The first week in june is an Ideal time for the planting of the Dahlia which being a late summer Flower ing subject is not so satisfactory in result if planted too Early. The growth of the shoots May be checked and the buds blighted by the lot and dry spells of weather that May be expected during july.

The veterans of the last Var know How to March How to use a Rifle and Are fully experienced As to emergencies.

A feature of the banquet at the Marlborough hotel with which the Winnipeg school of Art closed a pleasant term was the address to the students by principal l. L. Fitz Gerald. In a quiet but Apt and impressive talk. Principal Fitzgerald spoke about the necessity of Eulou raging an Art which we can understand an enjoy an Art which has at least oni of the requisites of great Art thu Appeal to the flow of common experiences. In his valedictory to the graduating class he wished them every Success and expressed the Hope that the three year training which they had acquired migh bring them pleasure and profit in the careers they had chosen. The said or. Fitzgerald finally must not esteem himself As Only a delicately attuned receptive instrument he must become a Workman again know the world draw and present it according to his knowledge and relate his experience with logic and Good the showing of a number of Nat ural coloured lantern slides was highly appreciated by the students. Brief analytical talks were Given on the chief merits of each. House plants May now be placed outdoors. They May be plunged into the Earth up to the top of the rims of the pots. Some varieties like coleus geraniums and begonias May be bedded out in a sunny Border or planted in porch or window boxes or in ornamental Lawn urns. June Days see the opening of the Battle on weeds. Go Over each bed at. Least once a week and destroy them. If not controlled the weeds will Rob the soil crowd and choke the Young plants if they mature they will spread countless seeds to cause future work for the Gardener. There is a great satisfaction and pleasure in contemplating a Garden free of weeds. Unsightly fences the late Gardener who wants a Sheet of color in Large Quantity will find nothing better than the annual flowering vines. Not Only Are they delicate Flowers of exceptional Beauty when viewed As single blooms but the mass effect on a ence or Wall is one of the most Beautiful sights anyone could wish or. If you have a backyard Fence a screened in Back porch or a Gar Ige at the Back of the lot they will Over it with blooms in Short order. The Twining habit of the morning glories makes them take hold of Mieir support at once and soon form a solid screen foliage spangled Vith the handsome Blue Rose and White chalices each morning. The Scarlet runner bean with to Brilliant blooms and its White varieties give other Fine materials or a Vine draped Fence. More Briliant is the Cardinal climber Al Jio ugh its foliage is not heavy enough to make the screen furnished by the Beans and morning Hories. The most striking Vine decoration easily grown will con Sist of the finer strains of japanese lorning glories with their wonder ully coloured and formed Flowers. They Are slower to germinate and lot As robust As the common morn no glories but once started make rapid growth. The hyacinth bean with purple Flowers is another handsome drapery. Most interesting of All and a great Delight to the children is the Gourd n its numerous varieties and color nos. A Gourd Fence will furnish a Novelty of great interest and the gourds will serve As playthings after the vines have been destroyed y Frost there is no excuse for caving a Bare Fence about a. Vege table Garden with the wealth of much a 4 inches spread of tree should a inches annual and perennial vines that May be employed to cover it. The tall nasturtiums with guiding hand to tie them in place will make a Brilliant Fence cover and furnish lavish material for Cut Ting for the House All summer. They do not need too Rich soil and Are one of the easiest of All vines to grow. Their Handicap is that they Lave no Means of climbing either by tendrils or by Twining and must be tied in place. They make a Long and vigorous growth. Setting out plants when setting out plants Many Amateur gardeners make the mis take of not making the Hole fit the Plant. As a Rule when new plants arrive the Ball of Root is from a pot therefore shaped like a Flower pot. In digging the Hole in the Garden one usually digs it a shaped. Con sequently when the Ball of Earth is set in the a shaped Hole the result is a misfit and leaves an air space around the new Plant. Unless this is carefully filled in Clear to the base of the Ball of Earth the roots May dry out and the Plant Droop and die. Take your trowel and. Carefully run it Down around the sides of the Hole until you Are sure the entire space is Well filled. Firm the soil All around and your Plant will be firmly held so its roots will take hold of the soil. To leave a Saucer like depression around newly set plants is a great help As then the water soaks directly to the feed roots. This week s hints Plant Cosmos along the fences and be ready to tie them up when they get a couple of feet High Cosmos have the falling habit when the winds hit them later in the season. Thin your Candy tuft if you wan Good spikes and plenty of Bloom. I won t give spikes if crowded. Thin All Root crops vigorously. I will pay in bigger and better vegetables.

Pinch off Flower buds before or immediately after transplanting also unwanted Side stems. If Yoi desire a branching Plant a piece should be nipped off the top Stem. Place a Pinch of nitrate of soda around each cabbage Plant. It is a great stimulant and ensures sturdy growth. Garden peas will appreciate a spraying of water in the evening after a hot Day. Continue to keep your Sweet pea Well watered. Dry roots mean trouble. Don t Sprinkle give them a Good soaking.

The washing not Only helps to keep them free of soot and grime but i clips to Cut Down evaporation from he leaves. A health mulch for evergreens hould cover the ground from about our inches from the trunk ree to four inches beyond the Pread of the branches. Have the mulch two or three inches or More n depth.
