Sun Burns Begonians Tomatoes need Sun* Using these few simple rules' will help make you a first class gardener, according to John Bradshaw's Lawn and Garden Guide. Mr. Bradshaw is one of Canada's outstanding horticul- turists and is well known through his radio and television programs. IHe prepared the easily followed guide for Canadian Industries Limited and this' year-round guide is available free from CIL lawn and garden products dealers. Plants have six basic needs, light, soil, water, food, proper temperature, and air. If you can supply them, your plants will flourish, but ignore any one, and the results can be disastrous. "AIl garden plants need light. But a begonia wil humn Up in direct sun, and a tornato will refuse to fruit in the shade," Mr. Bradshaw says. The shade chart in the Lawn and Garden Guide show where to put the various plants. "Your sou] may be sand and dry too fast. Or heavv clay, which gets waterlogged. Howcan you fix it?" Mr. Bradshaw asks in the guide. "Any soit can be irnproved at once by adding humus (the scientific nanie for rotted organic matter). Humus can be addcd as compost, peat-rnoss, leaf-mold, coropostcd manure, discarded mushroom manure. It opens LI cday soils, makes sandy soil hiold water." "Compost is cheapcst and best. You can make your own.I "You should put a 2-inch thick layer of compost on Al tlower and vegetable beds every sprîng without fait. Mix WHITBYý FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1974, PAGE 3 it into the soit to a depth of six inches. Aeration and drainage can be improved immediately in heavy clay soils by working in 'Turface' soit condiioner at 10 lb./l00 square feet." "Your garden 'and lawn should get a good thorough soak once a week. Don't give a daily sprinkle! Sprinkling each day keeps roots near the surface, and they quickly get dried upor burned. Water until the soit is molst to a depth of 6". Check by digging into soit with trowel. "Most garden plants look terrible in poor soil. Many will die. The truth is, they were bred to be fed! Just as farmers fer'tilize their crops frequently, you should feed your garden. Because - ii must, be obvious - the food in the soil gets used up.> This applied to vegetables, trees, shrubs, flowers and lawns. They ait need feeding every year." "For vegetable gardens, I recommend 'CIL Flower & Vegetable Food' or 'CIL Grow-AlI'. 'CIL' Flower & Vege- table Food' is designed for those who want a general pur- pose fertilizer for new lawns, as well as flower and vegetable gardens' "Be good to your garden. Don't feed your plants a bread and water -diet - feed them steak and salad. Then sit back and watch thpm grow!" "Lettuce hates the heat. Corn hates the cold. So plant lettuce and other cool-season crops early so they grow during the cooler weather. Corn, melon and other warm-season crops should be planted when continuous warm weather is in sight." "Plants, like people, hate stuffy stagnant air. So don't çrowd them together. Ask your nurseryman how far to space your plants apart. Soit must be dug over so that air mixes with it. Roots need air too! By adding compost to your soi], you hclp keep the soit open." Your fammii health isyour most important possession. Tiis what OntarloIs do.ng tohelp you protect Uit. Most of us get sick or have an accident at one time or another. And lett to our own resources, serlous illness could often cripple us financially. So the goverment here in Ontario has developed a plan to provide health care for everybody, any time it's needed. That plan is called Ontario Health Insurance Plan - OHIP. (The "H"ý stands for "Health, " not "Hospital.") The Plan is administered by your Ontario government for us, the people of the province, who pay into it regularly so we can benef it when we need it. How does the Ontario Health Insurance Plan work? Like this: First, you applyforcoverage-on a "G roup" basis where you work, or you can pick up an application form at any bank, hospital, or OHIP district office.' Next, you'll pay modest premiums to. cover yourself and your family towards the time when health care is needed. People on welf are, students, and others whose incomes fat! below a certain level, are eligible for assistance in paying their OHIP premiums. No one is excluded for lack of money, but you must apply for such premium assistance. Benefits include: physici ans' services standard ward hospital accommoda- tion - X-rayse laboratory tests'e drugs required in hospital'- operating and delivery rooms'a radiotherapy' chiropractic, osteopathic, and chiropo- dist services'e eye examinations'e occupational therapy s physiotherapy ' speech therapy'e nursing and medical care in nursing homes and homes for the aged e Home Care service* ambulance' certain dental surgery. Payments may cover costs entirely or only in part, depending on the nature of the dlaim. But remember: Membership in the Ontario Health Insurance Plan is not automatic - you have to apply for it. And be sure to carry your identification card or OHIP number at ail times. If you would like more information, visit any OHIP district off ice.
