HOW TO GROW THEM 

We are against the use of peat moss for 
a top-of-the-ground mulch, excepting as not- 
ed below, as it draws moisture from the soil 
when used on the top, and prevents its use 
by the plants. 
A peat moss mulch will definitely benefit 
Violets and Bleeding Hearts. For others, bet- 
leave the peat moss mulch alone unless 
it is kept continually moist. 
Diseases 
RDINARILY, the best way to control 
diseases is to keep your garden clean. 
We would like to emphasize that. You are 
nine steps out of ten toward a disease-free 
garden if you keep it free of w eeds, and will 
have very little to worry about. 
For a period of a very few weeks 
after planting, you can hoe and culti- 
vate as advised earlier, but after you 
have stopped hoeing, then the only 
thing you can do is to pull the weeds. 
But if you do good work early in the 
season, keeping weeds down, you will 
not have much trouble later. Weeds 
are inclined to germinate early; when 
they are destroyed early, you will have 
only stragglers to cope with later. 
OWEVER, we will treat diseases 
im egeneral.e) Theres, are. three 
classes of diseases that may appear in 
your garden, as follows: 
(1). FUNGUS DISEASES. These 
usually show themselves by the appear- 
ance of brown spots or other discolora- 
tion of the foliage, leaf spot being the 
most common.
