Compost your lawn clippings, 
vegetable tops and peelings, dry 
leaves and other vegetable matter 
for a rich source of humus and 
plant food. 
Make a pit or bin and throw the 
compost material into it, add a 
sprinkling of compost maker and 2 
inches of soil to each foot of vege- 
table matter. Repeat until pile in 
3 or 4 feet deep. Keep moist to 
promote bacterial action. 
In about 6 months the compost 
will be ready to use. Spread it on 
the garden as you would barnyard 
manure. Used with peat moss and 
commercial fertilizer, compost is 
a really important aid to good 
gardening.

TRELLISES AND SCREENS can do wonders in improving the appearance of 
your garden. Also they provide a good excuse for planting some of the lovely vines 
that are so attractive: Sweetpeas, Morning Glory, Cardinal Climber, and Climbing 
Nasturtiums for instance. Then of course, there are many woody vines such as 
Clematis, Jasmine, Wistaria, Roses that will appear to good advantage on a trellis. 
Berries and grapes often need the support of a trellis or a screen.

COLD FRAME AND HOME NURSERY. Very often the secret behind a garden that 
looks ‘‘just right’”’ is a small home nursery where the gardener grows a good selec- 
tion of plants that can be moved into the main garden when needed. A cold frame 
is most useful for starting plants early in the season. For best results place your 
cold frame and nursery in a sunny, sheltered position free from late frosts.

Water the seed bed thoroughly, 
but gently with a fine spray. A 
coarse spray or stream of water 
will wash the seed out of the soil. 
For this reason, when using an 
outdoor seed bed, it is well to have 
a cover available to place over the 
seed bed during rainy spells. This 
should be supported several inches 
over the seed bed to allow free 
circulation of air. 
Be sure to keep the seed bed 
moist. Excessive dryness will pre- 
vent germination.
