Canadian Garden Service No hurry -- It is impossible to over emphasize the importance of the gardener. taking his time when it comes to the actual sowing of seeds and setting out of plants. There is no hurry about this busi- néss and the more it is spread out the longer the feast of garden fresh vegetables and the display of bloom. In most parts of Canada one can go on sowing flowers and vegeta- bles right up to the first of July with excellent prospects of success. And in some of the warmer areas it is quite possible to sow such things as beans, corn, carrots, beets, spinach and lettuce every two wee'/; well into July. The main thing is to spread out the planting season so that the har- vest and pleasure and satisfaction will also be spread out. So often one sees a beautiful display of bloom in July and some wonderful vegetables only to find a few weeks later that practically everything is finished. With a bit of help for nature in the way of watering, fer- tilizer and cultivation, the garden can be made to produce an abund- ance in colour and top quality veg- etables right up to the first frost and later. Transplanting -- Some. people seem to think that there is a mys- tery about transplanting that only those with a green thumb, what- ever that may be, are successful in moving plants or trees or shrubs. This is a lot of hocus po- cus. All that is needed is to keep in mind a few important points. First, in moving anything wheth= er it is petunias out of a flat or a three year old maple or apple tree, don't. expose the roots to the air for a moment longer than is ab- solutely necessary. Sun and air will kill roots, that's why nature puts them below ground. Second, spread out the roots and cover with fine soil and press down firmly. Third, water well and keep moist for a day or two in the case of small plants to several weeks if we are planting a big shrub, vine or tree. And a bit of stimulant in the way of liquid fertilizer will al- ways help at transplanting time. Also, if possible, do the trans- planting in the evening or on a cloudy day and shade from the sun for, a little while. Also with big nursery stock like trees, stake and tie firmly so that the wind will not whip around and loosen and let air in around roots. Wanted or Weeds -- Most people soon become familiar with the ap- pearance of a new seedling plant. It is rather important that they do so, otherwise they may find it difficult to distinguish from thriv- ing weeds. It is not good practice to wait until seeds have sprouted and the plants wanted have grown up, before thinning and weeding. If we do, we: are going to have a jungle and not a garden. Learn te know the flower and vegetable plants from the weeds and get rid of the latter quickly. All seedlings have two sets of leaves, the first are seed leaves, simple affairs that usually have no resemhlance to the permanent leaves that follow. By glancing down the vegetable row or at the more or less regular clumps where the flower seeds were sown, one will notice that there is more or less a pattern of the same kind of plants and these Left to right, Robin Valentine, troop stand at attention before the Sports day which took place at the ' a Emerson Cote and Richard Adams of the Haileybury ist Cub tent they helped erect for the first annual Northern Ontario Cub New Liskeard beach last Saturday afternoon. Whitewash That Won't Flake =. New developments in structures have solved many farm building problems, but the problem of cleanliness is common to all farm buildings, old or new. And one of the best aids to cleanliness -- and an easy way of increasing the amount of light available -- is good old-fashioned whitewash. But if you've run into trouble with whitewash chalking and rub- bing in your stable, take O.A.C. engineer H. E. Wright's advice: use a stiff brush and a wet cloth or hose on the old whitewash be- fore applying the new. of course are the ones from the seed sown and the ones we want to protect and grow. With larger seeds, beans for instance. which| we sow evenly two to four inches apart, the plants come from them come spaced in this way and we know exactly where to look for them when we start to weed or cultivate. That is one very good reason for straight rows and care- ful sowing in the "vegetable gar- den. Watch out for bugs. Next week we will discuss control. PASE ee re Explains Wright: "The brush re- moves the old scales and flakes and the washdown takes off the dirt and grease. The surface should be damp when you're applying the whitewash so that (like concrete) it will dry slowly; otherwise chalk- ing and rubbing will occur." He suggests putting on the whi wa wash with either a brush or spray . ** er. Use a wide brush and don't at- tempt "brushing out'? as' with paints. Lay on a thin coat so that it dries opaque. If you intend to use a sprayer, stir in the white- wash through a few layers of cheesecloth or a strainer to take. out coarse flecks which might plug the sprayer jet. Clean the sprayer when you're finished. For a mixture that will cover . 200 square feet per gallon, try Wright's system: First, make up a cream of 1 bag of hydrated lime and 7 gallons of water several days before you're ready to work. Next, dissolve 6 pounds of salt in three gallons of boiling water and mix the solutions when they're both cold. Then stir in three gallons of Portland cement into the final mix- ture.
