WHEN TO PLANT
 HOME GARDENS

Washington, D. C.. March 22--The garden specialists of the D. s. De- partment of Agriculture divide vege- tables into two classes-warm tenn perature,' and scold temperature' vegetables When peach and plum trees are in blossom. they say 1t Is time to sow in the 0pen ground such seeds as lettuce, r2dish. parsley. beets. turnipa, cabbage. carrots. peas, and onions The wrinkled peas should not be planted until later. as they are more liable to rot in cool ground than are the smooth vaIlet1es1 When the apple trees bloom.f 1t Is time to plant the heat-lovfng vegetables such as cucu1pbers, be4ns. sweet corn, pump kin. and squash This is an old put excellent rule
 The quickest crop to mature is the radish- Lettuce, turnipE, peas. beefs, and beans usually require from to weeks, corn from II tO 1S weeks and potatoes from IS to IS weeks to mature
 Lettuce is to the garden what the hay crop is to the deld-a1ways need ed, and gives some of the best re- turns. A rich sandy 1cam, with suf- ficient nitrate to stimulate leaf growth and intensdfy the clnlorophyn or deep leaf color of the plant and a suff11ency of soft water keep the crop crisp and fresh Much the same plan is pract1ced with cabbage, except that it does not require so much wa ter. tI.
 Baans do not require very rich soil and 1t Is safe to plant them on the very poorest patch Snap beans may z |, in hat chard trees
 The Lima bean requires a rich, moist soil, but does not seem to de- 7orive the land of it's productfveness. Lima beans have been grown on the game fields in California for many years 2@4
 Cucumberz, squashes, and melons require rich soil. and the cucumber profits by the application of fresh horse manure. Sheep manure will hurry plants along more rapidly than most chemical fertilizers
 The specialists believe that if the general principles they have outlined are followed, it will be profitable for almost anyone to plant his idle acres this season. They point out that even where the momenfary value of the crops raised in the backyard garden is not important, the gardener and his family must credit to the patch the health and enjoyment they gain from this outdoor occupation. They point out that from the community of view ft is the duty of every home owner to keep his place orderly and attractive. The most profitable way of getting rid of a patch of weeds in Q back yard is to cultivate it and plant 1t to some valuable crop, the orderly character of of which will ad much to the come1iness of the home grounds.
 Gardening is an old, old story. It is related that nearly twenty centur- tes ago Plfny the Elder summed it up in . sentence of just six words: ''Dig deep: manure well; work often"
