BOOK OF THE HOME GARDEN 



When we come to weed close to our plants there 

 are not any other tools that will take the weeds out 

 as well as our fingers, and if you want a weed out of 

 the garden so it won't grow again, pull it up root 

 and all and carry it away where the sun can dry it 

 and kill it. Just cutting the tops off won't kill a lot 

 of them; they will start again. Weeds do two dis- 

 agreeable things, they take the moisture away from 

 the plants we want and they make seeds to make 

 more weeds which we don't want. So if you keep 

 your garden well weeded this year, the chances are 

 you will have less work next year, unless you are 

 unfortunate enough to have your garden sur- 

 rounded by weeds which are allowed to go to seed, 

 or unless you should get some manure full of weed 

 seeds which have not been killed.
