They will flower continuously if the blossoms are kept picked. Hardy violets can be forced into bloom in the house. A chunk of frozen earth containing a plant or two may be taken from a violet bed, potted, and placed in a cool, sunny window. Remove the mulches from snow­ drops and crocuses so that the shoots can come through. Tulips, daffodils, and other bulbs should be kept lightly covered to keep the sun off the plants as long as they are frozen. Uncover strawberry beds gradually. Keep the material removed from the I beds in the rows between the plants| to keep the berries from the earth. Begin a compost heap. Put all dead leaves, clippings from the lawn, wood ashes, etc., in the heap. Turn it occasionally and wet it down frequently. Lawn work should be done early to be most effective. First rake the lawn, then fertilize it. Reseed old lawns as soon as possible. Roll when slightly moist but not wet enough to pack. Mix in a few radish seeds when planting carrots, beets, parsnips, etc. The radishes will come up quickly and mark the rows for cultivation. Lilacs should be set out very early, because they are among the first shrubs to start growth. For large peony blooms, pick off the side buds when they are very small, leaving only the terminal bud| on each stalk. British airways STRATFORD - upon Avon HILTON Stay 2 weeks in deluxe!
