a neighboring city. 1t says
to rake off the dirt and
ashes, spade the ground up
about II or IL inches, turning
the soil over to discourage the
weeds, then rake and work the
soil carefully mixing it with
manure and then lay out rows
with strings and drop the gar.
den seed in the rows. A fine
back yard is promised which
will give all the results desired
in the way of beauty and utility,
