LESSON XX 



Pull all weeds and leave a soil mulch 

 over the entire garden. 



Run the line across one foot south of 

 the garden and trim off the verbenas 

 with the turf cutter. 



Have tomatoes tied and south and west 

 walks free from weeds. 



Pick flowers, tomatoes and lettuce, if 

 ready. 



Be sure garden and diagrams are com- 

 plete. 



Plantin*: Common plant in, hen plant, 

 broad-leaved plantin. Plantago Major 

 (plan-ta'-gb md'-jor). This is a very com- 

 mon dooryard weed all over the United 

 States and Europe. It does not die 

 in winter, but the root lives year after year. 

 The ribbed leaves, when bound on in- 

 flamed surfaces, have a soothing effect. 



* Always have the weed present.
