WHAT TO DO NOW
IN PLANNING FOR
CITY BEAUTIFUL
by CHARLOTTE BLACK

People are inclined to think lust be-
cause very few things are blooming at
this season of the year, that it Is use-
less to plant or work the garden. This
idea Is erroneous, because there are
things that bloom during the winter
months; and all work done now will
be more beneficial to the garden than
If it were done in the spring.
In the first place pull up all the an
nuals that have stopped blooming as
they are insightly and will have to be
replanted In the spring anyhow.
Cut off the tops of the perennials, as
this will not only improve the appear
ance of the garden during the winter
months. but will strengthen the roots
OF the plant for It's re-birth In the
spring. This included dalilias, chryan-
themums and others that are blooming
now, but should be cut down after a
killing frost
Cut down all vines. and remove
staples, unused trellises, ETC., that only
tend to disfigure the garden.
Make dressing of leaf mould, we'll
rotted manure and a little sand, and
cover all beds to a depth of about three
inches, leave all winter, and in the
spring all your beds will need will be
a little spading, and they will be in
fine condition for planting. BY being
fertilized all winter the ground is en-
riched to a greater depth. and better
results are obtained than If you wait
until spring to prepare the ground.
Perennials
Plant perennial seed now, and by so
doing you will have your plants ready
by spring. All shrubbery, hedges and
hardy plants should be put in now.
Bulbs
Bulbs are in the market and should
pc planted at once, and they will be a
riot OF color from the first of Febru-
airy until late spring. There is an al
most unlimited selection of bulbs, but
every garden should have tulips, GRO
cuses, jonQuils and buttercups. IL you
do not care for formal beds of these.
they are beautiful planted promiscu-
ously on the lawn.
Flower Boxes and Hanging Baskets
Flower boxes and hanging baskets
are badly In need of attention now. All
a'.n should he pulled up from flow
err boxes, and where there are ferns
they should be re-potted. The mistake
is often made of planting ferns in pots
too large for them, thereby causing all
the strength of the plant to go to the
root instead of making foliage.
DO not leave empty flower boxes out
all winter to detract from your place
These can be as beautiful in winter as
In summer. with fancy shrubbery and
hardy plants. obtainable at a florists
at small cost. They add greatly to the
appearance of your place and besides
VIII be ready in place when you want
them in spring.
