SEVENTH DAY 



It is worth while, as far as possible, to winter 

 over the annuals as it obviates planting seeds 

 in the spring. But it is well to sow seeds also, 

 as the new seeded plants give finer blooms. 

 Columbine is another annual which lives 

 through the winter, and Forget-me-nots al- 

 ready mentioned. 



EIGHTH DAY 



NINTH DAY 



Cover the Oriental Poppies. Lightly cover 

 the Parsley and Thyme. 



Lilies can be planted in pots at this time 

 for blooming in late summer. Buy Lilium 

 Speciosum Rubrums and Albums, also Aura- 

 tums. Place each bulb in a five inch pot, in 

 sifted coal ashes, no soil. Place the pots in a 

 pit dug in the ground about eighteen inches, 

 deep. Cover by degrees with more coal ashes. 

 After hard freezing, heap some soil on top of 

 the ashes. Early in April, take them up. See 

 work for April.
