Benefits Of Rose Foods Compared
EARL ARNSON reports on systemic rose foods offering insect protection beyond one season. In a Marysville test, Nitro Systemic Rose Food protected four roses last year with fewer chewed leaves and less black spot than untreated or non systemic plants, suggesting carryover effects and potential long-term protection despite no fungicide claims. Observations continue to determine how long protection lasts and how it travels through the plant.

Hurricane Barrier Study Would Shield Texas Coast
Army Engineers study a 400 mile hurricane barrier along the Texas coast. If built it would cost over 2 billion and include levees plus navigation locks and pumping stations.
