To have a fresh supply of vegetables throughout the summer should
o n the city lot, o in the village, a large amount of edibies produce can
be produced. Where the area is limited it will probably be impossible to
grow more than the summer supply, but OF the farm, where any amount
of land is available, vegetables for summer and winter can be grown.
The vegetable garden will materially reduce the high cost of living
Not only will it do this, but it will furnish plenty of healthy. outdoor re-
creation and exercise. From a educational standpoint the garden is es,
will inculcate in them habits of order and industry.
To meet with the greatest success in the growing of vegetables, es
peciary in the home garden, a we'll Thought out plan should be made OF
it. A plan of this kind will enable tn egardener to provide a place for
tables in the order in which they should be planted. To do this, however
it is necessary that we know something about the time Of planting each
crop. The time of planting depends almost entirely upon the tempera
ture and moisture requirements of each particular crop

under which the crops must be grown to develop properly. From a cul
tural standpoint, Lloyd says the cool season crop "a D dVrueo i'
three general groups:
"a "The first group is composed of short season crops, which can
not endure the heat of summer, but which IA safely be planted IN u'
