AUTUMN WORK 



Care must be taken to store the seeds 

 through the Winter in a perfectly dry place. 

 In case they are left in an unoccupied coun- 

 try house they should be protected from 

 mice, as all flower seeds seem to be articles 

 of delicacy much appreciated by these crea- 

 tures. The flower seeds can be gathered all 

 through the months of September and Octo- 

 ber until the plants are killed by frost. 

 When gathering them do not omit the little 

 black bulbils found on the stems of the 

 Tiger Lilies. These should be planted as 

 soon as dried, in some sunny place marked 

 with sticks, which are not to be removed 

 during the Winter, to insure that the ground 

 where they have been planted will not be 

 disturbed in the Spring. 



Pansy seeds may be sown the first week 

 in September in rows, in rich soil that has 

 been made very fine. Water them daily, 

 and by the time the ground freezes they 

 will be nice little plants, able to endure the 

 Winter. Do not transplant them this first
