Nothing is gained and sometimes much is lost fi by rushing the season, especially tin sowing seeds of flowers and ve- "getables. But one exception to this ule at,Jeast is nursery stock, that is shrubs, vines, trees and most of the two or three year-old peren- c= "nial plants. These are best planted : just. as soon as one can safely put a spade in the ground, while there is plenty of moisture in the soil, 'Tf for any reason we cannot plant right away, after this stock has "been bought, then we should "heel that is spread out and cover the roots with moist soil and keep covered until we can plant in per- / manent positions. Good nursery stock should be green looking, pliable and have a showing of live buds not too far ad- vanced. Holes for planting should be dug big enough to take the roots well spread out and also where the ground is poor, big enough to hold some fine and en- riched garden soil. The secret of success is to cover the roots well, press soil down firmly to exclude any air; and water well not only at planting but for the next three or four weeks. This is necessary tv encourage new growth. Remember They Will Grow Most people when planting trees, shrubs, or even what will eventual- ly be good sized annual flowers, seem to forget all about growth. As a result they crowd: things in: far too closely together and far too near sidewalks, walls and fences. Then when these shrubs or trees really start to develop they have to slash them back and make them look unsightly. 'Also if shrubs or trees are planted only 'a foot or two from the wall of the house, they are sure to die out. at the bottom and the main stem or trunk' will grow away at an angle from the wall seeking light. Shrubs that will reach five to eight feet at maturity need at least ten to twelve feet | between if they 'are to develop in | normal and beautiful fashion: .As for trees in the small city lot with a one storey house especially, big ones have no place at all, Far-bet- ter to select small sorts like the Mountain Ash, Japanese Maple or some of the many blossoming or- namentals and leave the big -fel- lows to the parks. . Make Sure It's For Canada We have a very distinct climate in Canada and in most places-a rather vigorous one. For that. rea- son the flower and vegetable seeds we sow must be especially selected for Canada. Something that may give wonderful results in England 'or the United States or the South Seas could be a flop here. When one selects seeds from a Canadian seed catalogue, one can be sure that that seed is suited to Canada, i that it has been field tested under actual Canadian: conditions. Records Will Add Interest Many people keep a regular pic- ture record of their flower gardens in colour. It will be interesting and pleasant next winter when-the garden is under snow and the mer- cury is down around zero, to sit and watch on the screen pictures taken a few months before. There is practical value as well. In these garden pictures' of spring, summer and fall, we see | what progress has been made at certain dates, in adding new col- ours, spreading out bloom and in the general progress of our land- } scaping. And even if 'we do not keep a picture record, a few rough sketches and a diary of planting dates, blossoming or harvests, will prove interesting as well as useful in settling many an argu- i ment. Don't get discouraged if you | haven't done*much yet. As we will f point out in more detail next week, | there is plenty of time. \> The Canadian Cancer Society eg organized in 1938 at the re- *quest of the Canadian Medical Association. One of its main func- tions is to teach Canadians that early diagnosis cf cancer depends on the early reporting of suspicious symptoms to a doctor. It also sup- ports cancer research and gives _assistance to cancer patients. The.
