These are some of the abuses we 

 often see, to say nothing of that abuse 

 which allows weeds and grass to rage 

 rampant, smothering the flowers out. 



Last, there is another abuse of bed- 

 ding plants, the watering can. How 

 often it is used with bad effect, since 

 it merely sprinkles the ground, thus 

 encouraging the roots to come to the 

 surface where they are soon destroyed 

 by the hot sun, whereas, if the ground 

 is thoroughly watered and allowed to 

 dry on top. the roots will go down- 

 ward in seaich of moisture and not 

 be susceptible to any hot, dry spell.
