Remove Seed Pods.

It seems unnecessary to suggest that each- day you remove all dead leaves and flowers, but some fond gardeners do neglect this phase of the work. You know If you don’t do this two things are sure to happen: First your garden appears untidy, and second your flowers develop seed pods, and this means the energies of the plant are all devoted to maturing seeds and not to sending forth new growth, and hence you have fewer and fewer and finally no flowers. —Exchange.
