His face was not to be forgotten, it gave the impression of fire behind bars: A cut, hard face with a tooth-brush moustache, broad cheek-bones, strong-growing dark slightly-grizzled hair, and those steel-bright flickering eyes. ❋ Unknown (2004)
The above is a combination of the single cane and bow system, and the horizontal arm training, which I first tried on the Concord from sheer necessity; when the results pleased me so much that I have adopted it with all strong-growing varieties. ❋ George Husmann (N/A)
This is the case even with dwarf-growing kinds, but with strong-growing varieties, such as the Lady's Finger, the growth is so excessive that the wonder is, how the soil can support it. ❋ Albert H. Benson (N/A)
The bulbs may be divided every three years with advantage, and may be usefully planted in lines in front of shrubs, or mixed with other strong-growing flowers, such as alkanets, lupins, and foxgloves. ❋ John Wood (N/A)
-- This strong-growing creeping perennial plant is not particular as to soil so long as it can enjoy plenty of sunshine. ❋ Alfred Pink (N/A)
The pots should be well drained-about one-fifth of their depth filled with drainage when intended for large, strong-growing kinds, and one-third for the smaller ones, such as Mamillarias. ❋ W. Watson (N/A)
The whole genus enjoys loam, but these strong-growing hybrids have a mass of long hungry roots, and, as already hinted, if they are well fed with manure they pay back with interest. ❋ John Wood (N/A)
A comparatively strong-growing, but not tall variety. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)
A strong-growing, hardy sort, from two to three feet high. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)
As regards very strong-growing plants which will need keeping within bounds, the operation of cutting them back requires the very greatest care, and our readers should get a practical gardener, if possible, to point out those which need trimming, and those to be left alone. ❋ Various (N/A)
There was one strong-growing black × Persian hybrid that I am sure of. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
This is propagated by layers, or by grafting on some strong-growing kind. ❋ Alfred Pink (N/A)
Geraniums may be grafted successfully; the short growers, like Mrs. Pollock, Mountain of Snow, and Happy Thought, can be top-grafted on to the strong-growing kinds, like Gen. Grant, Madam Lemoine, and other strong-growers. ❋ James Sheehan (N/A)
By the process of uniting strong-growing trees to those of a weaker nature their exuberance is checked, and weaker ones are improved by being worked on those of ❋ Alfred Pink (N/A)
They often place the rows of strong-growing varieties four feet or more apart, and allow a space of three and a half feet for the more moderate growers. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
The Concord, Herbemont, Norton's Virginia, and other strong-growing varieties, I treat in the following manner: When the young shoot has reached the second wire I pinch off its leader. ❋ George Husmann (N/A)
A tall, strong-growing, erect sort; leaf-stems deeply furrowed, sometimes a little hollow; leaves large, deep-green, with coarse, obtuse serratures. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)
A rather light, rich loam is most suitable for strong-growing plants; peat for slow-growing, hard-wooded ones, like ❋ Alfred Pink (N/A)
It is, however, not a strong-growing tree and is somewhat uncertain in maturing its fruit, which is a bright, clear red of distinctive flavor. ❋ Unknown (1930)
Howell: A little later than the foregoing; large, bright yellow, strong-growing tree and big bearer. ❋ Unknown (1930)
