PLANTING BULBS OUT -DOORS 51 



Harvest vegetable crops as fast as they mature. Clean the ground 



after harvesting. 

 If you have a cold-frame sow cabbage seed in drills in the garden to 



start plants to winter over in the frame. 

 Prepare a store of soil for use in potting, gathering the necessary 



garden soil, leaf mould, manure from compost heap, etc. 

 Gather seeds of annuals and perennials before they are lost from ripe 



seed-pods; clean them and store in labelled envelopes. 

 Hold a public exhibition of the products of school and home gardens. 

 Send cut flowers from the school garden and arrange them attractively 



in vases as a gift to the School Board at its first meeting of the 



school year. 

 Prick out the seedlings of pansies, English Daisies, primroses, and 



other half-hardy plants in the cold-frames. 

 Lift long-established clumps of hardy lilies which have multiplied; 



divide and reset the bulbs, adding manure to the soil, but keeping 



from contact with bulbs.
