Important November Work 
are complete the year’s work, the garden 
must be cleaned up. By doing this 
work now you will have cleaner plants next 
year. 
In the September GARDEN MAGAZINE 
(page 82), Prof. Sanderson describes one 
method—fall plowing—of destroying many 
of the garden enemies. There are many 
insects and fungous diseases that cannot 
be destroyed by plowing. The best way to 
reach these is to collect into a pile all the 
refuse about the garden, allowing it to lie 
long enough to dry, then have a bonfire. 
From all the fence corners clean out long 
grass, weeds and bushes, for they all harbor 
enemies of the garden. The wild cherry trees

Burn the year’s accumulation of rubbish. It is best 
done on a damp day and when the wind will carry 
the sparks away from the buildings 
aiways have an abundance of tent cater- 
pillars. Cut down the trees, and throw them 
on to the fire. 
All the refuse left from last summer’s 
crops should be collected and burned. It 
will mean cleaner crops next year. 
Gather the asparagus tops, and burn them, 
for they are liable to be more or less infected 
with rust—the worst enemy asparagus has. 
Most people leave the potato tops lying 
on the ground where they grew. This 
furnishes an excellent home during the winter 
for the potato beetle. Better collect and 
burn them. 
Clean up the herbaceous borders before 
mulching. Cut off the old flowering tops 
of all such perennials, as the golden rod, 
Michelmas daisies and sneezeweeds. If 
left on the plants they give the border a very 
untidy appearance; they are of no further 
use to the plants and help to harbor insects. 
November is an excellent time to prune 
fruit trees and grape vines. Burn all the 
prunings. Ge ik
