Fall Panicum
DO plant taller flowers
behind shorter ones. It will help
to heighten your garden's ap
pearance. Too many places
hide their beauty.
DON'T overcrowd. Learn
how tall and how wide each
plant will grow and seed ac
cordingly. If you do have to thin
them later, they'll have a fatter
chance of surviving if you cut
back just after the seedlings
have sprouted.
DO use the right fertilizer.
The food that makes your grass
grow greenest may produce an
emic-looking flowers. Green
thumbs agree, fertilizers with a
high percentage of phos
phorous are best for your
blooms.
DON’T plant too deeply. This
slows germination and could
nip growth an the bud. The
seeds should be covered, but not
buried.
DO protect your plants from
pests. The average garden is
crawling with creatures that
feast on your flowers. You
can control more than 120
different kinds by spray
ing Spectracide containing
Diazmon, an all-purpose, non-,
persistent insecticide from
Ciba-Geigy.
DON’T pick your posies in
full bloom Select a cutting just
before it reaches its prime,, and
it will look lovelier longer
DO mass colors rather than
mixing them. A pretty garden
should leave you an impression
of soft-petaled harmony
DON’T ignore these sug
gestions, and your garden can
become a garland, wreathed m
beauty!

About
Home Canning
With the price of food
soaring, many people are
starting to can food at home
again. According to the Food
and Drug Administration,
home canning must be done
cautiously with particular
attention to heat processing -
that is, time and tem
perature, which varies
according to type of food.
Organisms, such as bac
teria, molds, and yeasts, are
present on die food and the
containers. If they are not
destroyed in the canning
process, they may cause
spoilage or result in food
poisoning . . . including
deadly botulism.
.Home canners should be
particularly careful of low
acid foods • such as most
vegetables, meats, poultry
and fish - where the potential
of botulinum toxin
developing is the greatest.
This includes all such food
which are to be sealed in
glass or metal containers.
As a general rule, always
use the pressure-canning
method for low-acid foods,
follow manufacturer’s
directions carefully and
make sure the canner is in
perfect order.
