THE GARDENER'S KALENDAR 



Achimenes tubers should now be started in flats, 

 in light soil, with leaf mold and sand, and sheep manure 

 to enrich it. A temperature of 60 degrees will be 

 required at night. 



If you are digging around your garden at any time 

 remember that dug-in snow chills the soil where roots 

 may be dormant, consequently they will be injured 

 or killed by thoughtless treatment of this sort. 



Don't forget that your lawn needs winter care. 

 Top dress it with fine manure. 



Both Gladioli and Cosmos may be started indoors 

 now for early bloom and bedding plants propagated 

 from stock plants. 



Place your orders early with your nurseryman if 

 you would avoid disappointment in the rush for good 

 plants that always seems coincident with the beginning 

 of every season's rush work. 



If you procure your seeds in time you will have an 

 opportunity of testing their germinating qualities before 

 the regular outdoor planting season. 



Among the indoor vegetable seeds you will be 

 sowing in February for outdoor transfer in May are 

 lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, eggplant, celery, onion, 

 endive, radishes, parsley, etc.
