Bis Show—With Little Effort
Modern gardens or at least the
lots in the suburbs particularly,
are much bigger than they used to
be and a real show of -(lowers here
and in .some other spacious places
is now possible. One ,can have a
big blaze of wonderful' color from
early July on and at little cost
and effort; A few cents worth of
seed or a dollar or two -for plants
will produce enough flowers of the
brighter and bigger types to fill,
big beds, say ten by forty, or fifty
feet. Really big beds, or long
narrow ones along driveways,
paths and lanes, are often cultivat:.
ed with a garden cultivator, at
least before the plants are set out:
•Big showy and easily grown
flowers like zinnias, including of
course the new giant and cactus
types, petunias, marigolds, cosmos,
salvia, nasturtiums, spider plants.
and such things are usually chosen
for these massive displays. With
some, like the zinnias and nastur-
tiums we can sow seed directly
in the beds,.wtrlth petunias, spider
plants, etc., it is best in 'most of
FAST RELIEF FOR
COMMON
SORE
THROAT
Canada to start se•►, indoors or
• in cold frames early or use started
plants.
In any ease, however the main
thing is $o space or 'thin plants
well apart so that one can cultivate
easily and quickly with fair sized
equipiaaei t.. It is also well -to e=
member that a big bed of big
type flowers, something that will
grow at least 12 inches high, and
better 18 inches, will be ,easier to
look after than a big bed of small
flowers or ane where the plants
are crowded too close together.
Normally, with one good cultiva-
tion before planting only two,
three or four other quick ones will,
be necessary ten days or two
weeks apart. By then the plants
themselves take over and will fill
the whole bed and crowd out any
weeds. To keep the bed blooming
well, spick flowers regularly and
don't be afraid of lopping off a few
buds and branches when you do.
Pruning like that usually encour-
ages more branching and blooming.
Long Rooted Vegetables
`Carrots, parsnips and other deep
rooted vegetables often have a
tough time getting down deep into
the sail, especially in heavy clay,
and in trying to do so they become
twisted and branched. When we
go --to pull them for the table or
storage, we too may 'have a tough
time and leave about as many roots
in the ground with the tops twist-
ed off as we actually harvest. The
wise gardener prevents all this
fuss and loss by planting these
deep rooted vegetables in a narrow
trench filled with loose, sandy soil
mixed with compost. In such a !
mixture seed germinates more
quickly, the young plants are easily
thinned and when we go to harvest
there is no troubre in ,pulling and
a mere shake will loosen all t -he
soil. • In some cases where the soil
is very heavy and a lot of carrots
or parsnips are to be planted, one
simply punches holes with a crow-
bar or something similar, fill with

trench of course should be about
10 or 12 inches deep.
Good Seed l Vital
Nothing is quite so important
as the seed we plant in our flower
or vegetable ,garden. Soil, cls if ate
and cultivation may be perfect but
unless thk iseed_ is guatd nothing
else will matter. And good seed
means fresh, pure strain seed of a
variety that is specially suited to
Oan da. The real gardener does
not take any chances with some-
thing left over from last year. He
makes sure that what he plants
comes from. a reputable and Can-
adian source and that -it is fresh
thiT yeas'
Don't Do This
One of the commonest mistakes
of the new gardener is to plant far
too deep. Little seeds like that of
aster, zirnias, portulaca, alyssum,
lettuce, carrots, and iso on, is mere-
ly preseed ed in the ground with per-
haps a tiny bit of the finest soil or
sand sifted lightly over. : igger
seeds likethose of peas, beans and
nasturtiums should be planted
about half an inch deep, corn and
beans an inch deep, and potatoes,
gladiolus, dahlias six to eight
inches deep. A lot of seed never
gets a proper chance to germinate
if buried too far down.
