HAMILTON Clemson University Extension Information Specialist Plenty of cut flowers for your house may be provided by four flowers commonly grown in South Carolina. Assistant Professor R. R. Rothenberget 4 , who ( teaches floriculture at Clemson Uni versity, says asters, mari golds, snapdragons, and zin nias are year-to-year stand bys for most local home makers. “A well-tended plot no big ger than a single carport will usually provide a sur prisingly large number of flowers from midsummer un til frost,” he said. : Two varieties of asters which have performed well in Clemson trial gardens are Burpee Ideal — Cameo, and Burpee Ideal—Cerise. These varieties have shown some resistance to stem rot, a disease which has caused trouble in many S. C. gar dens. Another disease, yel lows, may be controlled by spraying the asters 1 h DDT. Yellows is a virufe dis ease transmitted by /e hoppers. ‘‘But with these adversities conquered, you have in the aster a very good, long- lasting cut flower,” Rothen- berger said. Marigolds are perhaps the most easily grown flowers. They are not subject to seri ous insect and disease at tacks. Th^y do well under a wide range of soils and tem peratures. Marigolds will grow from seeds planted directly out doors after the soil warms. The Climax strains of mari gold as well as varieties in the Gold Coin series make good cut flowers. Marigold colors are usually limited to the yellow shades, orange shades, bronze, and gold combinations. For those wbb object to the odor of maefgolds, the new odorless varieties are sug gested. One of these is Sun spot, a /arge double orange. Snapdragons should be started indoors in early spring and/set outside in April and y.

WORLD'S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Read Romans 5:6-11 Christ died for our sins. (I Corinthians 15:3) A man was talking about another who had wronged him: ‘‘Well he hurt me and I’m going to make him pay!” Have we all not been at moments like this man. When someone injures us, our first reaction is to get even. It hurts God when man spurns His love and ignores His will, but God is forgiving. Forgiveness means that one is willing to take all of the pain caused by another into his owrt heart. If I forgive a wrong done to me, it means that I take the hurt without de manding that the offender pay a share, too. This is what Jesus did on the cross. He took the burden of man’s sin into His own heart. ‘‘Christ died for our sins.” There is redemptive power in this. If God were only a judge, our guilt would bring us to hate Him for exacting the penalty of justice. But our sin causes Him anguish. We are confronted by this undeserved, suffering love, and are thereby led into repentance and reconciliation. PRAYER O God, forgive us for the careless thought that our sin causes pain only to ourselves. Draw us near to the cross that we may be aware of the suffering which our sin causes Thy searching love. In Jesus’ name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Docs my life bring pain or joy to the infinite God? Robert L. Smith (Iowa) you who may be getting a latu_&Lart. r Golden ‘ Rocket, Redstone Rocket, Rose Rocket, White Rocket, Caricia Orange Bronze, and Yellow and White Ruffles are some of the fav orite snapdragons. Snapdragons are used to provide line in flower ar rangements. Zinnias can be seeded di rectly outdoors. They grow best in full sun and will thrive in many soil types. Sown out doors by June 1, they will usually flower by late July. Zinnias are very suscepti ble to powdery mildew, a white powdery growth found on the leaves of infected plants. As soon as you notice this fungus on the leaves, you should take measures to con trol the disease. Spraying with wettable sul fur,; karathane, or Acti-dione is suggested for con trolling powdery mildew. The sprays should be repeated as necessary. The varietis of zinnia bes* for cut flowers are Red Rid ing Hood, Pink Buttons, Fan- tasy-Rosalie, Old Mexico, and Persian Carpet, and the State Fair series.
