Under June’s Sunny Skies 
T HE other day I asked one of my 
garden-making friends what she 
did in her garden in June, and, being 
somewhat of an epicure, after thinking 
hard for a minute or two, her answer 
was: “Why, I just eat figs.” Writing 
this in the shade of my own fig-tree, 
where the shadows from the thick, green 
leaves fall soft and cool, and, remember¬ 
ing the delicious sweetness and delicate 
flavor of the figs that grow in our South¬ 
ern gardens, I think I should like to fol¬ 
low her example. But this is too often 
what we do — sit with folded hands and 
enjoy the fragrance and beauty of the 
spring shrubs and flowers and fruits, and 
watch them quietly fade away, and then 
wonder why there are no blossoms later 
in the summer. It is largely upon the 
June work that the blossoming glory of 
the midsummer garden depends. 
It is not yet too late to plant the heat- 
resisting seeds of some of the hardier 
annuals. Even though the zinnias, an¬ 
tirrhinums, agefatums, petunias, annual 
helianthus and delphiniums, as well as 
salvias and verbenas, are blooming all 
around us, if I had done no planting be¬ 
fore this, I should go ahead now. 
June is not the planting time in the 
South, nor is it a time when much trans¬ 
planting can be done, yet, if the borders 
are to be kept full of color and fra¬ 
grance, it is time to keep at work. It is 
the time when the bare spots must be 
filled in with plants from those places 
where there are green things growing in 
such abundance that they are too thick to 
thrive. It is easy enough to find among 
the groups of annual seedlings many that 
are small enough to move, and, by judi¬ 
ciously slipping them in here and there, 
it is possible to fill out the garden and 
cover all the bare spots. In doing this, 
careful planting is advisable, for, unless 
the seasons are very unpropitious, the 
chances are that most of the annual plant¬ 
ings will remain in bloom until mid- 
November, and possibly until December. 
In doing this transplanting as tardily 
as this it is wise to choose a day after a 
rain, and to be sure to clip off some of 
the larger leaves. If this is done, and 
the plants are protected from the sun in 
the middle of the day for a few days, 
they will soon take root and grow vigor¬ 
ously.
