EIoxxers With Vegetables.

too II you cut flowers all over your
grounds, particularly near the house,
the place will not look its best. More

give away. If you plan TO raise great
many flowers for cutting in beds ana
borders you are simply inviting back

The cheaper, easy and sensible way Is
to have a separate place for raising
flowers that you want for cutting. Sc
lect place that is out of the way, SO
that the removal of the flowers will not
spoil the garden or landscape effect.
The vegetable garden is just the place,

ignorant laborer to hoe anything that
