Fill in the vacant spaces in the garden with some of the newer an¬ 
nuals. Rugged young plants which have been carefully hardened are 
available at our green-houses. 
Tree and shrubs which were set this spring need an abundance of 
water to encourage the formation of new roots. Continue the watering 
at intervals throughout the summer whenever a prolonged dry spell 
threatens. 
If the fruit trees are carrying an abundant crop it is wise to thin 
them out. The same bulk of fruit of a vastly superior quality will 
result. In most cases such thinning will do away with the necessity 
of supports for the limbs. 
The Strawberry bed should have a good application of strong liquid 
food before applying the protective mulch. This will give the plants an 
extra push to produce large fine flavored fruit. Straw or Pine needles 
make the best mulches. Never use common hay as this type of pro¬ 
tection is too full of the seeds of ‘a number of things’. 
When your Sweet Alyssum becomes straggling ‘bob’ it about one 
inch from the ground. It will soon produce new flowering stalks and the 
second crop of flowers will be even thicker than the first. 
Japanese Anemonaes in Pink and White are very lovely against the 
dark green of Arborvitaes or Cypress. They are equally good in a 
cool blue vase in a sunny window, if you are not acquainted we’d be 
pleased to show them to you at the nursery. 
Trim your hedges now to stimulate the under growth which makes 
them dense. If you have a long hedge, one that takes an eternity to 
trim you will be interested in the new electrical clippers which run from 
the house current. They will do a truly splendid job on both the top 
and sides in half the time. 
Have you ever used your camera as an aid to gardening ? Snapshots 
taken at various angles will often show up weak spots in the garden 
composition that are only sensed as you study the garden itself. Try 
taking some for study this winter. Use panchromatic film to get the 
true color values of your flowers. 
It is sound practice to pinch the tips of bedding plants frequently. 
This makes them more bushy and compact as well as stimulating 
freer flowering. 
Many plants are still available for planting in your garden. Potted 
Roses already in full growth will give you flowers in an unbelievably 
short time. Potted foliage plants are also splendid fill-ins. 
With the advent of hot weather, weeds take on a new lease of life. 
Cultivate your garden regularly and as early in the morning as possible, 
the hot mid-day sun will do the rest. 
If the plants in the window boxes are becoming leggy withhold water 
for a few days and trim them back. When the soil is nearly dry for 
an inch or more from the surface give a generous application of water 
followed by a goodly quantity of liquid manure. 
Outstanding industries of Falmouth seventy-five years ago were: Whaling, salt¬ 
making ^and farming. Today the summer recreational business is the leader,^ cran¬ 
berries and strawberries are outstanding crops, and the shell fish industry is very 
active.
