Leaf Mold Makes Fine
Fertilizer for Garden

The gardener who has good supply
Of old leaves that have been in COM
post heap long enough to decay will
not have to worry about the kind of
fertilizer needed to give his flowers a
quick start. Leaf mold outranks barn
yard manure with most flower growers.
Old leaves that are we'll rotted fur
nish plant food ready for use as soon
as the root system begins to pene-
trate the soil.
In preparing soil for flower boxes
and pots mix the leaf mould with gar
den loan and gritty sand. Sand has
no food value, but 1t keeps the soil
loose and prevents it from packing
and forming crust. With plenty Of
sand the water drains out readily, al
lowing air to enter.
With every gallon of garden loan
and leaf mould use one-half gallon
of clean sand. Pick out ali the sticks,
straws. stones and Jumps of soil. Some
gardeners recommend sitting, while
others say it is not advisable, but in
either case the soil should be pulyer-

with holes bored in the bottom at si1-
inch intervals to provide drainage
For seed raising in the ordinary
window of living room or warm
kitchen these flats may be too wide.
In this case the cigar box is very
convenient seed box Empty cigar
boxes usually can be secured for the
asking at retail tobacco dealers. 1t
is a good plan to reinforce the fasten-
ing of the sides and bottom with a few
fine tacks Of sufficient length to pene-
trate, as they are likely to warp after
the seeds have been planted. This
may also be checked by binding three
or four strands of wire tightly about
the box before the seeds are planted.
Four holes should be bored in the
bottom Of the box for drainage, as in
the flats. While a cigar box does
not hold as much seed as the fiat, it
will grow a comparatively large num-
Der of plants, often all the average
gardener will want, especially toma-
toes, peppers or eggplants.
Where only a few plants are desired
a flower pot is ideal, being built for
drainage and for economy of space.
Also it does not dry out quickly The
ten-inch pots will hold eight plants of
large growing plants like castor beans,
cucumbers, or melons, and the plants
may be allowed to remain until ready
to transplant into the open provided
the seeds are spaced in the pot
when planted SO they will not crowd
for some time after termination.
Panes of glass to cover fats, cigar
boxes and pots are recommended, al
though not essential. The glass pre-
vents too rapid evaporation and con-
trolls the danger of the seeds drying
out. Paper cut to fit or cloths which
may be kept moistened may be used
to cover the seed boxes, watching care
fully until termination begins, when
they should be removed at once. The
seed boxes need not be exposed to
the light until the seedlings begin to
prick through.-National Garden Blu

cabbage plants, which after all, are
nothing more than ordinary cabbage
plants that have been grown in the
open and well hardened to withstand
the cold blasts Of early springtime,
In some places lettuce, spinach and
onions can be properly planted in the
fall and will mature very quickly when
the first warm days of spring appear.
1t is really not safe to plant beans
and other of the more tender crops
until the soil is thoroughly warm and
all danger of frost is past and yet
small packet of seed costs very little
and 1t is worth the hazard of planting
them early.
Every garden Of any size should
have in it a patch of asparagus as the
tender shoots of this permanent vege-
table are among the first of the green
growth that appears in the spring.

who are shipping through Washing
ton distributors. Without the brok-
erage deduction the association will
be without funds to operate, it is
declared.
Although the association is well
organized in Frederick County, it
does not by any means control the
entire milk production of the county
Some dissatisfaction has developed
among members, who have signed
association contracts, relative to the
deduction of brokerage. Their con-
tention is that dairymen not members
of the association and not under con-
tract to pay brokerage, receive checks
in full, and are enjoying a financial
advantage which is not given the
association. The brokerage charge
of the association is 10 per cent of
the monthly check, collected by the
distributor, and paid to the associa-
tion treasurer.
