In this way one becomes familiar with the steady improvement plant breeders 'and experimenters are continually making. Old favorites among the flowers and vegetables have been wonder- fully. improved in color or quality and what is of great importance to Canada there are far hardier sorts today than were in existence a few years ago. As a result of this new hardiness it is now possible to grow such tender things as garden corn, mel- ons, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. in areas where the old strains would not have had a chance. And the same applies to many formerly ten- der flowers, When Soil is Right Technical people have. various scientific tests for determining when the soil is ready for forking and planting, but the old gardener simply takes a walk over it. If the soil is muddy and sticks to his boots then he finds other jobs in- doors. But if the Soil is damp but doesn't squeeze tightly together into a ball it is just right to cultivate. And this rule holds good whether the winter snows have just gone or after a heavy summer shower. The Secret of Transplanting Whether it is a tiny plant or a i0 foot tree, in transplanting the same' basic rules apply. The main thing is to guard against the roots getting dried oui. Keep them moist and do not expose to the air. All plants should be set in the earth a little deeper each time they are moved. Soil, which should be as rich and fine as possible, is press ed firmly about the roots. Water well after transplanting, and in the case of big shrubs or trees keep the soil moist for a few weeks. With small things like bedding plants a little shade for the first few days will help, and it is best to do the HILLSIDE FLOOR SERVICE Floors Laid,' Sanded and Finished RUBBER, MASTIC and MARBOLEUM TILE ' Also BATTLESHIP LINOLEUM 296 Hillside -- Phone S47M transplanting In the evening or on a cloudy day. A Cutting Garden A corner of the vegetable garden or some place at the back of the lawn is often set aside to grow flowers especially for indoor bou- quets. When a large supply of blooms is wanted frequent cutting leaves the regular borders a bit shy. Most, flowers suitable for cutting purposes will thrive on the same sort of cultivation that the veget- ables get, Certain flowers, indeed, like gladioli, sweet peas and others of which the faliage is not very at- tractive, are best grown with the vegetables. Covering Up In place of fences or walls one can use growing screens and even the fence or wall will look more attractive if partially hidden in this way. There are all sorts of planting material available for this purpose. It will be listed in any good catalogue. The perennial types are well known. Many people do not realize that one can get quite good and quick results from an- nuals too. Dahlias, ornamental sun flowers, cosmos, spider plants are only some of many things that will reach three or four feet in height in a few weeks. And there are quick- growing vines, too, like scarlet run- ner beans, sweet peas, hops and morning glories.

HAMILTON Botanist, Niagara Parks Commission A few days ago, I made a brief visit to a large commercial nursery. If the number of parked cars, the constant stream of customers, and the wide variety of plant materials being purchased can be taken as criteria, then I would say that spring horticulture fever has broken out with a vengeance. In fact, there are good indications for assuming that 1950 may be a record year for home garden planting and improve- ment. Few plants are more in demand at this season than roses. If you are thinking of setting out some roses this spring, I would suggest that you get at it now while there is still a good choice of varieties in stock. Early planting is a recom= mended practice because most roses are lifted in autumn and stored during the winter. In the cold months this presents no problem, but when warm weather comes, plants may deteriorate unless cold storage facilities are available. This is another good reason for buying | and planting at an early date. 'When you receive your plants, get them into the ground as quickly as possible. If you can't proceed with planting immediately, heel in the plants in a sheltered spot outdoors. This is done by making a shallow trench in which the roots of the| plants are placed before being cov- | ered with earth, When you are ready | | to move them to their permanent | sites, put the roots in a pail of SLIVERS and « + And here's one which, with a few repairs, will moke you @ very comfortable home. 53 ALBERT ST. ir COMPANY ree J ERNIEC.

Such precautions will prevent desic- cation of the underground parts. A good deal of the popularity of roses stems from their ability to survive under a wide range of gar- den conditions. I am of the opinion that a gmeat deal of nonsense has been written about soil preparation apd the fussy requirements of these plants. In truth, if you have soil that will grow the common vege- tables, annuals or perennials, you have a medium that is suitable for roses. Of course, heavy, sticky clay should be lightened by mixing in sand or coal ashes; light sandy types should be improved by adding compost or well-rotted manure. Like most other plants, roses re- quire good drainage and the proper exposure. If you feel that your soil is too wet, place a layer of gravel or cinders on the bottom of the planting tole, then cover this with loam or a mixture of compost and soil. They like full sun, but will do well when this is limited to half the day. Most important is the attention | the specimen receives at the time of planting. The hole in which it is to | be placed should be about 15 inches deep and 18 inches wide. This will give you ample room in which to spread the roots. If the plant is set out with its roots doubled or bunch- ed together ,its development will be definitely retarded. Pruning of stems and roots should be carried cut at transplanting time. Any broken or crushed roots should be clipped off, otherwise they may decay. Above ground parts should be reduced in order to compensate for the lack of absorbing rot hairs, To this 'end, cut Hybrid Teas to about 6 inches; climbers to 15 to 18 inches. The depth of planting should ap- proximate that at which the specie men was grown in the nursery. Roughly speaking, the swelling as the crown of the plant where bud- ding was done should be at or just a little below the surface of the ground. When the plant is in position in the hole, use your fingers to work the loose soil in around the roots. When they are fully covered, tramp the earth firmly into position. Un- less you attend to this, the roots may be surrounded by air pockets instead of soil--a condition that hinders normal root development, When the hole 1s nearly filled, add water, which will promote the settling of the soil and moisten the roots. If the soil is piled up around the stem for a few weeks, it will assist in reducing transpiration and aid the plant in getting established. When the buds begin to break, this mounded soil should be removed. brighten your home with color Enjoy the fresh beauty and charm of walls painted with Solidex! i's an oil paint, so washes safely.
