Years of

Leather buckets hg in front of his home were early Can- adian’s fire fighting tools. The community even had ordinances about the buckefs. When an alarm was’ sounded, perhaps by the church bell, citizens grabbed the buckets and formed a double chain to the nearest water. One line passed the full buckets, the other returned the empties.

The hand condenser pumper produced in Europe. was slow to reach-the new. world. Despite. the

2 \early 19th century invention of

the steam engine, the old hand pumper, mostly drawn by man- power, was still chiefly relied upon. These pumpers were often artistically decorated (by local volunteer brigades).

Now the story enters the 20th century, the era of the steam pumper and its magnificent hor-

ses,.and its men of muscle and courage..The handful of larger places had paid fire fighting de- partments. For the ‘rest, the vol- unteer brigade was still the only protection.

The horses have long since gone. It is the machine age, with high pressure pumpers and high aerial ladders, manned by skill- ed crews. :

Society no longer exists in iso- lated pockets as it did in t Id times. It crowds’ together in great cities, and its ildings reach to the sky. More and: more the prevention of fire has be- come a responsibility to be shar- ed by all. The best fires that the. fire fighter fights are those that do not happen. These he fights by fire inspection of home and industry, and by. education of the people he serves.

Remaking the perennial bor- ‘der is a task that has to be done every five or Six years, no mat- ter how carefully the border was planned in the first place.

Perennials tend to become too large and so overgrown that the larger--plants spread over and smother the smaller ones, and some kinds such as iris and

mies become ‘so crowded

ant. Furthermore, with s0 many new and interesting varie- tiesto add, and with the reallo- cation of those in the wrong place, renovation soon becomes

New home owners who have lawns to make, hedges to plant end other sundry jobs, often find the perennials’ given to them by friends~have just been heeled in until the time comes to plant them in a permanent location. ~ Consequently tall plants are placed by mistake at the front with smaller ones hid-

“ den at the back, resulting in

complete lack. of harmony. This often calls for remaking the bor- der after the second year.

- It is highly probably that in your garden this job of rehabili- tation has already.-started, for

clude and have already dug out bulbs that had become ov er- crowded. You may also have

‘borders in your local parks and gardens, and have noted plants you would like to include in your own planting and which have flown colors that seem to suit your own ideas.

TIME TO’ MOVE se

At the Plant Research Insti- tute’s Ornamental Grounds we like to do the major part of this operation in September be- cause so many kinds. of plants may be moved and divided at this time. Oriental poppies, for txample, are only successfully

or;

although it is a little early to move most lilies. In an emer- gency they can be successfully transferred from one place to

to see that the soil is left intact around the clymped bulbs.

Peonies are best divided at this time of the year. Although irises should have been divided

heaped. over the exposed rhizo- mes in November.

First} dig up and discard all lants that you want to elimin- ate. Tlien select«those that are to be part of the new system and label them with 12 inch stakes. Move these into an unoccupied part of the garden and heel them in temporarily. If no land is -available, place them” in flats or boxes or on a piece of canvas spread out on the lawn. In any case; cover the roots with moist soil and make sure it stays moist until they are re- planted.

Unless it is absdliitely neces- sary, do not move plants that re- sent disturbance such as dictam- nus, anchusa and alyssum. Young plants that flowered for the first time summer

when in flower if this is done carefully and lots of soil is: left adhering to the roots. ~

When the’area is almost com.

deeply and work in lots of orga- nic matter; then if the soil is dry trample it down thoroughly. Before planting it is an excel- lent idea to catalogue the plants

work out a plan on paper so that

plant or group of plants is to be placed able to write the name of the pjlants on stakes and put the stakes where the plants are to be placed: tall ones in groups at

another if a little care is taken /9

A FEW RULES ee Here are a few essentials to follow when planting: 1. Prevent roots from drying out by working quickly; avoid Placing more than half a dozen plants on the soil at one time. Spread out the\ roots of new plants-Wwhen planting if the roots are bunched from. packing. 3. Make the holes large enough to take the roots without crow- ding. a 14; Set the plants at the depth pee had in their previous posi- n. : ‘ 5. Work the soil among and over the roots, then make it firm with the feet or hands: - 16, Do the. planting when the soil is in a good condition: and not too wet. Leave room here and there for other plants that are order- ed in the spring, for lilies that may not arrive until late Octo- ber, for spring-flowering bulbs that may not yet be available, and for plants such as perennial phlox which should not be divid- ed until next spring, even though you may transplant them bodily right now.__ :
