Fail Fall is the time for .tour things: Cutting down perennials and uprooting annuals; Clean-. ing up the garden generally; Protecting plants against wind and frost sand planting bulbs and sowing seed. The first two require little comment but they are essential to the health of "the garden. Latterly, most gar- �. $, fi4om; ,spot.on roses and so, all fallen leaves should be 'gathered and burnt now, even to the 'extent of cutting spotted leaves off bushes. ' The woodystem.s of peren- nials and annuals are not of much use on the humus pile unless you use a good rot accel- erator such as Fertosan. Leaves are of course invaluable and re- spond well to humus activators, yet few do this, j eferring to stkittet -• take the—eel—eras ss-serinki them on peony plants. Protection of rose bushes, ornamentals, chrysanthemums sartthe ums d 'n1725+me 160f ,,Pl 1, goes particularly or such chry'- santiis, as the Harvest Giants. Last year hilling up of roses was' not undertaken' extensively but straw was used, held, in place by bottomless cartons or by wire screens, and .it proved most successful, in spite of dire warnings and much shrugging of shoulders because it would inhibit mice, rabbits, moles, etc. Bushes were bigger and' flori- bundas especially seemed to be given a flying start, In any case, hitlling up should await a frost. If wet mud plaster is applied, roses may rot. Perhaps the guiding principle in all pro- vew oread .1 e p ant to let it breathe. When it •comes to such drinks as cl erphiniums`aripeon- its, protection is more likely to rot the crowns and should be omitted. In the case of chry- santhemums arid pansies a suc- cessful method isto ptpt straw on the plant and cover that with a sheet of polyethylene, held down in three places by bricks or stones,•so that air can. reach the.. plants. Special care. is re- quired for newly planted clem- atis and once 'again, see that the plant can breathe: O.rna- mcritals are best given a good deep drink of watering to the roots while, the foliage needs' to 'he insulated by sacking or poly sheet against loss of mois- ture (transpiration) and the dry scorching winds of the cold • season. Iris seenf 'to .need little care so long as the bed is clean of weed and . weLl drained and the conditions .generally such that rot is not induced. • The Procedure As this is written we have had 'some 16 days of sunshine and drought, with little frost. Some people have already dug up their tuberous begonias, but those Pacific Giant experts, Vet -1 and Reinelt, advise leaving begonias in the ground through Novrmber 'because it is during. this period that the,tuber stores up energy. for the next` Season. The first light • frots do not harm the tubers. Dig up with a ball of soil an -I place in a C' less cellar until all growth breaks free from the tuber. Then ,wash the soil free, dry in the sun for 'four days until the tuber is hard and dry, other- wise they will decay, ,Store in open flats in a cool dry place until,,Februar y or March when evidence of growth is noted. We arrive at planting which, for rno.,t people, means bulbs. With these it is well to note and follow the recommended "depth of planting 'for each size „ and type of bulb, • Some bone- .I ,meal i.n the hole, mixed with the oil is desirable too. When lily bulbs are planted make sure which are bottom and Which stem and bottom rooting. and ...spay particular a`•4^r''- correct depth for each fond.

Nature's Way A number of authorities are now advising the sowing' of, is r•ennial seed in nature's way which means in October or even later b.fore snow or frost.

Grass seed of course, given a warm' sail and moisture, grows well with an August sowing and the more adventurous of our readers might like to try sweet peas, sown now, where they are to bloom.
