Every Day in My Garden 



TWENTY-SECOND DAY 



Cut seed potatoes, one or two eyes to a piece, 

 preparatory to planting on April 8th. 



TWENTY-THIRD DAY 



TWENTY-FOURTH DAY 



Plant new Hardy Roses, Blackberries and 

 woody plants which have been ordered from 

 the Nurseryman. 



To prepare a bed for new roses, take out the 

 soil to the depth of twelve inches, place in it 

 four or five inches of well rotted manure. 

 Then replace the soil. After the bed has 

 settled, plant in it the new roses, taking care 

 that no manure touches the roots. During 

 the entire summer keep all the roses covered 

 with a cool mulch, such as grass clippings. 

 Roses thrive best if planted where they are 

 shaded during a part of the day.
