STORE FOR MEN
Help Them Stand
Tall plants, especially the ones
with long straight stalks, will prob-
ably need some support to with-
stand high winds or heavy rains.
Delphiniums, dahlias, perhaps
some of the hollyhocks and orna-
mental sunflowers are in this
group. Usually stakes about one
inch by one inch a little shorter
than the plant is high and driven
in close will be sufficient. To these
the plants are tied loosely with
soft twine, raffia or any of the
special twisting materials sold by
seed stores. One should not use
hard twine or wire that will cut
into the soft stems of the plant or
heat up in the sun and burn. With
low bushy plants like peonies or
oriental poppies sometimes a hoop
of wire or wood is placed about
them and a foot or so above the
ground. In England around del-
phiniums and such bushier flow-
ers, early in the spring, the gar-
dener sticks bits of brush in the
ground. Gradually the plan t
grows about this, hiding it, but be-
ing firmly supported just the
sa me.
For supporting sweet peas and
the taller sorts of garden peas,
and also other climbers some peo-
ple use chicken wire or old tennis
nets or string. But a better ma-
terial is brush if a supply can be
obtained. This is pus'bed firmly
in the ground along the rows and
before the plants are more than
a few inches. Depending upon the
locality, brush from three to six
feet high is suitable and the bush-
ier the better.
Most gardeners stake tomatoes.
Usually a six to seven -foot stake
is driven firmly in the ground
when the tomato plant is set out.
About every foot of growth the
stem is 'tied loosely, but securely.
All side shoots are nipped off and
towards the end of the summer to
hasten maturity of fruit the main
stem is also nipped.
For a Neat Compost
There are plenty of ways of
making $compost pile, but • one
'
easy an very neat way 14 to
make a 4 x 4 foot hollow sgdare
four feet high of concrete blocks.
Just lay them in position without
mortar and then when you are
ready to use the contents it is
easy to dismantle one side to get
at the contents. The main thing
is to have the sides of the heap
cut off from the air. This speeds
rotting down as does also water
from the garden hose on the pile
once in a while. It is surprising
what an immense number of
weeds, grass clippings, leaves and
such will disappear in a 4 x 4
foot open bin.
Watch Out For Pests
One should watch foliage of both
flowers and vegetables to make
sure there is no damage from bugs
or disease. These things are easy
enough to control provided one
catches them in the early stages.
A hole in a leaf, a wilted stem or
any discoloration should be ex-
amined with suspicion.
Bugs or insects divide themselves
into two general groups: those
that eat holes in foliage or stems,
and those that suck out the juices.
Diseases come in various forms,
sometimes a mildew or rust,
sometimes a general withering or
sickening of the plants where the
roots are affected.
A healthy, clean and vigorously
growing garden, of course, is the
very best insurance against in-
jury. Well spaced, well cultivated
plants are far less susceptible to
trouble than neglected plots over-
run with weeds. Prompt. clean-up
measures, after harvest or bloom-
ing, and in the spring and fall will
also help greatly. Many bugs and
disease live over in the ground, or
in weeds along the edge of the
garden. Cleaning these up regu-
larly will help greatly in keeping
a garden healthy.
However, even a healthy and
clean garden is sometimes attack-
ed and the best defence -here, as
in other cases,is to have on: hand
a supply of usts or sprays and
get these applied quiekly. It is
not necessary to hath a lot of
separate and messy t aterials. At
any seed stone; `oi'i dah get handy'
combination commercial mixtures
which will take care of almost
any attack. The main thing is to
start control measures just as
soon as the first injury appears.
Treatment is not expensive.
This is Vital
There is nothing so important as
the seed we plant in our flower or
vegetable garden. Soil, climate
and cultivation may be ideal but
unless the seed is good nothing else
will matter. And good seed means
fresh, pure strain seed and of a
variety that is especially suited to
Canada. The successful gardener
does not take any chances with.
something left over from last year.
He makes sure that what he plants
comes from a reputable and Cana-
dian source and that it is fresh
this year.
For Easy Recognition
Sometimes it is pretty hard to
tell the difference between seed-
lings of flowers or vegetables and
the ever-present weeds. You can
make the task easier by planting
evenly spaced in rows and putting
a stake at each end of the row_
Then. by sighting along the row
between the stakes, you can find
the kind of seedling that appears
only in that line and readily re.
move the weeds. Or with seeds
in a flower bed you can sow even-
ly in regular circles around a
stake and anything that appears
out of line is removed.
Must Have Room
Most of us are inclined to plant
seeds too close together and some-
times with very fine seed it can't
be helped. But the more tightly
crowded the plants the less vigor
any one of them can maintain.
Shortly after the seedlings have
shown their first set of true leaves
and before crowding becomes crit-
ical
take out the excess plants in
both the flower and vegetable gar-
den. If you have need for them,
elsewhere in the garden these thin-
nings can be transplanted readily
at this stage.
For flowers that grow to a rela-
tively low height like Alyssum,
Dwarf Marigold, African Daisyy
Wallflowers or Lobelia, you should
leave only a few inches Spade be-
tween plants, in the row. With,r
