' garden. madezI4ore
The dirst tilde Is to allow-SW*14a
$Pace between' plants for „full growtb.
'With sneh things asi eo.smos , or the
large zinnias and marigolds, this means
at least14$ Inches. A. pod rule to tol-
low Is to "alloW half aS nauch 14.ce
. between as the plant is high,, at anatue
ity. This yardstick, Indeed, may',be
applied, right through the full range of
- gardening. If this much, sPftee. is 'al -
1 -Owed, then Tital euItilvation and weed-,
' in; can be earried out easily.
- Smaller MAWS in Front

smaller plants t the front of the
bed; otherwisetheir groWth and bleoms

The beginner -is advised, to follow the
clump planting rather than raw -s; that
is, using groups of at least three of
each flower. Here and there throughout
.a.olong bed of ilowers an odd fair-sized
clump will be brought forward a bit
just - -°•break - any tandeney . towards
even lines, but the° general rrtle, of
planting small stuff in front will he
followed.
In both ?flower and vegetable garden-
ing, of course,- an early and thorough
• cultivation when the ground Es moist
and the weeds small is worth three or
tour soil -stirrings later on. With one
thorough digging or plowing in the
spring, followed by two or three light
eulti-vations about ten days apart after-
wards, the average garden will prae-
UeaUy after Itself.
TransPlantl.ng Hurts
Success with. transplanting can.
,assured by watering thoroughiy after
plant, shrub or tree is meved. Of next
importance will be stimulant.
Moving plant is somewhat like an
operation for a human being, and, the
larger the specimen the more necesSary
the attention. With shrubbery 'and
trees often mainuroots are erat and, tbe
, shock is severe, Half a pail of water

should be repeated two or three, times

Aiickry- available eommercia.: fertil-

Pinch for small thiags like tomato
_plants or asters,aand -perhaps up to a
couple of handruls for shrubs and trees.
Care should be taken in the use of
any chemical fertilizer .that it does not
actually' touch roots or foliage. In the
dry state it is liable to burn. Experts
usually play- safe and • diSsolve ' the
fertilizer in water before applying.'
The advantage of good seed cannot
be overemphasied.--“Other factors may
be beyond control, but thegardener has
absolute cheek over this foundatIon..
Weather, soil and location may he ideal,
but without good seed, specially selected
to suit Canadian conditions, the garden
is going to be a failure:

he murmured. "I don't often have

he thought he would,try all other doors
to see- if -they, by chance, would open.
But nb; all were fast. "There is one

"let's get away from here. If we two
