Week by Week

End of April caiis for more
active planting. With the ar-
riyal of rather warmer weather,
it is essential that one should
make a further sowing of ali
kinds of vegetables, The weath-
er during the past weeks, al-
though there have been some
nice days, the nights have peer.
cold, and the giound in myst
parts also has not had much
chance to warm up This cau
be accounted for in what seem:
to be such very slow growtl
jof veget 5, and TI find that
with many fetes, such 13
carrots, parsnip?, onions and
beets, seeds th. have been
sown some weeks have not
shown up.

However, it is no use waiting
for them to show up before
{sowing a second batch, but get
a few rows of each of these
to follow on. Peas and broad
jbeans are not doing so badly, |
|for they are cool weather in-|
dividuals, Make a second}
planting of broad beans, and a|
second, third, and even a fourth
sowing of peas, being sure to |
use different varieties with dif-}
ferent maturing habits, that is, |
using early, medium and tate |
varieties, for you do not want
tnem all to come into produc- |
tion at one time. I prefer
to make a second sowing as
soon as I see the first just show
ing out of the ground, and a
third when the second crop is
emerging. But don’t leave your |
last sowing too late in the sea-|
son, for, as I said before, peas|
are a cool weather crop and|
will do no good when Planted |
in the heat of summer. |

GLADS ARE |
THIRSTY SUBJECTS

It is often a problem to decide
where the best place is to plant
gladiolus bulbs. They make a
wonderful show when they are |
in bloom, but when that is
over they just look a mess. The
foliage can't be cut down after |
they have finished flower:
for like all bulbous plants, that
is the time. when all the}
strength and nourishment of
the foliage goes down to the
developing of the bulb. They
may be planted among other
tall growing herbaceous plants.
where the foliage of these will
hide the untidy glad foliage to
some extent, but it will never
do to plant a bed of them
alone. Many gardeners will att
vise you to plant them in rows
in the yegetable garden, where
they can be cultivated along
with the other vegetables
when the spikes are cut,
plants can go on functioning in
their natural order, and being
out of the way, will hardly be!
noticed.
Glads are very thirsty sub-|
jects and need lots of water |
throughout their growing sea-
son. They should be grown in
rather light and well drained
soil, For these reasons they
are best grown in trenches.
This is where the vegetable gar-
den suggestion fits the bill

Growing them in trenches
makes a big difference when
you have to water and when
water restrictions are in force
and you cannot use the hose, it
is a simple matter to fill the
trenches with a bucket; the wat-
er goes straight to the roots
instead of wasting in the al-
leys between. |

Another advantage in plant-
ing in trenches, is in saving the
laborious task of staking each
individual plant’ With modern
glad yar growing so tall
and when the flower spikes are
fully developed, the plants get
top heavy and usually require
staking. But with the trench
system, when the plants get ov-
er a foot high some of the soil
outside the trench can
Jed up to the plants, thus elim-
inating all this staking

Take out a trench about 10
inches wide and eight inches
deep, heaping up the soil on
each side of the trench, This
will be handy when the time
comes to fill in when the plants
get tall, Place a two-inch Iny:
er of peat moa in the bottom
of the trench and on to this
sprinkle some hone moal, (about
a cupful to the running yard),
Mix these thoroughly with soil
in the trench, using o pronged
cultivator hoe. Do not use
manure or fertilizer, both of
which the gladiolus dislikes

row in the trench, setting them
about five inches apart, press-
ing them firmly in the loose
soil. Cover them with eB)
inches of soil which will be suf-
ficient for a start, If you fig-
ure it out, your planted trench
is now three inches deep, suf-
ficient to take the water with-

THRIPS are the worst enem-|
jes of the glads. Consequently |
it has been the practice of glad-|
jolus growers to use a liqucd|
dip before planting This is)
a messy job for the aye }
gardener, and a satisfac! |
treatment is to dust the bulbs
before planting.

Dusts are available which
will not only kill the thrips
but act as a fungicide as we
The best is a dust which cu

tomato dust or potato dust may
be used as a substitute and will]

Place the bulbs in a paper bag
and add some of the dust and|
shake them up n the bag, But
be careful not to put in any
bulbs which have already |
sprouted; these will have to be
dusted separately.
