Tisc Spring Garden.

That we may have the best spring

This is an Important part OF success

ducing the most luscious fruits and
the choicest vegetables cannot be pre-

we cannot have our soils too fine. too

them very deep. And this breaking

One Of the most important elements
in plant growth is potash. This enters
into the composition OF all plants. 1t
