Gardening Hints for February
W ORK must be pushed forward this month If v.-cnther
permits. Real digging, manuring, and cleaning are ot
areat importance, for the sun J.- gaining 10 PO\~r.
Don't let weeds come mto flower, especially groundS<'!, but
dig them in; they will nourlc:h tho nPXt crop. J3E>;ms may be
sown, both early and late crops, but guard from frooti. Brooooli-
Sow on a warm border, also m frame..:~, U po·~tble. Broad beans
do welllf put Into boxes in ~' !mmo and planted out. Brll:'~ls
sprouta should oo sown early, both in the Sl't'd pateb nnd ln
frames, for they require a Ion~; tlm\' to grow if largt• buttons arr
required. Cabbage plant.'>, if too crowdrd-dra1v ewry otht.>r
