fret. To Se Tough
One has to be tough or at least
firm when it comes to thinning and
some other jobs about the garden.
Nature is much too generous and
if every seed that sprouted were
allotved to grow, things would get
le a terrible mess. Plants would
be crowded unmercifully, would
become weak an fi spindly, a prey
to the first insects or even a good
breeze. Everything will do much
better if there is plenty of room
to develop. Newly transplanted
lowers, vegetables , and nursery
stock will become sturdier and
much better plants if they are
• pinched back. In all bedding
plants, things like petunias, asters,
tomatoes, and such that come in
flats or boxes, all flower buds and
bloom should be, removed when
transplanting takes place.
In almost every case where
plants are started from seed and
especially tiny seed, like lettuce
or alyssum or poppies; they must
be thinned later. In doing this
naturally we pull out the poorer
specimens first but in any case we
must leave plenty of room for full
development. If we are afraid of
later damage from bugs or cut-
worms perhaps we will leave twice
as many plants as at first, then
later on we remove every other
tine. In certain vegetables like
beets and carrots, too, we leave
the plants "about an inch or so
apart at first, then use later thin-
nings for our first meals. When
thinned properly the plants left.
will grow more quickly, more
sturdily and should be healthier.
Thinning is not always confined
,to seedlings. The extra big and
'fine blooms you usually see in
the flower shows are often the
result of thinning. Only in this
case it will be the flower buds that
are removed. Instead of letting
every single rose, peony, or dahlia
develop, the professionals nip off
about fifty per cent or more of
the buds so that those that are
left will be finer and bigger. The
same thing is done with fruit like
apples, plums and peaches for
big prime results.
Holiday Cara
Just before going on holidays it
is an excellent plan to go over
flower and vegetable gardens light-
ly with a cultivator then, if pos-
sible, mulch with grass clippings
or similar material to conserve the
moisture. If necessary and pos-
sible one should water thoroughly
the night before this final pre -
holiday cultivation.
Keep Planting
For a great many of the com-
mon vegetables one can and should
continue planting at two week in-
tervals right up to the first or sec-
ond week in July. Beans, corn,
carrots, beets, lettuce and other

quick growing types are in this
class. By spreading out in this
way we spread out the harvest and
increase by many times the yield
from the average garden. We can
further spread out by using early,
medium and late varieties. With
flowers, too, the season of bloom
can be extended by the same
method.
Transplanting
In transplanting some extra
watering is almost vital. In this
business it is important to take as
much soil with the plant or shrub
as possible so that the fine roots
are not broken or disturbed. Then
the roots must be covered firmly
with good, fine soil and dampened
down with water.. If . the sun is
hot it is good to shade for a few
hours. Better still, transplant in
the cool evening.
