Tri1Ow from Dreer's, Philadelphia Don't burn any leaves-except it may be the first, whose fall has been has, tened by insects and disease. It is nothing less than sin to burn the clean, healthy leaves that are Natures aliment for the soil and future growth l Gather them in pits or wire inclOsures 1 and let them decay for the compost pile. Don't prune schrubs, save just K after blooming; the new blossomins shoots will then form for another spring; don't let these be cut away Don't pile manure around roses anC other hardy plants, in the fall, to stim ulate untimely growth and make warm caverns for moisture to mel down through; don't coddle and force them; let them alone; they want tC sleep.
