Dishwater detergent is a sudsy proposition

DECIDING WHICH automatic
dishwasher detergent to purchase.
untif now, has been a simple choice
between cconomy and spotless
results,

However, with the introduction
of liquid) dishwasher detergent,
many consumers are expressing
confusion over the differences be-

the new liquid format.

In a cost per use comparison,
wheo the same amount of product
is used, automatic dishwasher
detergent powders are slightly
more economical than the new He

quids,

Hoas difficult for

with all of the ericas, pruning can
be kept to the minimum necessary
as they will naturally form dense,
tidy, little shrubs.

Some preferred varieties are:
e.c. Alrosanguinea, dark, ruby red
flowers.
¢.c. C.D. Eason, magenta flowers.
e.c. Cooligan Bridge, long, crect
spikes of vivid purple.
e.c. Eden Valley, soft, lilac-pink
flowers.
e.c. P.S. Patrick, bright purple.
e.c. Rosea, bright pink.
e.c. Startler, bright, gleaming pink
flowers.
e.c. Velvet Night,
blackish-purple flowers.

The erica tetrafix ivbrids start to
bloom about the same time as e.
cinera but will generally carry on

well into the fall, Phinting and care
are similar though pruning is regu-
larly required after blooming.

et. Hookstone Pink, rose pink.
et. Ken Underwood, deep, salmon
pink.

et. Pink Glow, bright magenta-
pink flowers.

The last group to mention has
one of my personal favorites in it;
these are the erica vagans. They
are neat, self-maintaining plants
with bright, rich green foliage and
dense habits. They begin blooming
in Jate summer and can continue
until frost — e.v. Grandiflora
(white flowers) and e.v. Mrs. D.F.
Maxwell (cerise pink flowers) are
my favorite.

Try to brighten up your sum-
mers with these beautiful plants
you won't be disappointed.
