The severe drought this sum- 
mer has upset our fall planting 
schedule. Usually turnips are 
planted about July 27th; Chinese 
cabbage about August 10th, and 
Mustard in September. We have 
had rains on time, but not enough 
water fell to thoroughly moisten 
the ground for seed sowing. My 
tub and dishpan gardens served 
very well early in the season, but 
did not have enough water for 
mid-summer use. They are practi- 
cal if space is limited and plenty 
of water available.

HARDY ROCK GARDEN 
PLANTS 
Hardy Sedums. All Sedums I call 
hardy can survive 15 below zero 
without protection. Some of them 
are hardy in the sub-Arctic. Most 
are fine for rock garden plants. 
Last year my Sempervivums made 
almost no increase. ‘This year, 
most are hatching “chicks”, and 
when my backlog of orders left 
over from last year, are filled, I 
hope I’ll have a number of varie- 
ties of hardy Semps to offer. This 
is a rock garden plant par excel- 
lence. — Most of the dwarf plants 
listed under other heads, and many 
of the wildlings, are also good for 
rock gardens. — 
I have a few plants of Alum Root 
to spare. This is a fine rock garden 
plant and also good as a pot plani.
