210 PLANNING AND PLANTING 



plants. This is an excellent time to make new 

 plantings of Roses, particularly of the budded or 

 grafted sorts. 



Make sure that your evergreens do not go into 

 permanent winter quarters suffering for lack of 

 moisture. If you have had a d-ry spell, water the 

 ground copiously with the hose ; do it thoroughly. 

 More evergreens are probably lost for lack of 

 attention to this detail, than from any other cause. 



It is a good idea to manure and dig the flower 

 beds that are not in use, also the garden, and 

 allow them to lay unraked during winter, open to 

 the action of the elements for the destruction of 

 any grubs or insect pests that may be lurking in 

 the soil. 



DECEMBER. A general cleanup of rubbish, 

 garbage and litter of all sorts before we go into 

 winter quarters should now be the order of the 

 day, and this will complete the work of the year.
