GARDEN HELPS FOR SEPTEMBER.
September Meeting of the Garden Flower Society will be held on the twenty-first, at 2:30 p.m., at the Minneapolis Public Library.
Topics, "Fall Work in the Garden."
"Planting for Fall and Winter Effects."
"Vines and Their Uses."
Have you taken any photographs of your garden, its individual flowers, or wild flowers for our photographic contest? It is not too late yet to get good pictures. Every member is urged to enter this competition.
Plant peonies this month. Old clumps of hardy perennials may be divided and reset early this month. Flowering bulbs intended to be in bloom at Christmas should be potted now. Grass seed for new lawns or bad places in old ones can be sown this month.
The daffodil makes an early growth and should be planted this month. After the first killing frosts the tender roots, like cannas, gladioli, elephant's ears, and dahlias, can be lifted with a fork and spread out under cover to dry, then stored in a cool cellar, free from frost.
Do not cultivate the soil after September first.
