OUTDOOR WORK. 



While planting of deciduous trees and 

 shrubs is now over, evergreens may still 

 be removed. Always avoid exposing the 

 roots to sun and wind, and water well 

 before filling the holes. The soil can- 

 not be made too firm about the roots. A 

 mulch of littery manure the first season 

 is beneficial. As growth advances it will 

 be noticed that there are a good many 

 dead and sickly branches among decid- 

 uous stock. Eemove these, if possible, be- 

 fore the plants flower and do any needed 

 pruning of live wood as soon after flow- 

 ering as possible, not before blooming, as 

 is too often done. Since the recent rains, 

 hardy perennials have made rapid growth. 

 Keep the soil stirred among them. It 

 is a good time now to plant out any 

 seedlings raised last winter, which have 

 been transplanted into flats. 



Late sown sweet peas are never so 

 good as early ones. Put supports to 

 them before they get too long. A good 

 mulch between all the sweet peas now 

 will keep weeds down and assist in main- 

 taining coolness and moisture in the soil. 

 Plant another batch of gladioli. Cover 

 these deeper than the early plantings; 

 six inches is not too much'. Tuberoses

should also now be planted without de- 

 lay, but these lack the popularity of 

 former years. Asters, stocks, carnations, 

 violets and many of the hardier plants 

 are now better out in the field. 



LILAC SUCKERS. 



Will suckers from double lilac bushes 

 bloom if transplanted, and when is the 



best time to take them off? 



G. M. 



Suckers from any lilacs can be taken 

 off and transplanted, either in fall or 

 early spring. In the case of your double 

 white variety, unless the plant is on its 

 own roots, you will probably find that any 

 suckers taken off will turn out to be 

 the old purple, single variety. Suckers, 

 except on own-root plants, should be re- 

 moved as they appear. If allowed to 

 grow, they will soon outgrow the grafted 

 portion. In purchasing lilacs, always get 

 own-root plants if possible; they are far 

 the most satisfactory. C.
