FRUIT TREES 'AND PLANTS FOR SPRING PLANTING *-as soil falls apart into several small FREE WHEAT HAS COME TO parts we may rest assured that it is ,CANADA, perfectly safe to dig. The Canadian Government has TOOLS. It is unnecessary for the wheat and flour ion the free backyard gardener to purchase many put tools for this first garden. Those who list for the purpose of obtaining' have been growing vegetables in thef of Canadian their backyard for a number of years gradually add to their supply- until hs in the garden. Complaints are sometimes heard that the expense necessary to commence a backyard garden is very great. Many very good backyard gardens have been made and excellent harvests obtain- ed with very few and comparatively inexpensive tools. A digging fork or spade', a rake, and a hoe are about all the tools essential at the outset, and these are inexpensive. PLANTING OF SEEDS. When it has been determined that the soil is suitable for digging and the weather is nice and warm, it is necessary that the seeds be planted in the garden. As fine a surface as possible should be secured, so that the little seeds will quickly germinate and grow. To sow the seeds quickly, evenly, and thinly requires considerable practice and care. The row may be made straight by stretching fairly tight a piece of string from one portion of the garden to another and using this as a guide for making the trenches or drills for placing the seeds in. After the seeds have been dropped in they should at once be covered with soil by gently drawing some of the loose surface soil in. over the seeds with a piece of stick or with the hands. This soil should, however, not be heaped up over the row but should be placed evenly with the rest •of the garden soil and packed down. THINNING. Backyard gardeners should not attempt to grow immense quantities at first. It is necessary to plant sufficient seed to secure a good crop of plants, the more slender plants being thinned out soon after they are above ground so as to assure reasonable room for a good crop of healthier plants. The thinning should be commenced when the plants are from one to two inches in height and should not be left 'inti; the plants have become long and slender, because if they are left one plant simply tries to smother another one out; whereas, if they are thin- ned to the proper distance they will have room to grow to their required size of maturity. TRANSPLANTING. The city dweller will find it almost impossible to grow plants of first-class quality of such vegetables as tomatoes, celery, or cabbages unless he has other appliances such as a hot -bed, which enables him to start the seeds very early in the spring and some time before they could have been planted out in the garden, en order that he may secure early crops. It is good practice for him to purchase plants which may be taken to the backyard garden and transplanted or set out in the garden at a required distance and good healthy crops grown from them, and in all cases when atir?lbsjsi-1?g .pla.'ats_p-ili_y tardy • • • • • • • • 0 • • • • We have established a lasting ;reputation for fair and square dealing and are n 'ow prepared to '*meet existing conditions by offer- ing our high grade trees and plants direct to customers at HOCK BOTTOM Prices.
