Most of them are far too inclined to tear out the first fine day and plant every single flower anid -vegetable seed they have pur- chased. Sometimes they even eplant in the ramn and very often dlong before the soil is really fit %to work. The experienced gar- dener, however, knows that there are safe ways of rushing the season, little tricks that will tproduce flowers and vegetables j perhaps a week or ten daî's ahead of the fellow next door. *But they don't get these early things simply hy going out and planting too soon and in the mud. 'lhey practise approved short cuts. Take such really warm wca- ther things as tomatoes, melons or cucumbers among the veget,- Iables or some of the more teni- der flowers. The experienccd gardeners will risk a small rplanting of these extra early. àperhaps ten days or two weeKs before the main plantings. But these early rows or plants will be protected for the first weeksl 1 when there is danger of late frost. They will be covered with special wax paper covers, or panes of glass or perhaps if one doesn't mind extra trouble simn- ply covered loosely with new- papers at night. Then too, we may hurry growth with extra fertilizer or with specially prepared soil or for a few extra early tomatocs or petunias or we may get ex- tra big started plants and for the first few weeks keep pro- tected. Avoid Ganibling These are the only safe ways for rushing the sea- sons. Anything else is pure gamble and if we ac- tually soxv seeds or set out plants in wet soggy soil instead of waiting for it to dry to the crumbling stage, then we are simply wasting time and ma-i teniais. Too many gardeners plant too soon and they quit planting too soon. Actually if wve want to have flowers and vegetables al summer and faîl, the thing to do is to plant part of our seed Mrs. A. Herbert Addresses WA Evening Aux. St. Paul's Evenmng W.A. held their meeting April 3 with A6 members and four visitors pre- sent. The W.A. are catering- to an Orange dinner at the1 Lions Centre April 28, and arei also holding a bake sale May. 1l in Osborne's Sport Shop. Scugog group being in charge of the meeting had as theiri guest speaker, Mrs. A. C. Her-E bert of St. John's Church. She spoke on her experiences in the Arctic and described the land and people. It took one month to travelc fnom Montreal to Port Harri- son and then on to Baffin 1 Island. Mrs. Herbert said the( women were ciever at dress-v making and the men at mech-1 anical things, and have no feirJ of anything. Mrs. Mitchell thanked Mrs.C Herbent, also Mrs. K. Hull for her solo. "Open the Gates of t, the Temple." Lunch was served. at the conclusion of the meet- ing. 1 just as soon as the ground is ready and then make at least two more plantmngs about a fortnight apant. This spreads the risk and also the pleasure. Composts Every garden should have 'a compost heap, the experts like to tell us, but they neyer ex- plain how we can squeeze this valuable asset into a tiny gar- den where we are alreamy cramped for space. A compost heap is valuable and if thene is room, we sbould have one down at the back by ahl means. But il can be a bit of trouble and mess where the backyard is smalE In that case, the tbing to do is simply to bury weeds, grass clippings, and anything else uhat will rot quickly be- tween thé rows of vegetables or flowers. We do not bury deeply, but with a few inches of soil. Anything that will rot bas some fertilizer value and it tends to keep the soil open. If we have a bit more roomn, then we should bave a negular compost heap. Hcre we simpiy pile in shallow layerg anytbingi ibat wvill rot quickly and we cover with soul to help the rot- iing and keep away flies and neigbbouns' dogs. Rotting or breaking down can be speeded by adding commercial fentilizer and possibly somne of the special chemical prepanations to assisi nature in the breaking down process. The top of the h'eap should be kept fiat to absorb nain and prevent drying out and in dry weather il is a good plan to soak occasionally with the bose. Afier a few months in the compost heap all this refuse will break down into excellent fine garden soul. Low Cost But Vital Good vegetable or flower seed costs but a tew cents per packet but it is the most vital factor in gardening operatiorîs. Without good seed, especialiy suitable for Canadian condi - tions and climate, it doesn't. make any difference bow much we cultivate, spray, fertilize and water. Without good seed we can't possibly have a suc- cessful ganden. HAMPTON Mr. and Mrs. Herb Rogers, Bpwmanville, with Mn. and Mrs. Ken Cavenly, Sunday.
