THE HOME GARDEN

value Of the home garden is not as
fully appreciated or as highly develop
ed as it might easily be-" says Prof.
L. M. Montgomery of the College Of
Agriculture at Columbus. He SAYS
further that "the real work of the gar
den depends upon the variety and con-
stancy Of its products. I'll The average
farm garden produces great guam
tlty of certain vegetables for short
periods, but does not produce a sue
cession of crops throughout the season.
we should plan our garden SO that
the family may be supplied with peas
over period of two months instead
OF the two weeks or less which is the
more common period. Lettuce, beets,
carrots and many other crops should
be obtainable in the most tender and
edible form throughout the season in
stead of for short periods in early
spring.
"There are two methods Of securing
the desired succession Of crops, first
by selecting varities, which planted at
the same time, will mature their pro-
ducts at different dates. Second, by
making successive planting of one or
two varieties Of the same kind of crop
throughout the early spring and sum-
mer or in some cases until early fall.
"Many vegetable crops mature very
quickly and in order that the ground
may be occupied and the weeds more
easily controlled the space should
be followed by lettuce, beans, winter
beets, carrots, beans, late cabbage, or
celery; and early beets or carrots may
again be planted to some other short
season crop. For example, early let
tuce and radishes may be followed by
radish or spinach.
"By consistant planning the garden
valuable half acre on any farm"
