ELL
It is a good idea to harden youg plants
before setting then out in the garden. If
this is properly done, the young plants
rill be much better able to rithstand the
uind and sun ’.Then transplanted.
Spodialists in the garden field tell us
that this can be overdone. If young seed
lings arc exposed to cold temperatures
for long periods of tine, they may receive
a shock from rhich they never can recover.
If is especially bad to cx->oso celery and
cabbage plants to too lou tomneraturds.
This nay cause them to either die or go to
seed early'.
A better nay to hardon these plants is to
cut dom the uatcr supply, keeping just
enough noisturo to keep then from nilting.
this treatment rill not hurt then and rill
prepare then for conditions ~hich they
uill likely encounter in the field. -No
anpunt of hardening can keep tomatoes from
•being killed by frost. A modorato method
of hardening should be used so that, tho
young plants uill be more resistant to
riinds, drying conditions, diseases and
insects.
