Take Step against Disappointment Are you looking forward to having large, beautiful peonies In your garden for Memorial Day?, If bo, there are some things that must be done to avoid a disappointment. Each year blight atta&s pe onies which affects buds, stems and leaves. Young shoots in all stages of growth, up to and In cluding the buds, may suddenly wilt and fall over. Careful examination reveals a soft, brown to black rot of the stem that may extend down to, and In some Instances below, the surface of the soil, says John Welhing, University of Nebraska Extension plant pathologist. Infected small buds stop growth and turn black. Older buds turn brown and fail to open and often the petals become watery and matted. The stalk for several inches below Infected flowers is usually killed. Leaves are attacked later than other parts of the plant. This damaging blight is caused by a fungus which lives from one season to the next on old diseased foliage. Thus con trol should begin with a thor ough clean-up of the old stems, leaves and other plant debris In the fall. In the spring any wilted or rot ted shoots should be destroyed as soon as detected. The new shoots should be sprayed as they come through the ground. Here are the recommended mater ials: Captan 2 tablespoons per gallon. Zlncb 2 tablespoons per gallon. Ferbam 2 tablespoons per gallon. Manzate 1 tablespoon per gallon. Copper containing fungicide such as bordeaux mixture use at rate recommended by the manufacturer. Welhing suggests spraying pe onies every two weeks until near blossoming. He suggests adding a regular household detergent to the spray solution at the rate of 1 teaspoonful per gallon if a wet ting agent has not already been Incorporated In the a packaged material. If you plan to grow flowers and vegetables, treat the seeds with a fungicide to protect them from seed rot and seedling blight disease. These diseases can be particularly severe If the weather turns cold and wet, Welhing points out. Flower and garden vegetable seeds may be treated with thi ram or captan. Some compa nies are now selling their garden fungicides in small packages ex pressly for garden secdlngs. In addition, many of the seed com panies pre-treat seeds before packaging. iiiiiranp pi WIlLltE 3 YOUR HEALTH IS COKCEIHIED ...only the BEST is good enough...and fillling prescriptions IS WHAT WE DO BEST.
