SOME SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS 



Late in February the past year some 

 dahlia tubers were sent me unexpectedly, 

 so the only thing to do was to immedi- 

 ately plant them in the open ground. The 

 bed was spaded about twenty inches and 

 a good layer of manure from the horse 

 stable put in ; over this some soil and 

 then the tubers which were covered with 

 soil, then a layer of the manure, then soil 

 to the top. That was all that was done 

 for them except staking in the summer. 

 They grew five feet high and blossomed 

 from July sixth until frost came. A good 

 way to protect seeds sown in the open 

 ground or plants just set out is to make 

 several frames of lath any size desired and 

 cover with newspapers or cheap muslin ; 

 newspapers can be renewed often and the 

 frames last for years. To keep track of 

 each plant I write the name or initial let- 

 ters in insignificant letters on the pot of 

 each plant or bulb. For outdoor labels I 

 use short Strips of tin, marking the name 

 deeply. They are everlasting, or nearly 

 so.

[ The most durable out - door labels that you 

 could use would be strips of zinc. Write plainly 

 the name of the plant with lead pencil. Try a few 

 of these and see how long ,hey will last.] 



RAISE YOUR OWN PLANTS. 



In March I sowed seeds for chrysanthe- 

 mums, heliotropes, cineraria, carnations 

 and geraniums. I took my soil from be- 

 neath my currant bushes, sifted it in a 

 shallow box and smoothed it nicely, then 

 sowed my seeds and sprinkled a very 

 little soil over them. I laid a piece of 

 cloth over them, sprinkled it with water 

 and kept the soil moist and in a warm
