HYDRANGEAS

In the spring hydrangeas should
have some branches cut out at the
bottom to give them more compact
and sturdy look. They should occupy
sunny position in the garden and be
protected from the cold winds of au.
tumn. When the buds begin to swell
in the spring cut the branches at the
bottom and the plant will quickly
throw up shoots that will produce large
heads of bloom.
The plants should be watered occa.
sionally with liquid manure.

Ground alfalfa does not make a good

when sand was substituted for alfalfa
meal the deaths dropped to one or two.
