SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



[Concluded from page 8] 



found by digging around the bases of 

 plants attacked. At night with a lantern 

 they can be discovered and destroyed. 

 This is a tedious and backaching task, 

 and out of the question where there are 

 large breadths of plants. The free use 

 of black soot dusted over and among the 

 plants is repugnant to cutworms, even 

 more so than lime. A bait of poisoned 

 mash made of fresh shorts sweetened 

 with molasses and to which a little Paris 

 green is added, if laid around their 

 haunts, will attract and kill many. Our 

 British friends claim to have a number 

 of preparations, such as Vaporite, which, 

 when scattered over the ground and hoed 

 or raked in, will destroy by suffocation 

 all pests in the soil. Such a remedy, if 

 put on the market here at a moderate 

 price, would have an immense sale, once 

 it could be proved that it does the work 

 claimed for it. Frequent stirring of the 

 soil with hoe or cultivator is disliked by 

 cutworms, and if persisted in will reduce 

 the amount of damage they would other- 

 wise do. 



Brief Reminders. 



Finish any pruning on spring planted 

 roses at once. 



Remove dead wood from flowering 

 shrubs, now that growth is sufficiently 

 advanced so that it can be seen. 



Get spraying outfits in readiness. The 

 work of fighting leaf-eating insects must 

 start as soon as the leaves unfold, to be 

 at all effectual. 



Plant out any left-over spiraeas, divid- 

 ing any large clumps. 



House Spanish iris and Gladiolus 

 nanus now to be in season for Memorial 

 •lay. 



Do not forget to save a sufficient num- 

 ber of stock plants of yellow and white 

 marguerites, planting these out when 

 danger of frost has gone. 



Gradually reduce the water supply on 

 f reesias you are growing along for flower- 

 ing bulbs. Keep these on a sunny shelf, 

 or in a frame. 



Keep the hoe going among hardy 

 perennials, as well as shrubberies. 



Gloxinias will require a fairly heavy 

 shade to prevent burning of the flowers. 

 Pot on your spring seedlings and grow 

 in a warm house. 



Stir around sweet peas outdoors freely 

 and afford them a mulch of old decayed 

 manure to keep the roots cool and moist. 



Plant out gladioli and tuberoses. Let 

 the latter have a warm location, with 

 plenty of sun.
