MAGNOLIA GARDENS OFFERS ADVICE ON DAMAGED AZALEAS AND CAMELLIAS Owners of camellias and azaleas throughout the South have been asking what they can do for their Choice plants which were dam aged in the unprecedented freeze of the Thanksgiving weekend. To the deluge of garden club in quiries, C. Norwood Hasties, Jr., of Magnolia Gardens, Charleston, offers a word of caution: “Do nothing yet. "Everyone wa/ita to do some thing immediately." says Mr. Hastie. "Our office has been swamped with calls for advice; but we have replied: "Wait un til March to apply remedies.” Mr. Hastie, whose garden has been acclaimed "the most beauti ful in the world’’ and whose huge nursery has been a major con tributor to the Sonth Beautiful movement, points out that the damage was caused not so much by the extreme cold as by the time it struck. Never before had such a heavy freeze been record ed so early—with temperatures varying from 3 at Atlanta. 8 At Macon, 12 at Augusta, IS !n Sa vannah and Chaneaton, 18 at Tal lahassee. to 20 at Jacksonville The famed garden expert adds that azaleas and camellias can weather such temperatures later in the winter, after a series of minor frosts and freezes have hardened the new growth. And for such consolation as owners of shabby-appearing plants can eret, they probably will never face another such devastating early freeze. Mr, Hastie. whose world-famous garden is well protected, had only minor losses in Magnolia. But he says: "Corrective measures ought to begin on injured camellias in the early spring. With sharp prun ing shears, remove all dead branches cutting hack along the limb until live hark is encounter ed. Later on—about the middle of July—any branches which do not put out new growth must be removed." “The usual form of injury on azaleas is split bark on the trunk at the ground level. Nicking bark will give a preliminary idea of injury. As long as the skinned bark is bright green, the branch is alive.” MISKELLY WITH FIRESTONE STORE James E.
