The Gardener's Calendar 



Look over the vegetables in the cellar and 

 remove all that show the least indication of 

 decay. This will be for the benefit of the 

 remaining vegetables, as well as for the health 

 of the family. 



This is a good time of the year in which to 

 draw up your garden plans. Don't be satisfied 

 with the first plan. Look it over sharply and 

 see if it cannot be improved. Plan for economy 

 of space as well as labor. Too many gardens 

 are simply jumbled together. No attention is 

 given to orderly arrangement. The result is 

 unsatisfactory from all points of view. Study 

 up on the habits of the plants you intend to 

 grow, and locate them in such a manner that 

 there will be no interference between them, 

 as they develop. This can easily be done if you 

 give the matter a little careful consideration.

Hot-bed making will now be in order. Do 

 the work carefully, if you want good results. 



Get the cold-frames ready for the reception 

 of plants from the hot-bed as soon as they are 

 in a condition to make the change. The longer 

 a plant is left in the hot-bed after it is ready
