tivators. Plants which make n high
growth and cause heavy shade nat
urally should not be located whore
they will interfere with sun-loving
small plants. Peronnials. such as
rhubarb and asparagus, which arc
not cultivated. should not be grown
among plants which call for tilling.
The planning may be extended also to
the planting of small fruits, such AS
currants. raspberries and grapes,
and even to the location of apple or
other fruit trees.
Plots for Little Folks.
Whore there are very small chill
dren in the family separate small
plot should be set aside for their play
gardens. If they have their own veg
etabes which they are free to pull
up, examine or treat as they like,
they are less liable to conduct their
juvenile botanical experiments In the
garden which is being grown for seri-
Gus purposes.
one plan was made from an un-
usually wcll-arranged and successful
garden that was grown in "A city back
ward 20 by 20 feet in dimensions.
This lot is bounded on two sides by
board fence six feet high, along
which II grapevines were planted and
trained Another grapevine was so
planted as to grow on the shed at
the rear. On either side OF the flag
stone walk strawberry plants were
set. Between the walk and the fence
currant bushes were planted. Be-
tween the currant bushes and the row
of Strawberries were grown low
growing vegetables. such as beans.
peppers, eegplants, and the like. The
area between the walks. which was
J "A
over to vegetables.
Early Paintings.
In this area the rows of low
growing, quick maturing, early vege-
tables were planted, so that at proper
ing sorts could he dispersed. The
early paintings consisted of rows OF
radishes. early beets, lettuce. carrots
and few parsnips. parsnips being
! placed so that they could have the
benefit of the entire growing season
while between were placed first rows
of radishes and lettuce and later
! bunch beans. The beets later in the
season gave way to few late cab
/ bagc plants. An area was devoted to
"A dozen tomato plants trained to n
single stem on stakes about four feet
high. These were planted about
eighteen inches apart In each direc-
tion which gave them ample room
for maturity. 1t was necessary, how
| ever, that the site for tomatoes should
be as sunny as practicable. In the
least sunny portion of the yard early
and late peas were planted together
with row of sweet peas to supply O
few much-prized blossoms for the
table.
Before the tomatoes were planted
onion sets occupied the area and wer,
allowed to remain until large enough
for use or until it was necessary L
thin them in certain areas to maxi
space for planting the tomatoes. !
few parsley plants were placed In {
convenient corner where they did no
receive too much sunlight, but wher'
the environment was as cool as posi-
BILE and sufficiently moist to keep tn,
plants growing. In tho autumn 4
was found wise to plant spinach. kali
and potato onion" sets In order tina
a supply Of green succulents nigh
be had during the winter and early
spring.

The plan once made out should, o.
