What To Do In The.' 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

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'

ture (transpiration) and the dry

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

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. Such
seeds are arabis, alyssum, au- •

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. There seems little
doubt that provided. the snow

plants will have a good start
