Get the Best Out of
Your Plot.
WHEN BEST TO PLANT
Varieties That Should Be
( Sown Each Month; Be-
gin Right Away.
BY DIR. C. L. EARNHART.

At this time of the year, and with
bright. sunshiny days, all minds turn
O. gardening, even if there are only
a few square feet in the back yard
to plant vegetables.
This is being written with veiw of
utilizing these few feet where weeds
and barren spots will be If little
forethought and energy does not turn
II to profit and pleasure.
Let's have many typical New Eng
land gardens with a small bed OF
sweet, medical and pot herbs. such
Is sage. thyme. catnip and pepper
mint Also permanent plants of horse
radish, pieplant and strawberries.
Even if vegetables can be bought
more cheaply than they can be pro-
duced by the grower. there are many
reasons why they should be grown
at home. 1t is not always possible
can be secured are usually stale and
inferior in quality to the home grown
product.
Yield Big Return.
1t is impossible to make an accu-
rate estimate of the value of the veg
etables which may be grown in home
gardens, but it Is safe to say that a
well-kept garden will yield a return
eight or ten times as great as the
return from any other use. one hun
dred dollars off few lots is quite
easily saved.
OF even greater Importance than
the money value Of the products of
the garden is the satisfaction of hav-
ing bountiful supply Of vegetables
close at hand where they can be Sc
cured at moments notice.
Vegetables and fruits furnish a
large part o. the essential salts which
are absolutely necessary to the we'll
being of the human system. so that
. the value of vegetables in the diet is
a great deal more than the mere
food or money value. The need of
tonics and other medicines in the
spring is due largely to the lack of
vegetables and fruit in the winter
diet If more succulent food were
available, less money would be spent
in doctors fees and medicines.
Fresh vegetables from the home
garden are not subjected to exposure
en- the market and are not liable to
infection. Many vegetables lose their
chara cterstic flavor within few
~hours after gathering. The home
garden is worthy of greatly increased
attention, and a slarger number of
crops should be grown in the garden.
a slope to the south or southeast is
usually preferable, because here the
soil warns up early in the spring.
which permits early planting and
stimulates the early growth of crops.
Practically any type of soil can be
used for the garden, but a sandy loan
Is to be preferred. Good drainage is
of prime importance. The land should
have sufficient fall to drain off sur
plus water during heavy rains. III the

Special to The World,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. &c
Many garden lovers who are envious
of their ncighhors' earlier blooms IAN
To realize that they can do many
things even In February to give some
of their plants an earlier start. Those
who own hotbods or cold frames, the
specialists of the United states depart
mcnt of agriculture say. should see
to II that their annual Towering
plants are started at once. This ad-
vice applies to those flowers To he
used later in beds and to those grown
for cut flowers
Some of the flowers which gave
particularly good results II started in
hotbcds or cold frames are; Agortum,
Alyssum. Astcr, Calondula or Pot
Mariguld, Calliopsis, Campanula,
Castor bean, Chrysanthemum Cosmos,
Four-o'Clock, Godctia, Marigold. Pc
tunia Sweet william, Scotch Pink,
Scarlet Sage and Verbena.
May Sow In Open.
The seed of some of the flowers
listed below need not be started In
hotbeds but can be sown later in the
season in the open ground and then
transplantcd to their permanent lo-
cations The seed of these flowers

very fine and soft In planting each
kind of seed the directions as to depth

Certain other flowers die or do not
do well If they are transplanted.
These therefore should be sown only

shine into every part of the house; do
not allow any decaying matter to ac-

all cleaning-cloths, tubs, pals. ETC., as
soon as you have finished using them.
