_By HELEN LANG:

I'd like to tell you a little story this week about.a very dear old

gardening friend of ours. Every summer in recent yers he has been

plagued with some sort of itching that nearly drives him:mad. He
adores his garden but the sunshine:-makes him even itchier, but he
will persist in going out in it, so this past hot summer he has ‘been
enduring the agonies of the damned.

He:told his wife he wanted to die, and set about trying to do just.

that, sitting for hours with his’ eyes closed, murmuring softly to

himself, ocasionally groaning, and cursing doctors who so far have»

been able to do nothing to help him. »

I went to see him and was horrified to see the change in this Vital
man. He said rather pathetically, ‘‘Good of you to come, it will
probably be the last time you see me alive,’’ and lay back in his

chair and closed his eyes.

I said to him, ‘*Tom,. there is just one thing I’d like to ask you.

What do you do with clivia at this time of year? Do you let it die-

back, the way you do amaryllis?”’ ;

His eyes flew open, he sat up. with a jerk and snapped, ‘‘That.

would be the end of the clivia!’’ and for the next five minutes he
gave me astern lecture on the care of this beautiful plant.

; This was no dying man, the spark is still very much there... I just
Wish Tom would write a gardening book, he knows everything
‘anyone could ever ask and grows fantastic flowers and vegetables,

mee of them organically.

“Anyway for those of you new to growing clivia, the answer is to
fertilize it regularly, move it indoors in the fall to a cool spot where

it can’t freeze, and expect glorious flowers next early spring: He ex-..
plained how to propogate clivia through “root division’”’ but let’s

save that for another time.

THE REVIEW

This is just about the right time to give your amaryllis plants their
last good drink of water mixed with some 20-20-20, and then lay
the pots on their sides to dry out until about the last week of Oc-
tober, when you may start them off for flowering at Christmas
time. More on this in October. If you have small amaryllis plants
growing from ‘‘off-sets’’ (today’s strange gardening term) it would
seem to be a sound idea to keep them growing throughout the
whole of. this year, not expecting flowers until a year from this com-
ing Christmas.

**Off-sets’”’ are small bulbs that grow alonseide the parent plant
which may be removed with care and planted in their very soon in
their own pots. — small pots to begin with, since amaryllis bulbs
roots like to be crowded. The off-sets found on the base of elephant
garlic may be planted this fall (October), but will form a single
large bulb next year rather than the multiple corms found ona
more mature garlic, but when you re-plant these the following year
they will make the usual multiple corms.

Had a delightful letter from Mary Earnshaw enclosing the
brochure she writes for ‘‘Dig This’’, that remarkable gardener’s
shop in Bastion Square in Victoria. This store has everything any
gardener could ever dream off owning, and also a good selection of
“territorial. seeds’’ especially. selected. for over-wintering
vegetables, which should go into the garden as soon as you can find
space.

I-find we have to start these seeds i in flats and let them grow there
for a few weeks until one or another bed is emptied, and can be dug
over, fertilized, throughly limed (with hydrated. lime) to contro}

“club root, and then the seedlings planted out.

I can’t begin to tell you the satisfaction we get out of going out
during the winter to pick a few brussel sprouts, pull a few leeks, cut
a cabbage that may be small but tastes so good you wouldn’t
believe it, snip off a few broccoli spears, cut a cauliflower that is
snowy white, pull a parsnip sweetened by the frost, ora turnip so
crisp it crackles when you cut it open.

advocate on ‘‘summer pruning’’ both to keep your trees within the
bounds of your estate and to encourage greater yields of fruit.

He feels proper summer pruning should leave a tree that a bird
could fly through without breaking his neck on a branch. I don’t
mean a vulture for Heaven’s sake, more like a robin in size! He
feels this opening up of the branches allows for free air circulation,
more sunshine penetration, and almost certainly a healthier tree.
