Lawn Outlook Since there will most likely be continued drought this summer, lawnsmen would be wise to plan for it now. Without consistent rainfall or regular irrigation from a sprinkler system or hose, a lawn will naturally go dormant. It will turn the color of a hayfield being dried for cutting - not the usual velvet green carpet. Once a normal rainfall pattern resumes again in fall - hopefully- the lawn will green up and grow.

Worth Reading Although it's a busy time outdoors, several important new books should be mentioned because they are about plant choices. ''Plants That Merit Attention'' is the culmination of a three- year task taken on by the horticultural committee of The Garden Club of America. Edited by Janet M. Poor, the book brings to the forefront many little known trees with superior characteristics. This volume I is not based on the opinions of club members, but the recommendations of hundreds - horticulturists, botanists, taxonomists, dendrologists, nurserymen and landscape architects who responded to the committee's questionnaires and supported its desire to preserve diversity in the horticultural world. (Two more Volumes are on the committee's agenda: shrubs and herbaceous material). AROUND THE GARDEN
