C.H. Middleton
Already the work of summer threatens to get out of hand with its staking and tying of plants that grow in a night, and trimming of edges that grow in an hour. Next year's biennials depend on our sowing in the next week or two. There are lawns to be mown, there's a plague on our roses. There are seedling vegetables to be thinned, weeds to be hoed or pulled by hand, young things to be transplanted, others to be watered. There are plants to be taken from the greenhouse and hardened in the open for winter blooming. There are strawberries to gather and birds to be scared from the fruit.
This evening, in another of his popular talks on seasonal topics, C.H. Middleton is to give listeners a few hints on some of the things to do, and the way to do them. And he will answer many of the questions that have puzzled them in the last few weeks.
