BEGIN YOUR GARDEN NOW.
Weeds May be Destroyed and Good
Mold Prepared.
(The Indianapolis star.)


Now is good time to start prepar-
ing leaf mold for next springs gar
dening. If it is started now it insures
the mold being thoroughly rotted
when you need it. Get strong wood
on box and throw into it every yellow
leaf and faded flower from the garden
or lawn. When about quarter full
cover with common soil to keep the
box sweet. Tea leaves, coffee grounds
and fine ashes may also be added, and
when half and three-parts full add
more earth, SO as to form layers.
When cold weather and frost come the
box should be covered to prevent
leeching. By this process excellent
leaf mold is easily made.
Be sure to cut the weeds in your
garden and flower beds now, and after
they have dried burn them. That will
destroy the seeds and prevent their
coming up next year, and thus save
you vast deal of trouble. The ashes
may be spread over the ground, but
it is unsafe to throw the weeds on the
compost heap, as the seeds of some
plants are as hard to kill as disease
germ.
Flowering bulb plants need especial
attention in the early fall. When
bulbs have floyered4 many people
think the foliage should be cut down
at once, but this is not the case. II
you want the bulbs to flower again
another year, let them die down grad
ually; the leaves can then be pulled
off and not cut.
