Sclentlflo Tests Have Proved the Methods Illustrated to Be the Best for
Setting Out Plants in the Garden.
Many time-honored gardening
practices have been declared wrong
lately by scientific Investigators de-
termined to find better ways, 11
they can,
And several better ways have
been discovered lor moving plants
from seed boxes, cold Irames and
hot-beds where they have been
started early, to the garden where
they will mature
Paul Work, author ol "Vegetable
Production and Marketing," proles-
sor ol vegetable crops at Cornell
University, was asked to describe
the methods ol transplanting now
considered to be best, as a result
ol research.
’In preparation lor transplant-
ing," he said, "hang a cloth bag
containing plant lood in a bucket
ol water and let It soak overnight.
Use 4 ounces ol a balanced plant
lood 8-10-5 or similar, to each gallon
ol water.
"Make a hole lor the plant and
set It In place. Then pour into the
hole, over the plant roots, % pint
ol starter solution, While the solu-
tion is In the hole, draw in the loose
soil and firm it around the plant.
The solution not only supplies nu-
trients but puddles the soil about
the roots, making very close con-
tact between soil and root and mak-
ing It easy lor the plant to take up
water."
"Can you pack the soil too tight?”
he was asked.
"When starter solution or water
Is used, not much pressure is need-
ed to firm the soil.” he replied.
’When liquid is not used, firm pres-
sure is needed to insure contact,
because water will not cross an air
space between soil and roots. The
danger ol damage by pressing
too hard Is very slight.
"Roots ol plants should not be
pruned, In removing plants Irom
pots, flats or seed beds, care should
be taken to avoid breaking and cur-
tailing the root system. Ordinarily
replacement ol lost roots must take
place belore the plant can grow
very much.
"Rarely should tops ol plants be
pruned, as Bhown by ample re-
search results Pruning removes
part ol the Tactory’ which has
to make the new plant material
(carbohydrate) upon which growth
depends.
"The usual object ol pruning foli-
age Is to curb wilting. The plant
will make its own adjustment to
this, Pruning is likely to take off
more loliage than necessary. Dead
or partly dead issue does no harm,
though wholly dead leaves may be
picked off
"Shading is good practice when
plants are succulent, when soil and
air are dry and when sun Is hot.
But good plants can usually be set
successfully without shade, espe-
cially if water or starter solution
is used or il good contact between
soli and root is established other-
wise. Commercial growers very
rarely provide shade This is a case
lor common sense, judgment and
experience.”
Some ol this advice may contra-
dict rules which you may have
followed, and which in your opinion
worked well. II you have nothing
to complain about in the results
you have been getting with trans-
plants, there is no compelling rea-
son to change. But Mr. Work's
system may be followed with lull
confidence that, up to now, it is
the best advice which agricultural
science has to offer.
