The Little Gardeners’ Calendar
In Mid-Winter or January, plan out your garden, drawing a map and filling in space.

A little later, in February, get the hotbed ready, and spray roses with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead, remembering it is a violent poison. Use one tablespoon to a quart of water. This will help prevent mildews and fungi.

In March, or even in February, study seed catalogue and order seeds.
Plant some seeds in the hotbed.
Prepare some of the out-door seed beds by spading and manuring.
