ORCHARD AND GARDEN

See that enough good soil is in the
cellar or basement for starting vege-
table and flower seeds early next
spring.
Mulch all newly set shrubbery or
trees now. Three or four inches Il
mulch may also be put on the tulip
bed.
Go over the root crops and cabbage
in the cellar and pick out any that
many be decaying. Cabbage decay
especially is dangerous in the house.
Cover roses with straw or hay and
then put a board or heavy paper roof
over them to prevent the hay or foli-
age getting wet at any time in the
winter.
Plants need moisture in the air as
much as human beings. For their
good, if you won't do it for yourself,
keep moisture in the air by open pans
or some other means.
Keep house plants clean. If you
would have them grow at their best,
wash them off or slip them in soapy
water once a week or so then wash
them with clean water.
