Superintendent COLNE KENNELS 

 Petite Cote, near Montreal, Canada 



Our only experience with flowers planted 

 late in the fall was with sweet peas, which 

 opened June 15th, when spring-sown plants 

 were only in bud. 



The date of all these fall plantings was Oc- 

 tober 26th. Evidently that is too early for 

 radishes, for they came up in November, and, 

 of course, perished during the cold weather. 

 One lone French Breakfast germinated this 

 spring, and was picked and eaten May 10th. 

 It was sweet and tender, while all the spring 

 plantings were tough and hot on account of 

 a slow season. This year we shall wait until 

 after election day to sow radishes. No 

 other seeds showed above ground before 

 spring, from which we judge that the last 

 week in October was none too early to plant 

 them. 



When settled cold weather came we cov- 

 ered the seeds with manure and straw, half of 

 which we removed the middle of March 

 and the other half the first of April. Let- 

 tuce, the first of the seeds to germinate, 

 showed above ground on March 31st. 



Several kinds did not come up at all, but 

 we do not blame fall planting for the failure. 



Corn salad sown in August or September, and 

 lightly protected with leaves or straw over winter, 

 is ready for use as soon as the snow goes. A sub- 

 stitute for lettuce 



The mistakes of an ignorant Italian during the 

 absence of the "head gardener" had some- 

 thing to do with it, as also experimenting 

 with some seeds that were suspiciously old, 

 and again the risking of some very tender 

 kinds. We planted them unusually deep, 

 thinking it would be better protection, but 

 perhaps that was a mistake. The covering 

 of manure and straw was accidentally put on 

 thicker than was meant, about six inches, 

 and possibly was too much. Being cramped 

 for room, we made the rows one foot apart, 

 thinking we could watch for the seeds to ger- 

 minate and then carefully work around them
