Having obtained per- mission Bridgford or- dered all bells in the city to be rung. He also assiéted in the arrangements then un- dertaken for the capital‘s defence. Governor Sir Francis Bond Head was so paralyzed with fear that he did not know what to do. \ Paralyzed When Bridgford reached Toronto, he went straight to Government House and found all in consternation; Bridgford told him to ride on ahead and warn the governor the rebel forces would be attacking the capital within two hours. When Col. Robert Moodie fell from his horse at the barricade outside Montgomery’s Tavern, he was the victim of his own foolhardiness and a sniper‘s bullet, Col. Bridgford and Captain Stewart, who accompanied him, rode around the hotel, leaping the fences. Although they were fired at several times, they succeeded in reaching Yonge Street south of the hotel. There they met a man named Powell who had a fresh horse. A-6 â€" THE LIBERAL, Wednesday, April 14. Bright spring weather is the “call of the wild" for home gardeners, and according to an Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, it’s time to start thinking about planting early vegetables and starting transplants. I Gardening I es soen as the East is éut of the ground and the soil is dry enough to prepare, the cool weather vegetables can be played,” st_ates R. Fleming. “Radishes, which will germinate and grow even in quite cool weather, are a good indicator crop. Lettuce, carrots. spinach and garden peas can all be sown as soon as the ground can be prepared.” He suggests tha? before seeding: a light ap- plication of a fertilizer high in phosphorus will help the seedlings’ growth. WWith transBlants such as cabbage and cauliflower. he recommends sidedressing with a good fertilizer to enourage qew growtlh. Fleming cautions gardeners about being overanxious when it comes to starting their tomato and pepper transplants. In warm, heated homes with poor light conditions. the plants tend to become weak and spindly when they're started too early. “The second or third week of April is early enough to sow the seed of your favorite varieties. By the time the seedlings are ready to transplant to flats or individual pots, the warm days of May will permit the young plants to be set in a bright, well-ventilated area during the day.” ‘ TransplaBts growh this way will not be large, but they will be stocky. healthy plants ready to be planted outdoors at the end of May or early June.

The insurgents, many of whom were armed only with pitchforks or pikes, fled from the scene. But David Gibson, whose Willowdale house was burned that year by supporters of the government, suggested that instead Bridgford be held as a prisoner of war and thus saved the man’s life (Bridgford's second close call in his country‘s service). The prisoners were freed and the hotel was burned.
