oil limited canadian garden service by gordon lindsay smith as soon as possible in most parts of the country gardeners will have to content themselves largely with planning and dreaming and reading the seed catalogues until weather and soil really start to warm there is not a great deal of active work possible but there are a few jobs that could and should be clone fruit trees can be pruned and thinned and also the late blooming shrubs for the other kind it is usually best to wait until the flowering season is over one can also prepare hotbeds or flats for early sowing often too there is a spot in the garden where frost leaves early and the soil dries sufficiently to sow sweet peas sweet peas to do well sweet peas must go in early if one follows directions on the seed packet success is guar anteed that is unless we live in that very limited area of canada where summer heat and especially heat at night is excessive dig a trench about a foot or so deep tramp in some wellrotted man ure leaves etc to off with two or three inches of the finest and richest soil available and plant in this about three inches apart let the weather gradually fill in the trench to encourage deep root growth provide the necessary climbing material strings or brush and when the plants start to bloom clip daily lawn work early too lawn grass is another plant that likes to get started early one cant sow too soon in the spring some people even broadcast over the last snow and as it melts it carries the seed down into the soft earth on a sloping place of course this might carry seed away good grass seed usually comes in packages and it consists of a blend of several different grasses some of these germinate quickly pro viding some color and also the necessary protection for the later more permanent sorts for shady locations one should get a special mixture either for patching or sown liberally and lightly raked in like most plants grass will appreciate good soil and on occasional application of fertilizer new grass is easily pulled out so one should make sure the mower is sharp hotbeds and window plats where a large quantity of start ed plants are needed one can save expense by growing in a hotbed it is best to get a government bulle tin which will give the details of construction and maintenance briefly the affair is simply a bed of rich soil mounted on a layer of horse manure or something similar that will generate heat and the whole protected by a rough wooden frame on which is a sloping window or one can use a shallow box three or four inches deep fill with a mixture of fine soil sand and leaf mould until seeds germ inate cover lightly with cloth or blothing paper water through this and dont let soil dry out 701 delegates to orange grand lodge over 700
