When the garden seems dry, water in the evening if possible. If it 
must be watered before three o’clock in the afternoon, it is wise to 
arrange the hose so that no water falls on the leaves. Drops of water on 
the leaves act as lenses and often focus the sun’s rays sufficiently to 
burn and discolor the leaves of tender plants. 
When planting, dig the hole larger than seems essential. This insures 
soft, friable earth for the new rootlets to grow in. Water generously. 
Two or three families of birds around the garden are an investment in 
utility and beauty. Some of the berried shrubs and trees, such as Elder¬ 
berry, Mountain Ash, Mulberry and Indian Currant, with the aid of bird 
houses, will make them feel at home. 
Most garden flowers cut for the house will last a great deal longer if 
the stems are plunged full length in lukewarm water for an hour before 
arranging in vases. After cutting Poppies, sear the ends of the stems. 
This seals in the juice and adds to the lasting qualities. 
The ants which are often found on Peony buds are beneficial. They 
eat the sticky substance which has protected the bud through its 
younger stages and make it easier for it to open. 
A garden game: Number your Hybrid Tea Roses consecutively. Have 
a chart in an available place with corresponding numbers and the 
variety names marked on it. Put down a score for each bloom. Next 
spring you will have a dependable guide for buying replacements. 
Does your garden take a vacation in the fall? New Hybrid Chrysanthe¬ 
mums have been produced extending the season from early September 
to frost. These hybrids, a cross between the old familiar hardy Chrysan¬ 
themum and the Korean Chrysanthemum, are available in a wide range 
of colors. 
It is not too late to plant Roses. They are still available in pots. If 
these potted plants are leaved out when you plant them, a paper over 
them for the first few days will prevent wilting. 
The cement in new walls is often repellent to English Ivy. If you have 
this trouble, a daily moistening of the surface will probably be the solu¬ 
tion to your problem. Plenty of support is also essential until the Ivy 
clings by itself. 
Chewing gum is a perfect device for training Ivy. After it has been 
chewed until thoroughly elastic, pinch off small pieces and press gently 
over the vine. It will stay in place until well after the vine has attached 
itself. 
The delicate colorings of rock garden plants are enhanced by accents 
of dark green. Such accents are supplied by Dwarf Junipers, Dwarf 
Hinoki Cypress and Dwarf Alberta Spruce.
