Weeds in the Garden.

If there is one place above all others
where weeds seem determined to
grow, and from which they ought to
be completely eXterminated, it is the
farmers garden. Why it is that weeds
III garden are more tenacious of life
than those which grow in the fields, /
cannot say, but that such is the fact,
experience in my own and observation
IN my neighbors' gardens leads me
hrnly to believe. But farmers are
more deeply interested in the fact it
sell than they are in the reasons for
The existence of the fact; consequently
II may he best for us to consider the
Tact without regard to its causes.
Weeds will certainly grow in our gar
uthS from the present time until late
ID The fall, and we must either go reso-
!utely to work, and keep pretty con-
SltntIy at it too, graduating them, OF
else our gardens will be full of them
by-and-hy. As the original purpose of
painting a garden was the production
oI useful plants, and as this purpose

weeds 10 grow, it is very evident that
Nel-ihtereSt requires us to keep them
"at OF our gardens. Any land can be
put to better use than the production
oi weeds, and the garden is the last of
an places in winch they ought to grow.
I"'y look badly, they prevent the
gro" tA OF better plants, and take as
"u'h iertillzing matter from the soil
as good crop of vegetables. But
