Fertilizer* liquid fertilizer or dry fertilizer is a common question. However, it doesn’t make much difference which form is used as long as you apply the same amount of ’ plant food and know the cost per unit of that plant food. For example, 100 pounds of a dry fertilizer such as 5-10-10 and 100 pounds (about 10 gallons) of a 540-10 liquid fertilizer solution should contain the same amount of actual plaht food - 5 pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds of jphosphorus, and 10 pounds of available potash. All fer tilizer products sold must contain a label giving, the fertilizer values!! When applied at the same time, or at the same stage of growth, both should give equivalent results. The important thing is to evaluate the amount of actual plant food being applied and the cost per pound of that plant food.

She Flowering plants Hybrid tea roses are among the most popular summer flowering plants in this part of the country; however, they do need at tention each week to control leaf diseases and insects. Early June produces the first crop of blooms and the buds look very promising this year. Growers should spray weekly with Benlate or Folpet to control leaf diseases and include either Sevin or Malathion to control the aphids and other insects. Effort should be made to cover the underside of the leaves as well as the top surfaces. Following the first blossom period -some growers will fertilize their plants to encourage new growth and additional blooms later this summer. All fertilizing should be done by early August to permit time for the growth to_ harden before winter.
