GARDEN NOTES
(WaaE nf nri1 OEl

BY NJ. A. C. Horticultural Dept.
Early cabbage plants should be in
the garden now. If necessary to
purchase plants, Early Jersey Wake
field is a good variety.
A small tarred felt disk placed on
the ground around the stem of each
plant will help control the cabbage
maggot.
Early potatoes are being plant
ed on warm sandy soils. Irish Cob
bles and Early Ohio are excellent
varieties to grow in Michigan.
For potato scab, soak the tubers
80 minutes in a solution Of Formalin
Il pint to 30 gallons of water). This
should be done before the potatoes
are cut.
This is a good time to divide the
reset perennial Towering plants such
as larkspurs and phlox. These often
do better if the clumps are divided
every three or your years.
strawberry Shortcake in October
You can have it if you set everbear-
ing strawberry plants now. We
have found the Superb one Of the
best varieties of this type.
Better tomato plants are secured
by giving them plenty off space in
which to grow. Remove the plants
from the seed boxes and transplant
them at least two inches apart in
flats or shallow boxes.
