No Rush •
For every seed•wasted because it
was planted too late, there are at
least a dozen lost through being
put in too early. Perhaps it is
because most of our ancestors
came from warmer countries than
Canada that we are i inclined to
rush things too fast. Of course
it is pleasant and natural to get
outside with a spade just as soon
as the sun starts to get warm. But
so long as the soil is the least bit
muddy and there remains a real
threat of serious frost, it is well
to take things easy. As a matter
of fact for the great majority of
plants there is no real growth until
spring has definitely arrived and
both air and poll are warm.
Of course there are' sone ex-
ceptions. One can hardly get

radishes and spidadh, the first

early. These go in just as soon
as the soil is fit to work. With
the rest, however, one is well ad-
vised to be patient.
At the end of the planting sea-

Protection •
One can safely rush the season
for a few early tomatoes, hills of
melons or cucumbers by planting
or setting under special oiled
paper, plastic or glass caps. Most
seed stores carry these things
which are about the size and shape
of the old fashioned straw hat,
or cow breakfasts. These will
furnish ample protection against
even severe frost._and by _ using
them one can get a few tender
things started two to three weeks
ahead of the usual time.
