Begins Series of Bulletins.

In view of the wide demand for in
formation about home garden making
The Star today begins printing a series
Of bulletins, supplied by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. on garden making.
Many Of these are condensations of
more cornplete bulletins which may be
he'd from the department. But in them
selves they will furnish an adequate
guide even for the most ineXpert anna
1eur. for cultivating a home garden.
The bulletins in this form are not
availa bic for each person. because of
the limited supply. Therefore The Star
advises those persons who contemplate
cultivating a home garden clipping this
series and saving them for reference.
In addition to these every amateur
gardener should provide himself with
q copy of that department classic on
this subject known as Farmers Bull
1etin No. 255." and entitled The Home
Vegetable Garden" This is the most
comprehensive bulletin on the subject
issued. and is being supplied to those
who have asked. through The star. and
directly TO the department, for infor-
nation about horne garden work
Especially gratifying has been the
response TO The Stars invitation to
owners of vacant lots to lend them
free to garden clubs. A number of
replies to this invitation have been
received by The Star. and those who

HOME GARDEN HINTS
How Variety of
Vegetables Can Be Pro-

little forethought will enable a
comparatively small tract of land to
supply the average family with fresh
vegetables throughout the growing
season, say specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture
Most owners of small gardens are. con-
tent to raise single crop on each plot
of land at their disposal. 1t is quite
possible, however, to grow two or three
crops in one season, and If these are
properly selected the home grown
produce will he both better and cheaper
than any that can be purchased on
the market.
Just what vegetables are to be
grown depends. of course. upon the
individual tastes of the family. In
general it may be said. however. that
the aim Of the home gardener should
be to raise vegetables in which fresh
ness is an important quality. Peas
and string or lima beans. for example,

Why the Home Garden PAYS.

But the home garden does pay in
these ways: 1t keeps the family sup
piled with fresher vegetables than
could be bought. The end of the season
record will show that these vegetables
have been raised at lower price than
that at which they could be purchased.
If the ga rden work is supplemented by
canning the surplus product the profits
Will be more satisfactory.
Not all the advantages of q home
garden can be expressed in dollars and
cents. The garden furnishes healthful
recreation and an interesting hobby. 1t
gets the entire family out of doors. 1t
creates a community of interest in the
family. 1t is especially beneficial to
small boys You will find that while
you are raising good vegetables you
also are helping to raise good. efficient
men.
