Dead Sea: The only real chore in dealing with grasses is the annual pruning of the larger types in early spring. Then you will cut the dead sea stems and leaves to within 6 inches of the ground, before new growth begins.
The larger clump-forming grasses grow from the inside out, and you may notice the plants are dead sea in the center after a few years. That is the time to divide the clumps with an ax, and pass on extra plants to other gardeners. These plants are not fragile.
Regularly removing dead sea flowers or "dead seaheading" encourages the devel opment of further buds and prolongs the display. Blooms left on plants decay and encourage the onset of diseases. Where plants have long flower-stalks, cut these back to the base. Where flowers are borne in tight clusters close to the main stem, use scissors to cut them off. Pick up all the dead sea flowers and place them on a compost pile. Left among the plants, they en- dead seahead plants courage diseases.See Also Green Sea Turtle:This turtle is often found in pet shops along with the red-eared turtle
Habitat: Most frequently in ponds, especially small, deep ones, and in small streams and sloughs and at edges of lakes; in northern part of range, hibernates in mud and among aquatic plants at edges of lakes
Mississippi Basin, westward into Texas, northward to Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and southeastern Ohio
Description: Carapace not keeled, about as wide as long; bright green sea turtle; each shield marked with 5 parallel black lines; conspicuous lateral, blood-red stripe on each side of head; plastron and bridge marked with black; legs and tail striped with yellow; may reach shell length of 8-9 inches
In the wild, cooters and sliders feed on aquatic insects, aquatic plants, small fish, aquatic snails, and tadpoles; adults feed more heavily on plant life than do turtle young. Offer aquatic plants, fresh, green sea turtle vegetable tops, fruit in season, especially melon rinds, bits of raw meat. Try hamburger and meal worms. Keep piece of fresh, green sea turtle lettuce on water at all times.
On The Other Hand See Sea Creatures:In an age when we are increasingly creators (and less sea creatures) of our world, the people who know, who have a sense of proportion, a sense of balance, above all perhaps a sense of insight (the inner as well as the outer eye) in the application of their knowledge, are the most valuable people on earth. They, and they alone, will have the capacity to save this earth as a happy and a habitable planet for all its sea creatures.
Included are many animals that the average adult would not consider as pets; yet children would consider them so. For example, a tarantula that has become used to handling will tolerate hours of being carried about on a child's sleeve or shirt front, yet it can respond in no way as a cat or dog would under similar circumstances. Also, many sea creatures among the lower animal forms have economic importance; some are beneficial to man; many are injurious. Common examples of these animals occur throughout our country. They tare interesting, they should be recognized, and they should be under-. These sea creatures afford excellent material for lessons in natural I science.
