Can you always eat all that 

 you "can"? 



After the work of "canning" do you find 

 much of your fruit is spoiled? Then why 

 persist in using old-style, narrow-necked, 

 tin-topped, screw-capped jars? 

 That was the old way of "canning." The 

 new way, the easier, safer, better way is 

 called "jarring," preserving in the all-glass 



E-Z SEAL JARS 



Try putting up beets, beans, corn and 

 tomatoes for winter use. It is fun when 

 you use the E-Z Seal Jar. It has the sani- 

 tary all-glass cap — no metal at all. No 

 twisting and turning — the cap clamps with 

 a spring seal. It closes and opens with a 

 touch of the finger. And — your fruit keeps!

Toward the End of Summer 



TRANSPLANT cabbage and collards now in 

 order to have them for use this winter. If 

 you have no plants, get some from a reliable 

 dealer. Fertilize heavily after planting and keep 

 a close watch for cabbage worms which are usually 

 very troublesome at this time of the year. By 

 planting onion sets now you can have onions during 

 the late fall and winter. 



Sow pansy seed now so as to have large and 

 beautiful flowers early next spring. 



Hake another sowing of lettuce during the 

 month. In the middle part of Georgia it is as 

 hardy when planted in the open ground as cab- 

 bage, especially these varieties: Naumburger, 

 Wayahead, Big Boston, May King and Grand 

 Rapids. 



Another planting of bush beans can be made at 

 once; if you wait until the second week of Septem- 

 ber it will be too late. If you and your family 

 are fond of greens, sow mustard, kale, spinach, 

 Seven Top turnip and winter radish. 



Geraniums, begonias, cyclamen, primula, Chinese 

 primrose and other house plants that have been 

 outdoors during the summer may be repotted now 

 so that the roots will become reestablished before 

 the cold weather sets in. Of course, they need not 

 yet be taken into the house but may still be kept 

 out in the shade where they can get plenty of 

 fresh air until about the first of November. Be 

 sure to give them plenty of water but not too 

 much. 



Harvest Spanish peanuts if they are fully mature; 

 if the tops are tall they may first be cut off with a 

 mower which will improve the hay and make it 

 almost free from dirt. Also harvest corn during 

 the last of the month. 



Begin now to plant such bulbs as Madonna lily, 

 daffodils, calla lily, jonquils, hyacinths, and the 

 Spanish, English, and Japanese iris. Remember, 

 too, thit the iris needs a moist situation in order 

 to produce luxuriant bloom. The Japanese type 

 is also perfectly hard}- and is the largest and 

 probably the most beautiful. Plant them along 

 the edges and banks of ponds and streams. 



By sowing onion seed now in well prepared soil, 

 you can have some good onions one or two months 

 earlier than if the seed is not sown until the spring. 

 Our winters and springs are more favorable to their 

 growth than our summers, which have a tendency 

 to ripen the bulbs before they reach an extra large 

 size, especially in dry seasons. 



Cotton harvesting time is also at hand and an 

 effort should now be made to improve the quality 

 of the cotton by selecting good seed for next year. 

 Choose the plants that produce the largest amount 

 of lint and are free from disease. The first open 

 boils are preferred as they will produce early 

 plants. 



Begin preparations this month for a winter 

 pasture for hogs, cattle and poultry. Rye, rape, 

 and crimson clover are the most popular crops for 

 this purpose, although rye will furnish pasture 

 through the winter and will stand closer pasturing 

 than either rape or crimson clover. The latter is a 

 great soil enricher and prevents the soil from wash- 

 ing. A good plan is to divide the field by fences 

 into lots and turn the stock in from one lot to 

 another, thus having a continuous supply of green 

 feed throughout the winter months. You can 

 probably save enough in one fall and winter on 

 dry feed alone to pay for the cost of fencing.
