Some of the practical suggestions gleaned from an afternoon with the Gardening Department of the A. W. C. were as follows. This is pruning time, and if your roses have been already pruned look to it that their roots are heavily manured and that all grass roots are'removed. The hardier blossoms such as snap-dragons, marigolds, pinks, daisies and many small plants may be transplanted at this season.
Catalogues should be consulted ow and orders sent at once. Poinsettias which have finished blooming should be laid away in a cool place. Gladiolas and dahlias will not be ready for outdoor planting until March. The kitchen garden is the thing to receive immediate attention and English peas, Tettuce, radishes, mustard, kale, cabbage, and onions may well be planted now, as the winters here are mild and tthe long stretch of wet weather in the spring will prevent planting then.
