p y on top to settle the plants. If water is used at all it 
should be used freely and the wet surface immediately covered with dry soil 
about the plants. 
Waterina The best time t0 water plants is early in the morning or 
a in the evening. Water may be given to the roots at any 
time, but should never be sprinkled over the leaves while 
they are exposed to the bright sunshine. If watering a plant has been com¬ 
menced, continue to supply it as it is needed or more injury than good will 
result from what has been given. One copious watering is better than many 
sprinklings. The ground should always be stirred with a hoe or rake before 
it becomes so very dry as to cake or crack.
