TOMATOES ALSO A GOOD LINE But All hanger of hosts Should Be Paired Before Tender (ruts Are Put in the (;round. • (BY 8 C. JOHNBTON, Vegetable 8perIalist, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Some of our vegetables are very tender and should not be planted until after all danger of frost is over. It mast be remembered that because the soli L ready to receive the plants It is not absolutely necessary that the grower should set the plants out. Potatoes planted out between 24th May and even the first of June will give excellent results. Tomato. may be set out after the 6th of June and good returns expected, as some .ma- sons a severe frost destroys many tomato plants as late as Jane 6th. Vine crops such as cucumber and squash may be planted after all dan- ger of frost is over. POTATOES. Potatoes are one crop which may be planted on land which Is considered to be in a very rough condition. Possibly there is no better crisp to be planted on land wbich has been In sod for a number of years. Medium -sired tubers of pod quality should be secured and they should be cut so that there are at last two eyes in each piece or set. It is a good plan In a small garden to halve the soil prepared fairly well, then cut the seed and commence planting. Furrows miry be made with the hoe about six inches deep and two Leet apart. The sets may be placed twelve inched apart in the bottom of the furrow and should be covered wltb two inches of soil. This will lave the young plant more or lass is a trench. Aa the plants grow the soil will be gradually drag - ed up and the teencb will be filled. It will be necessary to cultivate the soil between the rows so as to keep down weeds, and at the same time soil should be gradually drawn up to the taps la sufficient quantities so that the growing roots will not be 'i exposed to tbe sunlight, which will wase them to turn green and be of interior quality. If an early variety has been planted and a vigorous growth has resulted it 1s poesoble that some may be at to dig in August. By removing some of the soil from printin The Signal would like to fill your next g order. Phone 35 J The foundation\is not the most unportant thing True, you cant have a good barn without a good foundation. but don't forget either that the roof bas to stand most of tl,e punishment. Upon it falls the burden of resisting the destructive influences of weather and changing seasons, Now, the question is "When am I going to find a roof which will meet these conditions?" Certainly not in wooden shingles which have rapidly deteriorated daring the past few years. Not in anything so perishable as wood, nor yet iron, which lets in driving rain, but rather in a permanent mineral composition such as Brantford Roofing. Now, let us look at a section of Brantford Roofing. First, you notice it has a pure, long -fibred felt base. This is thoroughly saturated with a Siler coat of asphalt or mineral pitch. Then it is given another coat. Fiinrlly, the surface is thickly covered with crushed slate. You can imagine what o job rain, snow, fire or heat would have penetrating a roof like that. As for comparing Brantford Nature's Roofing Water- proofing with shingles on the score of permanency, or protection, or appearance, or even ecaoomy. there is no comparison. You put a Brantford Roof of once, and it will last as long as the buildi,,n�g,,e: it will always look well and it will never need repairing, �MW11f mat lea wr eamaswa .Me a ray riser r' vsY love Me •--wadRasdaa Is -shimter !oe h. al...r... of rear bars w haws ewe e« .rtk /Isdti mese women withers eba w .w ebBeatMa Brantford Roofing Company, Limited Brantford, Canada For sale by W.

The tops will die down at the ant frost, but it is not absolutely necessary that they be dug immediately. They ebould, how- ever, be dug before there is any severe frost. TOMATOES. The tomato is one of the most popular vegetables either fresh or In a preserved con- dition. It may be grown quite easily in the backyard, The better practice with tomatoes is to purchase the plants ready for transplanting rather than attempting to grow these plants 1f one hap not had experience In handling a hot -bed. Plants having a large root system are best, and the stock in any case should at least be the size of a lead pencil. The soil should be thoroughly prepared be- fore planting time, possibly a crop of lettuce or radish may be taken from the same, but it 1s always advisable to have plenty, of manure incorpor- ated in the soil.' A shallow bole may be made with tbe common hoe to in- sert the roots of the tomato plant. These roots should be thoroughly watered so that the soil will cling close to the roots when they are set out in the garden. The plant should be set fairly deep and the earth should be firmed around the roots. If the season is dry and hot, water may be poured around the plant In order to facilitate growth. These planta may be set two feet apart if they are to be trained on stakes and kept from covering a large space in the garden. These stakes should be preferably six feet long, two inches wide, and one inch thick. They may be drieen into the soil a few days after the plant has been set out and the plants tied up to the stick with a piece of twine or cotton In such a moaner that the tie will be directly under the leaf. As the plant de- veloper in size In front of each leaf a slender growtb called a side shoot will appear. These must be removed by pressing them out with the thumb when very small. Four or five ties will be necessary to support the plant. As a result of the staking fruits of a superior quality will ripen earlier than those grown on the ground. CELERY Celery may be grown to malty garden soils if they have been heavily dressed with manure. For the backyard gardener It will be mach better if the planta are se- cured ready for setting out about the 14th of May. All the planta should be set on the level from six to eight inches apart In the row and from two feet to thirty Inches be- tween the rows. It will be found necessary to water celery more than say other crop in the garden, and the soil between the rows should be stirred constantly. In the fall when the celery has reaebed sufficient height it will be found necessary to blanch 1t. Poseibty the best me- thod being to stand twelve ural beards agalaat the rows of plants, holding them In position with states a4 each end.
