OEGIN now to bank up the celery with 

 *-* earth but only if it is dry, otherwise it 

 will rot. Tie a soft twine around the celery 

 plants, beginning at one end and twisting the 

 twine around each plant down one row then 

 up the next and down the third, using the 

 same ball of soft twine to the very end of the 

 last row. Pack the earth around the plants and 

 as the plants grow pack it around again and so 

 on until it is a high mound, and at the end of 

 November cover all with pinetags or straw, 

 and on top of this place boards to hold it down, 

 and slope the boards like the roof of a house to 

 take off the rain and snow. The celery from 

 the very first should be constantly sprayed 

 with bordeaux to insure against blight, and 

 should also be fed with nitrate of soda or 

 manure water to push it along. 



TN THE orchard remove dead limbs, prune 

 -*- away the limbs that crowd each other, so 

 as to let in the sunlight, and keep the young 

 trees headed low to simplify the gathering of 

 fruit. Plant all fruit- trees in the Autumn, 

 except the stone fruits. Plant the deciduous 

 trees and shrubs, with the exception of the 

 Tulip Poplar and the Birch. February is the 

 best time for these, as also for evergreens. 



Sow grass seed for lawn and orchard. 



Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Lil- 

 lies and other outdoor bulbs should be planted 

 now. Those which were planted in pots for 

 the indoor garden the last of August can now 

 be brought into the house to bloom for Christ- 

 mas. Bring the potted bulbs in every two 

 weeks so as to have continuous bloom through- 

 out the winter, first putting them in the cellar 

 and then bringing them to the light and 

 warmth of a sunny window. 



Get in all the tender plants, either putting 

 them in a pit, greenhouse, or conservatory. 

 Remember to give plenty of air every day, but 

 do ont let the air blow directly on the plants 

 when the weather is very cold. Water the plants 

 thoroughly so the earth in the pot be wet 

 through, and not a little sprinkling on top. 



Save seed of specially fine vegetables and 

 flowers this year, because of the scarcity. 

 Send in your order to the seedsmen as soon as 

 possible, and order a sufficient amount so as 

 to have continuous crops next season, plant- 

 ing as much in your vegetable garden as you 

 can well take care of. 



Push to maturity the lettuce in the cold- 

 frames by feedingwithmanure water, and make 

 another sowing of seed for a later crop, planting 

 some in coldframes and some in a protected 

 place in the open ground for a crop in April. 



r~\rVTDE perennials; plant hardy Roses, 

 *-* plant tender ones, from pots, in spring. 

 Trench the Rose beds by digging about two 

 feet deep between the Roses and filling in 

 with well rotted cow manure with a little 

 bonemeal. 



In planting out currants, gooseberries, rasp- 

 berries, grapes, and all fruit and ornamental 

 trees and shrubs dig deep holes putting rich 

 earth with a handful of bonemeal in the bot- 

 tom, leaving the poorer soil for the top. 

 Pack the earth firmly about the roots, placing 

 a stake on either side to which tie the tree so 

 as to prevent the strong winds displacing them.

AMERICA 



MUST FEED 



THE WORLD 



Europe is hungry. Disaster lurks 

 in the wake of submarines. The 

 loss of each food ship is a tragedy. 

 But the idle acres of America 

 could grow more food per year 

 than all of the enemy's ships can 

 destroy. 



Every Idle Acre Helps the Enemy 



Hinder rations and you hinder 

 victory. Submarines will continue 

 to sink food ships. Other ships 

 and more food must take the place 

 of those destroyed. 



Clear— Plow— Plant 



Remove the stumps and boul- 

 ders — drain the swampy places. 

 Cultivate every available acre of 

 land. Don't let labor shortage 

 hinder you.
