Many of the rock garden plants can be potted now to use in the win¬ 
dow garden this winter. Sink the pots in the ground in some partly 
shaded out-of-the-way place and water frequently. Take them in the 
house after the first light frost. 
The grass clippings may be disposed of by placing them around the 
base of the hardy lilies. This maintains a cool soil condition essential to 
vigorous bloom next year. 
Look carefully around the garden, are there places here and there 
where a shrub could be planted to advantage? The following varieties are 
recommended for two reasons. They are good decorative shrubs and the 
birds like them. Arrowwood, Japanese Cranberrybush, Coralberry, 
Snowberry, Golden Dogwood, Elder. 
If you have not ordered your bulbs for fall planting, you should do so 
at once to avoid disappointment. Many of these bulbs are raised in 
Holland and Belgium, and when the stocks which are ordered in the 
summer are depleted, it is difficult to obtain more. 
Chrysanthemums, Boltonias, Japanese Anemones and fall Asters need 
heavy feeding now. Bone meal, sheep manure, as well as commercial 
fertilizers may be used. A light application of these to the perennial 
border is also advisable. Use care to prevent any of the commercial 
fertilizers or bone meal from coming in contact with the plants or leaves. 
Arborvitae usually hardens before the other Evergreens and can be 
moved any time now. Are you acquainted with the many types of this 
useful garden subject? There are many kinds at the nursery. 
If the foliage of Oriental Poppies seems yellow and sickly don’t worry, 
it is characteristic at this season. New leaves will replace the old late in 
the month or early in September. 
The old canes of Blackberries and Raspberries should be cut now. If 
allowed to remain they only increase the difficulty of harvesting the 
fruit another year. 
Sprinkle crystals of ammonium sulphate around the Rose-beds, as an 
eradicant for rose bugs. Several applications of this salt throughout the 
year will appreciably lessen this pest. 
Limbs of fruit trees which are bearing heavily should be propped up 
now. On limbs where the fruit is particularly crowded a thinning out will 
give you specimen fruit for the Garden Club fall show. 
Those Madonna Lilies and Oriental Poppies which you admired so 
much in June should be planted now. They need to make considerable 
growth before cold weather. Oriental Poppies are now available in a 
wide range of colors, varying from Mahogany through Orange and 
Salmon to White. 
Linnaeus (Carl von Linn'e) a Swedish botanist delighted in devising classifications 
for plants. He devised the system of Latin nomenclature in use today. This system 
makes possible the positive identification of a plant though , as in the case of the 
Goldenrod it may be known under as many as 50 common names.
