Lilies are making their appearance in Garden Center stores in increasing numbers in October. The southern tribes of Easter lilies are now ready for planting. These are hardy in southern gardens and produce large quantities of pure white blooms every spring. Plant them 6 to 8 inches deep in rich, well-drained soil.
Don't forget the beautiful new hybrids. They grow beautifully in our garden and can be had in almost every shade and tone of white, yellow, Orange, pink and red. You can use lilies in bloom from April to August, by the appropriate selection of breeds: Madonna and the other new hybrids, April and may; regales and tigers, June; rubrums and auratums, July; and formosanums, August.
Peonies can be planted in the upper South alone. They are too far from their natural range to be grown with success under Atlanta, Birmingham and Greenwood. Plants in a rich soil which well rotted manure is added. Not plant the Crown or eyes more than 1-1/2 cm below the level of the soil. They will not thrive if you do.
Sweet peas can be planted in the lower South. November is better for the middle and upper South but soils can now be prepared in all sections. Use a trench 6 or 8 cm deep and put a few centimetres of well rotted manure in the soil. Place over the manure, 2 or 3 inches of well prepared garden soil. Do not fill the trough at ground level only later. Then, as the new plants develop, gradually pull in the remainder of the soil to ground level filled. Early varieties must be planted.
Roses appear in stores this month but it is too early to plants. Wait until November or December. Too early a planting caused soft growth that is killed by freezing weather. Instead, use this time to prepare the soil well.
Tender house plants need to be brought inside before cold night temperatures. Sudden temperature fluctuations cause considerable problems.
Fall lawn planting continues through October. Sow for a rye grass lawns embryo transfers on Bermuda at the rate of £ 5 for every 1000 square meters. Double the rate for straight rye grass plantings. In both cases, 100 pounds of pulverized sheep manure or other organic food and 30 to 40 pounds for 6-10-4, 5-10-5 or 6-8-6 per 1000 square meters. Newly installed lawns well watered at all times to insure good germination. Aerate lawns to improve old growth.
