Will help to prolong the flower-

ly to thls care and attention:

muna ill need particular at=
tention in tho way of staking

nd tying, for if they are once
allowed to hang down, it 1s al-
most Impoaaiblo.to get them to
flower on a straight stem),

Dantas will now require con
stant attention algo to tying out
Tateral shoots, removing super
fluous ones, and relaxing Pro-
‘vious thes, Stir the eoll, but not
too deeply, and appy
mulch of Well-rotted manure oF
other litter, Give special atten
tion to seedlings, selecting those
worth preserving, and  throw-
Ing away worthless ones.

Place inverted flower pots,
with a Little dry moss in them,
fon the top of stakes, for a trap
for car-wigs. In the morning
empty them in a bucket of
water.

HOE OFTEN

Keep the hoo busy, stirring]
up the soll lightly, to keep the
ground in a porous condition, |
and to keep the weeds from
getting the upper hand, for
these, too, havo a hablt of grow-
ing rapidly after rain, I find
the most Useful tool to use at
this time of the year is the
4-pronged hoe. Where the weeds |
have got the upper hand, take|
time to pull them out by hand,
before they sced themselves.

‘The lawn will probably need
mowing a little oftener now,
and the verges will certainly
need trimming.

In the vegetable garden, there
will be much work to be done,
keeping the weeds down; pull-
ing up all th old pe: pil-
ing up the old pea-sticks, if
they are worth saving for an-
other year, or else putting them
in a pile for burning in the
Fall; then hoe the ground, and
Fake the weeds up. After a week
of airing and sunning you can
sow a row of prickly spinach,
carrots or turnips.

‘The winter grecns will need
to be hoed often at this time,
and where the land has not
been heavily manured, a little
milorganite fertilizer will prove
benciicial. Where these Brassica
have been planted between rows
of carly potatoes, and the lat-
ter aug up, the soil should be
Grawn up to the greens with
a hee. Watch out for green
caterpillars on these plants.

Keep picking the pods on the
Runner Beans,-and don't leave
any old pods on the vines; this
practice will prolong the crop
‘and ‘encourage young pods to|
form at the top of the vines.
KILL SIDE SHOOTS

‘Tomatoes will require con-
sant attention, keeping young

je shoots pinched out; the

have been stopped one leaf
bove the fourth truss of frult,
‘and young side shoots will per-
sist in breaking out. Don't cut
off the leaves; it is an unneces-
sary practice and injurious to
the vines and fruit, The fruit
will ripen just as well yith the
leaves on.
ONIONS

Break down the tops of those
to help the bulbs to ripen, be-
foro taking them up. When they
have been partly ripened in
this manner, Wift the bulbs and
Jet them lle on the ground in
the un, during the day-time,
faking them in under cover at

night, particularly if it is likely ||

Don't cut back the tops till
noxt spring. The reason for.this
is that, if there is a, severe win-

STRAWBERRIES
Tn the old patch, clean up

voeate cutting off all the old

other method. This Is a good
practice, as it willl get rid of a
lot of insect pests; but these
Ieaves must be raked off the
ground and burnt, before clean-
ing up the ground.
STOP RUNNERS
In the young patch,
plants must be kept grow!
constant cultivation, and) by cut-
ting out all runners, which will
persist in growing. Only leave
a few runners, if any, for next
spring's planting, These can bo
rooted in g-inch pots for better
convenience sake, and cut off
when well rooted, and taken off
the patch and put in a cold
frame or in a sheltered place,
and opt watered, till plant-
ing: time.
‘Only use first shoot from the
parent plant; never use the sec~
‘ond shoot beyond. If you have
‘an‘old patch of strawberries,
Use the runners from these for
future planting, and keep the
young patch free of runners;
this will benefit these plants to
develop more fully.
Never Keep a strawberry
patch after two seasons’ fruit-
ing. Dig them up after this or
plough them under.
