Every Day in My Garden 



TWENTY-SECOND DAY 



Cultivate the Corn. Put grass clippings under 

 and about the Strawberries as a mulch. As 

 the Lima Beans grow, twine the tendrils up 

 the poles ; hoe them frequently. 



TWENTY-THIRD DAY 



The Celery, which was planted in late Feb- 

 ruary and transplanted into flats in late April ^ 

 should now be put in the open ground. Cut 

 off the roots one-half inch from the base and 

 some of the leaves ; plant two inches apart in 

 a bed, each row eighteen inches apart, so that 

 the cultivator can be run through. Keep 

 them free from weeds until July 1st, when 

 they are put in their permanent place. A 

 thousand plants is not excessive for an ordin- 

 ary family. 



TWENTY-FOURTH DAY 



Hoe the Tomatoes. Since the annuals can 

 not all be planted on the first day, from time 

 to time work should be done on them.
