that splits, wrenches, and slaughters the 

 dahlias, unless they have been planted in a 

 spot sheltered from the wind. 



Gladioli have no business in a flower bor- 

 der. They have no decent foliage or habit 

 and besides, tender plants don't fit in a 

 hardy border. Grow them in your vege- 

 table garden, in rows, where you can culti- 

 vate them with a wheel hoe, and where stakes 

 don't matter so much. Posts and wires are 

 practical for fanciers of gladioli. 



A rose garden is usually the worst looking 

 kind of garden there is, because the stakes 

 and labels loom up like the stones in a grave- 

 yard. Use iron stakes, or prune your plants 

 so they won't need stakes. Keep a book, 

 showing the position of each rose, and thus 

 avoid labels. 



Cosmos always wants to grow too high and 

 bloom too late. It may be twenty years yet 

 before we shall have dwarf, July-blooming 

 varieties. Therefore, jam a spade down into 

 the ground all round the cosmos, not too 

 close, but near enough to check its growth 

 and throw it into flower. Leave some other 

 plants for comparison. If you have success, 

 please send us photographs, dates, measure- 

 ments, and other facts. 



Prepare for Fall and Winter 

 Vegetables 



THE suggestions made in the Gardener's 

 Reminder this month are excellent, 

 but I wish to note one important difference 

 between New York and Philadelphia prac- 

 tice and to add some other timely advice. 



July 17th would be too soon to plant early 

 flat turnips in the latitude of Philadelphia 

 for fall and winter use, as the bulbs would 

 become hard and woody and would not be 

 fit to put away for winter. August 1 5th to 1 8th 

 is the proper time with us to sow these turnips 

 for a winter supply. On the other hand 

 August 1 8th is too late for us to sow Yellow 

 Stone turnips for winter use. The Stone 

 turnip as we know it is the Swede or Ruta- 

 baga and with us these have to be sown 

 early in July to reach a suitable size for win- 

 ter use. Also we must plant winter beets in 

 July in order to get them of sufficient size. 



TRY THIS KIND OF STORAGE 



The ordinary cellar is a very poor place for 

 the storing of roots and vegetables for winter 

 use by reason of the dryness and warmth 

 caused by the heater which is usually present. 

 By far trie most satisfactory plan for keeping 

 roots, cabbage and several other articles for 

 winter, is to have barrels sunk for about two- 

 thirds of their height or depth in the soil in
