Remember to spray your orchard trees as soon as 

 the petals fall from the blossoms. 



The middle of the month is the time to spray your 

 rose bushes with whale-oil soap, and the last week in 

 May they should receive liquid manurial stimulant. 



Mulch your strawberries just before they bloom. 



Sow all hardy annuals and transplant such as you 

 have had started in coldframes in March, which have 

 been hardened off. It is not too late to sow tender 

 annuals in coldframes for later transplanting. 



Shift perennials, and rearrange border plants. 

 This can be done with safety by the end of the month. 



This is a good time to think about flower-boxes for 

 porch and windows.
