Start your planting with vegetables
of the dwarf growth and work PACK
with the taller varieties. Keep In nina
that the space given to radishes, let
tuce and onion sets this month can
be replanted TO the same vegetables
in two months from this planting, or
the space can be given over to plants
taken from the hot bed, of which we
will speak later.
Radishes come first in order an
ounce of seed will plant row of fifty
feet. It is advisable to select about
four varieties and plant one-third or
one-half of each variety at one time,
reserving the balance for the later
planting. There are properly three va
reties of radish-the turnip rooted, of
which there are the scarlet, the red
and the white kinds; the olive shaped.
which include the white, the scarlet
and the French breakfast; and the
long varieties like the long scarlet and
the icicle.
Lettuce comes next in order in height
of growth; but If one will use a seed
bed a good amount of space can be
saved by planting the next row or
rows with onion sets. Four or five
weeks after planting onion sets in rich

be grown on a given amount of land.
Furthermore you VIII be better able
to determine the amount of seed and
plants required.
This is the time to start the garden
for the new year. and it is4high time to
plant the first of the vegetable garden
if you would reap the benefit of the
early rains. As we want the carry
vegetables for the table, it is well first
of all to look to the making of that part
of the garden that is most desirable.
First, make a plan of the garden on pa
per Even if it is a small one on the
hack of a city lot. covering not more
than fifty square feet, make little
diagram of it, and then you can easily
figure out how much space you can
give to each variety.
We have heard this idea of plan of
a formal garden ridiculed. However,
we are not writing to give instruction
to the established gardener or to the
one who has learned by actual expert
ence something of the art of gardening.
We are writing to the amateur and

obtain better results.
After the spad!ng is completed give
the surface a dressing of commercial
fertilizer. the amount to be governed

use Rake the fertilizer thoroughly
into the soil; break up the Jumps of
earth, making the surface as smooth
as possible. To the beginner we cam
not repeat too often the necessity of
having the seed bed free from Jumps
and perfectly smooth before planting.

THF VEGETABLE GARDEN

IN HE vegetable and flower garden
must not be neglected at this
u time, if it is to supply the homo
table with vegetables and flowers
throughout the year. Give up little
time each day to getting the garden
plot in order. First of all, clean up all
useless litter and burn the dry rub
bish that has accumulated during the
past season. The useless vegetable
and flower plants that are still green
can be buried somewhere in the garden,
but care should be used 20 bury it
deep enough not to come i'm contact
with roots of the coming crop.
Make it a point to establish a sys-
tenn in the home garden this year.
1t does not take much more time to
have a uniform arrangement, but even
though it takes double the tine it pays
in the end. The whole garden is not
to be planted at once, so after the
ground has been cleared up and raked
thoroughly it is well to lay out plan
for the coming season.
Decide as to the position and the
amount of space the vegetab garden
will have; then you can tell exactly
what will be the most profitable to
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

keeping in mind that number of years
ago, when we did not know the first
letter of the alphabet of gardening, we
started a home garden on very small
scale.
In our first study on gardening we
were struck with this idea of a plan of
the garden prior to beginning the work,
and we have followed this plan through
number of years-not only in the
small home garden but in the large
market garden Hence we advise those
looking for first helps to adopt this
plan, as we know of its benefits.
How to Plant
Make it your policy to plant in rows
First because there is no satisfaction
i'm sowing seed broadcast in sold beds.
1t is almost impossible for the mex
perienced amateur to plant evenly, and
the result is a crowded stand of plants
in one part of the bed, thin smatter-
ing in another and in some places no
growth at all. Then many times some
reliable scotsman is blamed for these
results. Secondly, all vegetable plants
must have cultivation. This is as
necessary. if not more necessary, than
fertilization, if we would reap good
plants. Planting in rows gives us
chance to cultivate, to stir up the soil
often with hoe or hand weeder, or with
the wheel cultivator if the garden is
large enough to warrant the use of the
wheel seeder and cultivator
The vegetables to be planted now in
the open ground are peas lettuce, onion
sets and onion seeds, carrots, turnips,
radishes, parsnips and satisfy. All of
these with the exception of peas can he
planted in rows, twelve inches apart.
though more space is better If one has
sufficient ground, Peas of the dwarf
varieties should be planted in rows at
least two feet apart. If your garden
plot is 50X50 feet mark out a portion,
say fifteen feet, and start operat 'ons
Preparing the Ground
No matter. how rich or how poor a
soil may be it Dan be improved AMI
made to give better results by good
tillng, so we must emphasize this
question of cultivation. The spade or
spading fork is best for the small
garden. Do not. be satisfied with a
shallow spading or a light scraping Of
the surface. but turn up the soil to
the full depth of your spade. Turn the
soil completely upside down, and so
bring that which was covered into
position to receive the sunlight and air.
In our last article. we spoke of the
them. If one has not made use of
barnyard manure in the garden plot
we recommend the use of one of the
commercial fertilizers that are now
offered for sale. No matter how fer
tile the land has been when we use
good commercial fertilizer in addition

Soon the remau candles begar shoot

Rather Shabby.

Miss Susie Berry, a graduate OF the
State Normal school and one of the
best equipped and most successful
teachers In the country and for the
past Ave years principal of the St
Paul schools, has been very unex-
pectedly turned down for the place
the ensuing year.
Miss Berry had been assured OF the
place, we are Informed, by the men
who afterwards voted 70 secure
another teacher
The reason for this unexpec ed
action is given as a little evening up
because Miss Berry exercised her
right to vote as she pleased at tn.
spring eleetlon.
We are very sorry that this
occurred, as we think 1t very much
against the Interests Of any school TO
change teachers except for valid
cause.
We know personally of Miss Berry's
qualifications and the fact OF her
having been retained at st. Paul five
consecutive years speaks for her
success. We have been told that
Miss Berry expects to be candidate
for county superintendent nexe fall.
That being the case 1t is better that
she be out Of the school room any
way. She can make more success
