HOME GROUNDS BEAUTIFUL
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Nothing adds to the attractiveness
of the home place more than thrifty
vines, and for most places perennial
vines are best. For temporary screens
annual vines will do. Start the seeds
indoor early and transplant frequent
ly in order to make the plants stalky,
and as soon as the ground gets warm
they may be set out where they are to
remain.
Many Of these will grow but little
at top for the first year, but will be
making root growth and be getting
ready to make top progress after
wards. Some of the shrubs and peren-
malls, and even the biennials may give
scant bloom the first year, and some
may wait for the first towering for the
third year.
Seeds of most of the desirable orna-
mental vines, shrubs, biennials and
perennials terminate readily, while
others are slow in sprouting, but if
planted in good soil and allowed time
the reward is sure.
We should inform ourselves on these
subjects as much as possible before un-
de-taking the work.
February and March is good time
to get our window boxes ready. In
these boxes may be planted the seeds,
together with many dubious and tuber-
ous-rooted varieties of plants. Many
of our best seedsmen sell trial orders
very cheap, hoping to thus keep a Gus.
toner by sending out good seeds and
plants. Get your trial order from re.
liable firm and study the catalogues,
especially the directions on how to
prepare the soil and the depth to plant
the seeds.
Do not try to do anything about the
garden in happy-go-lucky way. Give
time and thought to the planting The
result justifies your most intelligent
care.

FIRST WORK FOR THE GARDEN
BY E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

To get both pleasure and profit from
a garden one does not need large
variety of flowers and vegetables.
do the planting and much of the work
on plot of about one acre. The prod
ucts include asters, dahlias, straw
berries. tomatoes, celery. lettuce,
string beans, etc.
March is none too soon to commence
shaping ones plans for the garden. A
good catalogue from some reliable
seedman is necessary. The winter
months are the time to study and plan
out your scheme of garden. My ex-
perience has been that it is a mistake
to try too many varieties of vegeta-
bles. OF peas, tomatoes and cabbage,
select two varieties, one early, the 9th
er late. OF all the other vegetables /
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 a good size to stand on the
window sill. Two hundred plants can
be started in one box. The early cab
bage and tomato should be planted
first.
If you are going to try celery it
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 spin
ding.
This also applies to cabbage and
tomatoes All of them will grow long,
thread-like 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
planting, They grow slowly. The to-
matoes and cabbage will soon need
larger quarters.
AS soon as the fourth leaf is under

be good for several seasons. Do not

By the time the plants are trans
