blooms. These should be taken off immediate- 
ly, even before planting. Usually no more 
blooms will form until the latter part of Au- 
gust, but if they do, it is best to pick them off. 
Even the blooms forming in latter August 
should be picked oft, if you want the best 
blooming plant later. 
Watering 
ITH most flowers, a good soaking once 
a week will be sufficient, but when you 
do water, remember to stay at it long enough 
to do some good. Many people sprinkle light- 
ly for ten or fifteen minutes, and think they 
have watered. Our advice is to water by the 
hour, not by the minute, and then allow a 
rest period between waterings. 
Too frequent watering, for long periods 
at a time, are inclined to make the soil soggy 
and wet, and the plants will not do well. Re- 
member that they require air underground. 
as well as water, and that is another reason 
why you should allow rest periods. But do 
give a thorough soaking while you are at it. 
Azaleamums and Carnations in_partic- 
ular, do not like too much water. Ordinarily, 
rainfall will take care of them very nicely, 
excepting in periods of drouth. Phlox also 
are inclined to suffer from being deluged too 
frequently.
