preparation OF the soil Is the founda-l
ton, In starting new garden the
French gardener takes out the top soil
and mixes and remixes II with ma
nure. A fine surface OF this mixed
manure and soil is spread over a thick
layer OF manure. thus making a kind
OF hotbed. the heat from which pro-
duces the growth OF vegetables In win

used Is a mixture OF dry material and
fresh manure.
The vegetables are grown under bell
Jars or large glass frames. Plenty OF
water Is used. the gardens being pro-
vided with motor pumps and a system
