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.
