IN THE GARDEN.

This is the time of the year when
the garden lover must turn her atten.
tion to the preparation of the soil.
With the approach of spring and the
gradual departure of Jack Frost this
work becomes a genuine pleasure.
Rusty rakes and hoes and garden i'm
Elements must be unearthed from. the
cellar
Before one enters upon the actual
preparation of the soil there is a very
real pleasure in poring over cata-
logues, selecting various seeds, writing
numerous epistles to seed houses and
many other attendant joys of anticipa
tion.
The great mistake of the average
amateur gardener is that his eager
ness carries him. away, he starts to
prepare the soil far too early in the
season, and Jack Frost creeps in over
night and undoes all his work and toll
With spring surely at hand, seeds
planted at the proper time-and the
proper time is now approaching-tht
gardener enjoys the first real pleasure
attendant upon cultivation of p ants.
AS day after day passes the garden

for the first tiny roots to push up fror
the soil. for there is no greater plea

covered very little real business.
/ A marked factor in the market, is
the timidity of buyers who are rather

market optimistically believing that

will be followed by more substantial
