AZALEA AND CAMELLIA PROPAGATION: To start new azalea or camel lia plants, here are a few sug gestions; June and July is an excellent time for propagating these and many other shrubs from softwood cuttings. Make “slips” or cuttings from new wood, tip growth, about 2 or 4 inches long. Keep the cuttings damp until ready to place in rooting medium. Put mixture of Vz sand and % peat moss to depth of about 6 inches in shallow box or large clay flower pot, place where cuttings can be kept damp and shaded. Strip leaves from lower half of cut tings. Treat end with rooting hormone, if available. Set these new cuttings in root ing box or pot, with a little less than half their length un der soil. Watch cuttings close ly, shade and water when need ed. Roots should develop in a few weeks. Then set rooted cuttings in nursery row or large cans until fall or until large enough to move. DAY LILIES: Day lilies planted in late sum mer, July or August, get a head start for better bloom the next spring. Day lilies supply more beauty with less effort, probab ly, than any other plant and are fast becoming a popular peren nial. When blooms from other perennials are scarce, day li lies are at their peak. Day lilies are nice in the pe rennial border, in front of shrubbery, in rock gardens, on slopes to prevent erosion, on the margin of pools, and along banks of small streams in a naturalistic manner. Day lilies may be used with companion lupine, gladiolus, digitalis (fox gloves), perennial phlox with many years of increasing beau ty. They thrive regardless of weather, and in any part of the county. They grow in any type soil, in full sun or light shade. To plant, dig soil 8 to 10 in ches deep and mix in a fer tilizer high in phosphate. Set 2 to 3 feet apart. Spread out roots, first pruning them to en courage immediate growth. If plants are dried out, soak in water for one-half hour before planting. Plant them shallow, this is most important. Deep planting is often the cause of poor increase. Then firm the soil, and water well. Day lilies are now available in a wide range of colors, co lor patterns, heights and flower Don’t Forget The Insurance In storage, on the road or in water your boat and accessories are subject to fire, theft or loss of some kind.
