Crape Myrtle
B> MRS. JONH W. SPENCKR
The crape myrtle is one of tli.
plants that is adapted to all ic
gions of the south. It cannot l
over-emphasized as a plant to lend
color to the landscape all through
the summer iiionths. It is called
"the flower of 101 days" by tin
Japanese. No other plant will furn-
ish so much beauty for so long
a time with so little work.
It is easily raised from seed,
the young plants blooming tin-
first "summer; also it may be giown
from cuttings of ripe wood. It can
be grown as a small tree for street
drive, or highways, as well as i
background plant for the hom<
yard. The plants may be pruned
yearly for the shrub effect as it
"flowers on new wood. If you want
the plants 0 to 12 feet or higher,
cut to a single stem and keep
side growth pruned away. Fol-
lower shrubs, cut back each stem
to within 8 inches of the ground
and keep side growth pruned away.
When setting new plants, cut bin k
to '! or 8 inches above the ground.
An application of well-rotted barn
yard fertilizer is very good. If you
use commercial fertilizer, apply
about 3'cups or 5-10-5 or 4-12-4 to
a large plant. Water well to soak
fertilizer into the ground. The
blooming period can be extended
into late fall by cutting away fad-
ed flowers.
Crape Myrtle requires no spray
ing or dusting in many area-.
However a spraying or dusting
with sulphur once or twice during
the blooming season is a good pi.
caution. Aphids, if abundant, may
cause defoliation; also the honey
dew that they secret supports tin-
sooty mold fungus which gives tin-
leaves a black, siuutty appearance.
Spray with nicotine sulphate m
other contact insecticides to con-
trol both troubles.
There is a program on to "I'lanl
Texas." It is a part of a nation
wide program designed to make
America more beautiful and fru't
ful. Taken to a city level, it mean-
making it more attractive to tin
(H'oplt* who live there and the pen
(le who pass through. So let tr-
ail get a "Plant your city" niovi
