THE GARDENER'S KALENDAR 



As fast as you find suckers forming on fruit trees 

 remove them at once. 



Keep Sweet Peas, Marigolds, and other flowering 

 annuals picked, for their plants will soon cease to 

 bloom if allowed to go to seed. 



You may have dwarf Asters for late bloom in window 

 boxes for the autumn if seed of these is sown now. 



Harvest early vegetables and rework and replant 

 soil for late crops. 



AUGUST 



THIS is a good time to plant Evergreens and thus 

 avoid the rush of spring work. Do not wait 

 until September to do this, as the plants, set out now, 

 will get a firmer hold on the soil before winter sets in. 



Sow perennials in coldframes, which will prevent 

 the seeds from being washed out of the earth by late 

 rains. 



Carnations that have been growing outside in the 

 garden must now be brought indoors. 



Easter Lilies may be potted this month for forcing. 

 They should be kept in a cool, dark place until they 

 are thoroughly rooted. 



Cut out the old canes from your berry bushes.
