THE EARTH'S BOUNTY 



risk cutting more than your staff of help can 

 handle readily in case of bad weather. 



Grass that is allowed to stand until it is turned 

 into hay loses half its food value, so cut early. 

 Late potatoes can still be planted. Rape sown 

 early in the season will be ready to cut or turn 

 cattle into. 



Garden. If an old-fashioned flower-garden 

 is desired next year, now is the time to start it 

 by sowing seeds of perennials, such as colum- 

 bine, bluebells, candytuft, sweet-william, helio- 

 trope and many others which can be selected 

 from any seedman's catalogue. 



Shrubs that have done flowering should be 

 trimmed, as it is of growth made this year that 

 next year's flowers are born. 



Hyacinths, tulips, daffodils and other spring 

 bulbs can be taken up, and either stored or 

 divided and replanted. 



Strawberries will be making runners. Peg 

 down as many of the small plants as you will 

 be likely to need for new beds, and cut back all 

 others.
