Sustain Growth Throughout: WELL-DRAINED yet moisture-retentive compost is essential for all plants in containers. The planting medium must also be fertile for summer-flowering bedding plants, which need to develop rapidly and sustain growth throughout the summer. Spring bulbs, planted in late summer or the fall, do not need high fertility.
Lateral growth in trees frequently begins later than growth in height, but the period of lateral growth is longer. Rates of lateral growth likewise are low at the outset, increasing after a few weeks and then diminishing. In view of the long annual period of lateral growth in trees, deleterious environmental conditions may exercise a pronounced effect on growth. In the wood of trees of temperate regions, narrow and wide growth rings may be observed, marking years characterized by unfavorable and favorable conditions for growth.
In July 1962 two advisory bodies were created, the National Incomes Commission, designed to determine whether particular wage demands were justified by increased productivity, and the National Economic Development Council, charged ivith recommending proposed structural and social changes to sustain a high rate of economic growth. The government's decision in August 1961 to apply for membership in the European Common Market was also based in large part on a desire to make British industry more competitive.
