ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES
Univ 900


Usually at this time Of year sweet
peas require plenty of water.
A new strawberry bed may be set
late this month or early next, if the
weather is not too dry.
One of the best all-year plants for
the hardy border is the hardy carna-
ton. 1t requires little attention.
AS fast as the flowers of shrubs and
perennials fade remove them and let
the strength that would go into the
seed go into the foliage.
There are few flowers that will stand
poor soil and lack Of attention better
than nasturtiums. They come in a
variety of colors in flower and foliage
now.
When watering the lawn, shrubs, or
plants. do thorough job. Be sure that
the soil is moist clear to the root tips.
Then don't water again till the plants
need waer.
Celery may be blanched (whitened)
by leaving dirt up around the stalks
or by placing boards along the rows.
Sometimes drain tiles are set over each
plant to advantage. There are also
several kinds of patent paper or wood
bleachers.
Most perennials may be sown now in
pots or boxes or in the open ground
seed bed. Transplant, as soon as large
enough. to flats or beds. They should
be protected by cold frame over win
ter and set in the permanent beds in
the spring.-LeRoy Cady, Associate
Hortienlturist, University Farm, st.
