Clean the pots well before using and if they are new set them in water for a few hours. In repojting, use pots just one size |Harger than before; put in some brok- en bits of crocks for drainage, then about one inch of soil over the brok- en bits and press firmly. Take the plant to be repotted and shake away all or most of the old soil. Then set it in the pot as at Fig 2. and press the soil firmly all around the sides until within one inch of the top of the pot. WHITE STAR DOMINION LINE A HOTBED WILL ASSIST YOU TO HAVE AN EARLY 1 at By i f to- ? i Hotbeds are easily made and if you have no proper frame you can use an old window for a substitute. To make a hotbed you get fresh horse manure, and heap up a bed about two as you make it; then set the frame on top and put good soil inside the frame in which to grow the seed. After this you water the bed and set on the glass sash. It is generally ready for sowing three days later. This will need to be covered on cold nights with sacks, and manure should be heaped up around the sides of the frame, as shown at Fig. 12. - You can use the frame for grow- All seeds should be on hand now, [108 lots of things besides vegetable Perennials sown now on a . | £2 .

You cut the tubers as at Fig. 12, and lay the pieces on a hot-bed to make shoots, which are pulled away as at Fig. 7, to make new plants. Are you going to do any grafting? Now is the time to do this. Split- grafting is shown at Fig. 10 and Fig, 11. Clons are made from young wood, Fig. 9, and fitted into the cleft, which is opened with the grafting knife, as shown at Fig. 11, to set in the cions, after which the exposed parts are waxed over with grafting wax. The wax is warmed, and ap- plied with a brush. Do not forgét to keep the bark of stock and clon in line, or the union cannot take place. It is time now to plant your early potatoes before they are planted out- side. Just place them in shallow boxes, in the cellar, near the light, and you will get them micely sprout- ed by planting time. See Fig. 8.
