Requires More Labor.

The old-style method of raised plots
or beds, often bordered with grass,
parsley or some dwarf edging plant,
makes pretty garden. but requires
more time and labor to cultivate and
keep in order than a garden planted
on the level. The rows. if practicable,
should run nearly north and south.

Small Plot Will Provide Bountiful
Supply of Vegetables. Writer
Declares.
Gives Suggestions for Arranging
Beds and Planting of.
Seeds.

With the constantly increasing cost of
living. have been for some time of the
opinion that the practical solution Of this
problem for the man of average crcum-
stances lies in the garden possibilities of
his vacant ground. says Peter Hender-
SON in the New York Times. At least
third of the living expenses of the
average family during the summer are
for things that should come out OF. the
garden.
The expenditure Of a very small amount
for seeds. together with a reasonable
amount of care and attention, will give
an ordinary family all the vegetables
needed during the summer. A space
twenty-five by fifty feet or less than the
average suburban back yard. is amply
sufficient if used with care.
Choose, if possible, a level location. or.
if there be a slope. it should be toward
the south. y Observation-Disclosures, board
