A PLANTING-TIME CALENDAR 



planting sweet peas, pansies, mignonette, scarlet flax and 

 many other annuals. Plant the delicate sorts now and 

 prick them out a few weeks later. In sections where the 

 warm weather is practically over, roses and other shrubs may 

 be planted successfully. The seed-gathering of annuals 

 should be done during this month, and the early bulbs that 

 are nearly ready for digging should be taken from the ground 

 and separated at this time. A good season for renovating 

 old lawns. 



NOVEMBER 



Freesias and other hardy bulbs may be planted now, and 

 a continuance of planting hardy bulbs, as hyacinths and 

 early lilies. November is the month for making needful 

 alterations in the garden — complete spading and other heavy 

 work that may be done before rainfall. It will be well to 

 plant sweet peas in quantities this month, and it is high time 

 for planting the hyacinth bulbs for glasses. Any or all an- 

 nual and perennial seeds may be started during this month. 



DECEMBER 



Near the seacoast all annual and perennial seed desired 

 for early spring blooming should be in the ground. Trees, 

 shrubs and vines may be planted this month. It is a little 

 early for tender roses, but the hardier sorts may be planted 

 now, and December is the month to plant evergreens and 

 deciduous shrubs, where the frost is not heavy. All annual 

 seeds are successful if planted in December.
