-.-,.fnal1, OF course a man cannot have
Garden if he does not have land, and
h. cannot have a very good garden un-
.ss he has good land. 1t is easy enough
10 make soil good if it is properly man
AGED. Neither pure clays nor pure sands
are easily brought into state OF high
fertility but such soils are 50 rare we
will not assume their existence in one in

4 unnrepossessing spots brought into very
=. fine condition in the course OF Two or
three years but it was not effected With
ont some cost, however. Where the land
is neither pure clay nor altogether sandy,
but Is poor principally from a lack OF hui
INNS with a iudiciOus use of stable ma
aure cotton seed and few COW pea
crops. q crop or two of rye, it is only
matter of a couple of years or so before
n yerv POOR spot is converted into a good
garden spot
Where one has a home and expects to
continue living a it he cannot be justified
in neElecting so important feature of
happy home life as good garden. The
expense is not so great as to justify not
having it,
garden should yield more or less of
vegetables every month in the year in
this lower latitude of the south, only ex-
CeDtiug such years where the winter be-
gins early and proves very severe as it
does now and then.
We have in mind a garden of one acre
where something is growing in it from
The beginning to the close Of the year
Besides supplying a large family daily
with more or less of vegetable food every
day in the year there is an income in
ready cash of $500. This is the minimum
annual income Sometimes it is more than
this, especially when there is an excep-
tionable demand for plants.
One-tenth of the garden is taken up
with cold frames, in which plants are
grown for early TRANSFORMING. From No
Vember or December until April, these
frames are in constant use supplying from
time to time well-groWn and hardened
plants OF cabbage, cauihoWer, lettuce
celery tomato, pepper and egg plant Us
ually there is good demand for nearly
all of these plants when grown in close
proximity to our large towns and cities
ana SO small space as One-tenth of an
acre covered with cold frames can be
made 10 yielu anywhere from $50 or 800
or more.
