ANOTHER HARDY GARDEN BOOK 



If the Tuberous-rooted Begonia is grown, 

 it can be taken up and treated in the same 

 way. 



The last work of all in the garden, but 

 not the least important, must be postponed 

 until the end of November. This consists 

 in giving the flower garden, in all localities 

 where the Winters are severe, a covering 

 of leaves and stable-litter. The plants will 

 start earlier in the Spring and be better and 

 stronger for this protection. They should 

 not be covered, however, until the cold 

 weather really sets in, and care must be 

 taken to uncover the beds early, about the 

 25th of March. 



Often during the frozen Winter the gar- 

 dener's thoughts will dwell upon his sleeping 

 plants, and when remembering the Lily 

 bulbs placed in the earth in the Autumn he 

 can but think how in the Spring they will 

 rise into a new life, crowned with loveliest 

 bloom.
