ORCHARD AND GARDEN 



THAT REMINDS ME! 

 January. 



Get the idea of a better garden this 

 year. Don't plant more than you can 

 care for. 



Make a careful study of fertilizers, 

 sprays and varieties. 



Seeds to sow in the greenhouse or 

 house are: Lobelia, pansy, verbena, 

 marguerite, carnation, snap dragon, 

 petunia, forget-me-nots, daisy, salvia, 

 canna. 



Harvest the ice crop this month. 



Top dress the bare lawn with short 

 manure. 



Don't let the indoor work be neg- 

 lected. 



Cut your scions for spring grafting, 

 and cut always from bearing wood. 

 Pack in moist sand in the cellar. 



Plan your garden on paper and draw 

 to a scale. 



February. 



Sow now in flat boxes in the win- 

 dow. For the autumn, scarlet sage or 

 salvia. To fill gaps in the perennial 

 border, single dahlias. For hanging 

 baskets, the cigar plant. For May 

 bloom indoors. Ten weeks stock. To 

 cover the permanent bulb beds after 

 the spring flowers have gone, ver- 

 benas. For edging the walks, tufted 

 pansies. 



For a trailing vine for window 

 boxes, variegated periwinkle. 



For an annual porch vine to fill in 

 early, coboea seanders. 



For big color mass in September, 

 plant now cosmos. 



For summer bed on north side, tub- 

 erous begonias. For fresh vegetables 

 in May, sow in hot-bed: Cauliflower,
