Here Are Some Suggestions For Your Fall Gardening

Q—We have some Iris growing, so thick I am sure they should be! divided. When is the best time to do this—next spring or this fall?

—A, C. |

A Divide them in the next few weeks whenever your time and the condition of the ground allows, » ” ~ - Q-—How shall we prepare the ground for a new Iris bed?—A.C.

A Iris likes include lime, ‘bone meal, sandy or gravelly soil rather than moisture holding humus. Manure is a dislike. In the interests of good drainage, dig deep and loosen up any hardpan subsoil under the bed. In ex-| treme cases, where water might "stand around the fat roots in h rat INRA oy LH . 8 nN Q-—We seem to have little luck with fall sowing of grass seed in spite of the continual advice to reseed in fall. Any Idea why? Or suggestions? F. 50th St.

¢ A-—In actual practice you'll find it advisable to reseed every year in both spring and fall to touch up bare spots and keép your lawn continuously good. Probably so! much emphasis is put on fall seed sowing because Mr. Average Man invariably does it in spring and too often waits too long so young grass gets caught by hot weather, © Sow your seed as soon Now Aas vil can so grass gets started hefore cold weather.
