HINTS ON CLEANING UP.

When cleaning up the grounds this
spring do not neglect to burn at once
all dead leaves and rubbish. These are
terminating places for insects Of all
kinds If allowed to rot. The burned
rubbish makes good fertilizer and win
not bring in more eggs Of worm and in
sect for the gardens future destruc-
ton
If you have one of the long back
yards with tall board fence as back
ground, cover it quickly with vines so
that the garden has a wall OF green.
If you have no time <or flowers keep
the grass short and velvety and with
the vine covered wall the yard w...l be
beautiful with out single blossom. A
few geraniums set about the roots OF
the vines will need no care and make
a brilliant spot in the picture. Moth
Ing for the garden gives more freely
of its poisoning beauty than the old
fashioned scarlet geranium. 1t is in
harmony with almost every surround
ing and has the advantage over al
most all plants that arc bougk. at the
greenhouse of being cheap and easily
propagated from slips.
The nasturtium that is a climber
should find place among the vines,
both for beauty and blossoms. It will
not climb unless you lend 1t a friendly
hand, but IL it Is sometimes twisted
