FIRST WORK FOR GARDEN
BY L. N. BENNINGTON.

One does not need a large variety
of flowers or vegetables to get both
pleasure and profit from garden ]
do the planting and much of the work
on a plot of about one acre. The pro-
ducts include asters, dahlias, straw
berries, tomatoes, celery, string beans,
etc.
March is none too soon to com.
mence shaping ones plans for the
garden. A good catalogue from some
reliable scotsman is necessary. My
experience has been that it is mis-
take to try too many varieties Of vege-
tables. OF peas. tomatoes and cab
bage, select two varieties, one early
the other late. OF all the other vege-
tables find one variety suffices.
Order your seeds early, for by the
middle of March one can begin oper-
atoms by sowing tomato, cabbage, and
celery seeds in boxes filled with earth.
Cigar boxes make good receptacle
for starting plants. They are deep
enough and good size for standing
on the window sill. Two hundred
plants can be started in one box. The
early cabbage and tomato should be
started first.
If you are going to try celery 1t
should be among the first started. Do
not cover the seed too deep. Follow
the direction on the package as to
depth.
Do not get discouraged about re-
suits, as celery seed terminates very
slowly. Keep the top of the earth al
ways moist. and do not look for
plants until the third week. When
they do show give plenty Of light. SO
that they will not be spindling

matoes. All of them will grow long
threadlike stems, which will be too
weak to support themselves, unless
given plenty of sunlight. The celery
plants can remain in the cigar box
much longer than any of the other
plants that have suggested for house
starting. They grow slowly. The to-
matoes and cabbage will soon need
larger quarters.
AS soon as the fourth leaf is under

BY the time the plants are trans
planted in the flats there will be many
days when they can be placed outside

whenever possible
