suckles and climbing roses. In some 

 sections the Moonfiower and Cobea 

 scandens started from seed sell read- 

 ily. Seeds of the hardy perennials 

 may be sown to advantage now. It is 

 really much better to start them now 

 than to wait until later. You can use 

 either a cold frame or well prepared 

 beds in the open ground, the former 

 being preferable. Have your roses 

 three or four inches apart and remem- 

 ber the standing rule that seeds 

 should be covered about three times 

 their own depth. 



Plantings of gladioli can be con- 

 tinued from now until the end of June. 

 You will get good results by planting 

 them in rows two or three feet apart, 

 with three or four inches between the 

 bulbs. Have them at least four inches 

 deep. Shallow planting is a common 

 mistake. If you plant the bulbs at in- 

 tervals of two weeks, you will have a 

 long, continuous season although it is 

 well to remember that the mid-sum- 

 mer sale of gladioli is seldom very 

 remunerative. Deep working of the 

 soil is necessary in order to develop 

 good plants, and if the season should 

 prove dry, watering freely will be 

 necessary. Many growers find it pays 

 to sort the corms over when they 

 start planting, putting in the small 

 ones first and leaving the largest for 

 the last. 



The old peony plantations which 

 have been yielding well should be 

 given a top dressing of old manure 

 worked into the soil, and if the 

 weather becomes dry while the buds 

 are being formed or the flowers color- 

 ing up, water should be given in gen- 

 erous supply. Although the growing 

 of peonies is largely a matter for 

 specialists, a great many plantsmen 

 find that they can at least supply a 

 local trade from their own grounds, 

 and the demand for peonies is very 

 constant. To get good flowers you 

 must have soil that has been worked 

 to a depth of nearly two feet, and the 

 additions of bone meal and wood 

 ashes helps to give highly colored 

 flowers.
