j. Morton Franklin, supervisor,
says:
When the leaves of the maple
and oak trees have reached about
the size of a half dollar 1t will be
time to plant snap beans, sweet corn
and okra. The time for planting
lima beans, cucumbers and squashes
or setting out tomato plants is q
week or 10 days after this. In pro-
tected gardens, especially those in
the thickly settled areas Of the city,
the first group can be tried during
the coming week II the gardener
wishes to take q chance. With the
more tender ones in the second
group, nothing will be gained by
early planting, and there is much
probability that seed or plants Of
these vegetables will be lost If put
out before the first week in May:
Arrangements should be made
ahead Of time for the protection Of
the vegetables in the garden from
insects. Among the first Of these to
make their appearance are flea bee
ties, which affect a good many
young plants, especially beets and
eggplants. Where the beet tops are
to be used as greens, the young
beets should be busted or sprayed
with Bordeaux mixture or rotenone.
For the eggplant, which are affect
ed later in the season, either Of the
above materials may be used, or an
even more efficient remedy is Cryo-
lite. Cryolite, however, should not be
used on beets or any other ma
terials which are to be used for

the clumps into single fans such
as the commercial growers sell. A
double or even a triple fan Is small
enough. Inspect the rhizomes (the
large fieshy roots) for signs Of the
iris borer-this large worm leaves
a good-sized hole as it tunnels
through. Remove and kill the borers
and dust the cut surfaces with sui
phur or bordeaux powder. In re-
planting it is well to push the small
feeding root deeply down into the
soil and it does not hurt to cover
the rhizome with soil. 1t will soon
wash away leaving the rhizome ex-
posed to the sun--the natural con-
dition. Cut the foliage back a half or
two-thirds to reduce the leaf surface.
(This should be done only when
transplanting.) The bloom the sea-
son following transplanting is usu-
ally scant, and, for this reason it Is
desirable to ift and divide one third
of the iris bed each year.
Weeds and grass should be kept
out OF the iris beds as they suffer
from the competition. .

Need Care
Be sure that you--

De sure LnaC YOU
Water plants properly. Keep soil
moist, but do not overwater. Over
watering Is a common fault during
the short dark days of winter.
Keep leaves Of plants free Of dust
and dirt. You may wash smooth
leaved plants, brush those with
hairy, fuzzy leaves.
Turn plants regularly 50 all sides
receive equal light. This treatment
will produce q we'll formed, SYM
metrical plant.
Remove all dead or damaged
leaves. Good sanitation reduces the
danger from disease and insects.
Feed your plants with q complete
balanced plant food. Either powder
or tablet form may be used, but the
tablet form is much more con-
venient. Feed sparingly during
short dark days of winter, when
lplants are not making much growth.
Air the room daily, but do not
allow drafts to come in direct con-
tact with plants.
Keep the air moist. Suggested
methods: Pans of water on radiators
or other types of humidifiers;
troughs filed with gravel, partly
filled with water, so that pots will
set on gravel without allowing roots
Of plants to rest in water.
Keep the temperature moderate.
Plants thrive best in a temperature
below 70 degrees.

Conserve Seed

Seedsmen tell US that while there
is no shortage Of seed, yet it would
be well for every gardener to SOW
seeds carefully and no thicker than
necessary.
Most people sow too thickly, and
this not only results in a waste Of
seed, but it reduces yield.
Sow only a little thicker than the
stand you want, and If you err either
way, it is better to sow too thin
than too thick.
This practice will reduce time re-
quired In thinning after plants are
up. and you will have better quality
vegetables.
