Make Preparations No1u for
The Victory Garden Sho1u

The Victory Garden Harvest Show
is only two weeks away October
2-4D, and most gardeners will need
to start active preparation immedi-
ately SO that their flowers, fruits
and vegetables will be in the best
condition possible. All gardeners are
urged to exhibit, if the show is to
be the success it should and can be,
and We will all have to do our part.
1t is too late to do much about
growing flowers for the show, but
we can give considerable attention
to the disbudding, selection and
proper handling of the flowers which
we do have. BY taking a few simple
steps we can insure having them
IN the proper condition.
Show schedules indicate whether
or not single flower (disbudded) or
a spray mot disbudded) is to be
entered. At the Victory Garden
Harvest Show chrysanthemums need
not be disbudded. except for the
exhibition types. Most other fiow-
ers should be disbudded. especially
dahlias and roses.

green stems further down in the

There are several kinds Of wan

dule is a brand-new variety Of wan
dering-jew. It's foliage is vivid
red, bordered with a trace of soft
green on the upper side. This type
is graceful and effective when grow
ing in low bowl.
Wandering jew develops little
fringy white roots which are inter-
esting to watch as they twine about
when growing in glass container.
A green or lavender container Is
especially attractive for them
Another favorite is the English
or common ivy. Hedera helix. 1t
also grows much better in water
than in soil when grown indoors.
The new tender growth may be
rooted now, but for later starting
it Is better to use the older green
growth. Ground ivy and Kenil-
worth ivy make effective arrange
ments of small leaf growth for in
door decoration. The Pittsburgh
variety, with it's tiny, dark-green
leaves sprinkled with white, is most
ornamental. Ivy is more effective
growing in colored glass jars, too, or
bottles of the old prune Juice type.
Philodendron is reliable plant
for growing in water. It is almost
as agreeable as the wandering Jew,
in that it will grow and thrive in

Review Success
Or Failure of
Your Garden
Make Definite Plan
For Neat Year by
Judging Efforts

If there seems to be no pressing
work in the garden during the early
fall days, or if rain keeps you in
doors the time may be spent to
good account in reviewing the sue
cess or failure of each crop, decid-
ing on adding to or eliminating
some of them. or on changing the
type or variety. Make definite
plan for next years garden while
all the problems which arose this
year are still fresh in your men,
ory. Write out notes that will help
you to make next years garden
more successful in every way. With
the cost of living climbing and many
types of food becoming hard to OBJ
tain, well-managed food garden
is sure to pay.
To keep a constant variety of
vegetables ready for use, plan to
make smaller and more frequent
paintings of everything possible.
See which of your crops please the
family's palate most when canned
or preserved or made into pickles

surpluses in these.
Soil that must be used extensively
year after year should be constantly
improved Obtain sufficient winter
rye to SOW the entire garden, and
plant some in each vacant spot as
soon as the crop is removed. About
one and one-half pounds are needed
for each 300 square feet of garden
space. Sow the seed broadcast and
rake it in lightly. If the soil is
very poor add some fertilizer to aid
in producing better growth. If
your soil lacks nitrogen mix some
winter vetch with the rye.
Next spring dig under this green
manure while it is still soft before
it gets to the height of one foot
If allowed to grow too long it will
not decay easily, and is not such a
good source of humus. Finish the
seeding as soon as possible before
heavy freezing weather sets in.

EVergreenS

The chief reason for the failure
of newly planted evergreens to sur
vive the winter Is lack of moisture
late in the season. This is especially
true as applied to broad-leaved ever
greens like rhododendrons and
mountain laurel. 1t is true. also, of
trees and shrubs which have been
long established. They will suffer
if they 60 into the winter without
an abundance of water at their roots.
Therefore, the amateur should sat
urate thoroughly the grounds
around his evergreens with water
up to the time the ground freezes.

Pruning Hedges

In pruning hedges, have the sides
float out from the bottom toward
the top so that the hedges looks
like a letter A with the top cut off.
This allows the light to reach the
bottom branches, as we'll as the top,
so that the plant will hold its foliage
