Insure Supply of Cut Flowers
Keep Shipping Blooms to Prevent Seed Crop;
Sun and Water Aided by Fertilizers
By w. H. Younomon

will thrive in the ordinary garden
soil provided it is kept moist and
well cultivated. The enriching of
the cut-fiower garden with we'll
rotted manure, compost. or other
forms Of humus will do much to
keep the plants growing vigor-
ously. Because they are vigorous
growers the addition of CONNER
cial fertilizer is recommended for
all except nasturtiums which flow
er most freely when planted in q
poor soil.
Watering is a must II the cut
flower garden is to produce good
quality bloom in profusion. How
ever, this means soaking the soil
to a depth Of 4 to 6 inches once a
week. Frequent shallow watering
is likely to prove more injurious
than beneficial since such q meth
Cd encourages plant roots to grow
towards the surface in search Of
moisture.
Don't Crowd Your Plants.
Good quality bloom should not
be expected from crowded plants.
Each plant needs a definite area
in which to develop. Crowding
does not permit good growth and
the lack of air circulation is apt
to encourage. disease. Space the
rows widely enough apart SO as
to facilitate cultivation and the
cutting of flowers. Some plants.
such as the dahlias need to be
staked to protect them from heavy
rains and wind. The same is lrue
of the taller growing cosmos.
Protection from insects and
diseases Is best taken care of
through the use Of q combination
(complete) dust. Several Of the
cut flowers are attacked by the
japanese beetle and so q dust con-
tanning DDT or . similar insecti-
eide is desirable for effective con-
troll of that pest. Most Of the
combination dusts contain sulphur
which is a good control for mildew,
a common disease Of Zinnias. The
aphids which trouble many flowers
are likely to be especially trouble
some on the nasturtiums. How
ever. a painful Of good soapy dish
water thrown with force is likely
to be as effective as . spray or
dust.

AnnualS for cut flowers Is q
dream that many gardeners fail TO
make come true. Ideally, the cut
flower garden would consist Of a
wide range of colors and sizes Of
flowers. In fact. we should select
the named varieties of each kind
so as to be able to cut for any
color combination desired. But,
such a dream would take larger
area than is usually available. and
we would need seed packets by
the score.
However, we can have cutting
garden without taking too much
space by depending upon mixed
packets. A few named varieties
may be added to insure favorite
colors.
For earliest bloom in the cut
flower garden we will need to start
in the fall and SOW the larkspur,
bachelors button (centaurea) and
Shirley poppies. otherwise they
will be late and not too satisfac-
tory. Also. for early bloom we
might set out" a row Of pansy
plants-this can be done in Octo-
ber. Just about the time we SOW
the seeds Of hardy ANIMALS.
Aim at Long Season Of Bloom.
The number of kinds of flowers
for the cutting garden will de-
pend somewhat on the gardener s
preference. Also, he may not wish
to have a great variety as the
neighbor who enjoys arranging
flowers. Whatever the desires, 1t
will pay to plan for long season
of bloom. But even with this de-
sire we must recognize that few OF
the annual bloom before late May
or early June, unless We start the
plants indoors or buy started
plants.
Most ANIMALS have q long sea-
son of bloom when the flowers are
kept cut. These free-f1owering
plants seem to keep on setting
flower buds until they have pro-
duced a crop Of seed, once this
task is accomplished many of
them lose their vigor and begin to
Wither.
Few ANIMALS will tolerate shade
although many of them delight
in protectior from the hot oftar
noon sun. Most of the ANIMALS
