THE FLOWER GARDEN
The month of May offers splendid opportunities for spring flowering. Cinerarias make a fine show and will stand being planted under trees and in shaded positions. Plants should be set 18 in. apart and 2 ft. between the rows.
Prepare those rose beds for new arrivals next month, cut away any old dead wood and if possible apply a good mulch of cow manure.
Cyclamen plants can now be planted out into their permanent positions. Well-rotted manures and bone dust should be mixed with the soil. Plant summer flowering sweet peas in well trenched ground. When they make their appearance watch tho young shoots do not get nipped off by the slugs and snails. Plant the following seeds in pans or boxes and cover with a sheet of glass: Pansy nemesia, cinerarias, calliopsis, Iceland poppy, carnations, antirrhinum. Sow outside in sheltered borders: Virginian stock, mignonette, alyssum, candytuft, and linana.
