THE GARDEN PRIMER 



Look out for cut-worms in your garden beds. 



Spray for garden pests. Spray berry bushes and 

 fruit trees twice in June. 



June is the critical gardening time you must weed 

 and cultivate carefully and persistently for successful 

 results. 



Privet hedges may be trimmed this month. 

 Plant Dahlias and Gladioli. 

 Begin to tie up Tomato vines. 



Set out Cabbage and Cauliflower plants in rich soil. 

 Well drained clay soil is best for Cabbage. 



Tender annuals planted after June ist will develop 

 with wonderful rapidity. 



JULY 



CUT back hybrid perpetual Roses about six inches 

 after June bloom is over and with fertilizing and 

 cultivating a second crop of blossoms may result in the 

 same season. 



Plant Artichokes the middle of the month. 



Keep your flowering plants such as Chrysanthe- 

 mums, Cosmos and Dahlias to a compact bushy growth 

 by "pinching."
