SOME NOTES IN SEASON

Prune Towering shrubs as soon as
they have finished Towering. The Sc
cret of pruning shrubbery, in nut
shell, is to study the habit of growth
of each plant, and to strive to encour-
age it; not alter it to your views.
Make note of the yellow spots on
the lawn. If the grass is scanty, the
trouble is probably sand or poor soil
The best cure is to dig out the place
and put in some good loan.
Then resod the place. If the grass
is there, but dead the trouble is lack
of moisture.
If the grass on the lawn is growing
fast, two mowings n week, allowing
the clippings to lie where they fall, is
easier than one moving in ten DAYS
or two weeks, followed by a raking to
remove the cut grass.
Gravel roads and walks that refuse
to get solid can be greatly improved
by the judcious use of clay. pulver-
ize the latter, and sprinkle evenly.
Too much clay will make a sticky road
in wet weather, which is far worse
than a soft gravel road.
70 insure thick privet hedge, cut
back three inches every time the
plants make six inches of growth.
Evergreens from the nursery can be
safely transplanted by the end of July.
1t is important to keep the roots moist.

sible.
