THE OCTOBER CALENDAR 



Out-doors 



6 9 



Lift summer flowering bulbs — dahlia, canna, gladiolus, and tube- 

 rose — and store them in the cellar. 



Plant before the middle of the month, if possible, all spring flowering 

 bulbs; the earlier the better. 



Harvest all vegetable crops except parsnip and salsify. 



Clean up the garden, burning all weeds and rubbish. 



Transplant young cabbage plants to cold-frame, also all half-hardy 

 perennials. 



Make thick straw mats or some other covering for the cold-frames; also 

 an outer protective covering of boards.
