ANOTHER HARDY GARDEN BOOK 



Autumn, but allow them to remain until the 

 Spring in the rows where they have grown. 

 They will do better next year if undis- 

 turbed. Pansies, however, that were sown in 

 July may be transplanted in October to their 

 final places. If they have been grown for 

 flowering next year, all blossoms should be 

 cut as soon as they appear. In this way 

 the plants become larger and stronger. In 

 localities where the Winters are severe a 

 light covering of leaves or stable litter will 

 help the plants to make an earlier start in 

 the Spring. 



If new beds and borders are to be made 

 in your garden, the first days of September 

 are not too early to begin. When these 

 have been carefully staked out, the ground 

 should be dug out two feet in depth and 

 all stones removed. Put first a foot of old 

 manure in the bottom of the bed, and then 

 proceed to fill up with alternate layers, of 

 about four inches each, of top soil (that 

 taken from the first foot of soil taken out)
