GARDENING - Our gardening in
Cassiar is very limited but here are
a few tips which maybe of some help
to the beginner.

The perennial which most of
us have, should be cut down to about
6 inches above the ground before
our first snow. A good wind/snow
breaker is to put the cuttings or
any such material over them. _

Bulbs too, should be started
and planted for the coming spring.
at this time. Usually an average
of 5 - 6 inches below the soil is
sufficient. The soil should be
tightly packed to avoid winter
killing.

It is hoped there will be a
variation of annuals and perennials
for the ambitious gardeners in the
coming year. These will be prepar-
ed in flats and available from
May - June next year.
