JULY NOTES. 



There is hardly a month in the year 

 when there is not plenty of work for 

 the flower grower. This is the month 

 in which to start seed of pansies for 

 fall flowers. Sow your pansy seed 

 thinly in shallow boxes, and keep well 

 watered; do not allow to dry out at 

 any time. The seed will germinate in 

 two weeks' time if given sufficient 

 moisture. When large enough to 

 transplant give a cool, shady situa- 

 tion, rich, loamy soil, and moisture, 

 and keep well worked about the roots, 

 and in September, October and late 

 into November they will give an 

 abundance of their bright, velvety 

 blossoms. If grown in pots or boxes, 

 they can be kept in pit and will give 

 you flowers most of the winter. 



I sow my poppy and petunia seed 

 the last of this month, and they are 

 up and ready to bloom early in the 

 spring. In saving seed, if pods burst 

 before seed ripens, I tie a thin muslin 

 rag around pods and thus secure seed 

 that would be lost.

PUTS. 



Put charcoal in the bottom of your 

 flower crocks. Keeps the soil pure 

 and sweet. 



Put rusty nails about your be- 

 gonias, petunias and asters. The color 

 will be much brighter. 



Put cow manure in a crock, half-full, 

 fill with garden soil; plant your moon- 

 vine seeds on the top, cover lig'htly, 

 and every seed will give you a vine. 



Put an onion (sliced) at the root of 

 your English ivy. You'll never be 

 sorry. 



Put one teacup strong tobacco tea 

 in a gallon of water. Sprinkle cucum- 

 bers or chrysanthemums and kill the 

 black lice.
