Road Traffic
In Georgia
Shows Increase
Traffic count figures for
April just released by the
Georgia Department of
Transportation show that
increasing numbers of tra
velers are now on the road.
The reading for an average
day of the month at a typical
counting station was 12,868
vehicles, an increase of three
per cent from April 1976, an
increase of 11.7 per cent from
April 1975 and an increase of
13.8 per cent from April 1974.
The estimated average
dailv traffic for 1977 contin
ues to be revised upward, as
it has each month this year.
The figure now is 12,378,
which is 3.2 per cent above
the 1976 figure and 7.9 per
cent above 1975. It is also
interesting to note that this
year’s projected number is
19.3 per cent more than in
1971.
The flow of traffic on 1-75
and 1-95, the state’s two main
north-south arteries, contin
ued to increase. 1-75 traffic
was up 4.3 per cent from 1976,
and 1-95 showed a 21.9 per
cent gain, since it is nearly
completed now.
Traffic counts are made by
a network of 47 electronic
count stations at strategic
points in the state. These are
linked to a computer in
Atlanta for instant traffic
readings.
Comparing April 1977 with
April 1976, traffic was up in
all categories but one, the
non-interstate urban roads,
which decreased by 0.3 per
cent. The interstate urban
highways showed a 2.8 per
cent increase, the non-inter
state rural roads were up by
5.7 per cent and the interstate
rural roads were up by 7.3
per cent.

ANNUALS AND PERENNIALS
by Patricia Collins
Horticulturalist,
Callaway Gardens
Annuals and perennials -
those seasonal and
multi-seasonal flowers - are
hxestible when planting season
rolls around and our gardens
and patios need a colorful
uplift. With just a little effort
and planning you can have a
spectacular floral display of
beautiful flowers for most of
the year!
When planning your
annual/perennial garden,
consider three things - soil,
light and moisture. Then you
can choose your plants by how
well they adapt to the
particular condition present in
your area.
PREPARING THE SOIL. So
often, in the excitement to get
the garden started, soil
preparation is forgotten. Have
your soil tested by your local
county extension agent for the
soil Ph and for fertilizer
recommendations. For a
successful and hearty garden,
cultivate the beds well, adding
sand and/or organic matter if it
is needed. Many annuals prefer
alkaline soil. Because of the
acidic soil found in many
southern areas, lime must be
added. For quick results use
hydrated lime, otherwise
dolemite is best for long-term
results.
If your soil lacks
phosphorus, then add
superphosphate. This is
essential for flower production.
Before you plant, add some
granular slowly soluable
fertilizer which gives long
lasting results. Later you can
add some liquid, water-soluable
fertilizer to get your new
plants off to a good start.
TIPS ON PLANTING. It is
much more convenient to buy
seedlings which are ready to
transplant, but you are limited
in selection of types, color and
variety available. By growing
your own from seeds you have
a large selection to choose
from. There is also the
satisfaction of growing your
own.
Before you transplant, be
sure the plants are “hardened
off.” This means they should
be placed in a transitional area,
perhaps a porch, before
planted outside. Taking the
plants directly from the
protective environment of a
greenhouse to the extreme heat
and light outside is often
detrimental.
Plant at the same depth of
soil the plants were in while in
the seedling trays. If they are
root-bound, loosen the roots
{before planting.
CHOOSING THE PLANTS.
After you have determined
what type of environment you
are working with, you are
ready to select the plants best
suited to your garden. There
are so many choices!
The best plants are often
varieties which are
disease-resistant. Also, pick
varieties which are
self-branching. These are good
because they do not have to be
pinched to form busy compact
plants. The "Sprinter” and
“Sooner” Geraniums are
self-branching types which
bloom early.
Slower growing or dwarf
varieties have a neat
appearance and do not need to
be stalked. “Floral Carpet”
Snaps produce an attractive
rarmichacl insurance agency
blanket of color, and dwarf
French Marigolds are also nice
compact plants.
You may want to consider
using some tender perennials.
These are plants which we treat
like annuals. Coleus is one of
the mo6t popular of this group.
The solid yellow/green
“Chartreuse” and the
“Carefree” series are popular.
Cupheas are tender
perennials which prove their
excellence for the long
southern summer by blooming
profusely from the small
seedling stage until hard frost.
The most popular Cupheas are
Cigar Plant (Cuphea ignea) and
False Heather (Cuphea
Hyssopifolia).
The ever-blooming Lantanas
are also popular for their mass
of color.
Late-blooming Sages (Salvia)
are attractive additions to the
summer garden, especially for
those who enjoy observing
hummingbirds. Tty Mexican
Bush Sage (Salvai Leucantha),
with its striking purple and
white flower spikes; the
fragrant-leaf Pineapple Sage
(Salvia elegans) with loose
spikes of red flowers and Blue
Sage (Salvia guaranitica) with
medium blue flowers.
WHEN YOU’VE PLANTED.
After planting, mulching is
helpful in controlling weeds
and preventing water loss.
Handweeding and cultivation is
highly recommended for a
weed-free garden, even with
good gardening practices and
use of chemicals. A good
practice is to incorporate
weeding with the
three-to-four-week applications
of granular fertilizer.
Pre-emergent herbicides may
also be used with success. Be
sure to follow label directions.
Pinching helps annuals.
Chrysanthemums and
late-blooming Salvais are
examples of ones which need
successive pinching to insure
bushier plants with more
flowers.
Many plants also benefit
from a more severe pruning or
shearing about midsummer,
just after the first flush of
flowers begins to fade.
Verbenas, Salvia, Splendens,
Nicotianas, Cosmos and Basil
may be treated in this manner
in order to have a striking
second bloom.
Deadheading, removing old
flower heads, prevents seed
formation, thus promoting
more flowers.
Although most of us water
when it is convenient, we
should also consider the plants.
Since water on foliage at night
promotes fungal disease, it is
better to water early in the day
rather than late evening. Some
plant foliage may burn if water
is on the leaves during the
midday sun.
HAVE FUN. When growing
annuals and tender perennials,
remember that you are growing
them for enjoyment. Pleasing
color and attractive plants are
only part of the pleasure. Using
plants with aromatic foliage
and flowers or those which
attract birds or butterflies will
increase your enjoyment
immeasurably. It is also fun to
look for unusual or different
plants which everyone will
envy! (PRN)
