planting, though practically speaking, any OF
these vegetables just mentioned can be started
about the first Of April and a new row set
out every two weeks from then on to about
the middle of July
Late carrots, cabbages, caulifower, corn,
winter beans, pole beans, pumpkins, squash
and melons should be planted before the first OF
May unless the season is exceptionally warm.
Tomatoes, peppers and elephants should be
bought in the form of young plants and set out
the last Of May. 1t does not pay to raise these
from seed unless one has a large plot Of
ground. But, after all, nothing but experience
can be depended upon when it comes TO begin
garden making. An old gardener knows by the
feel of the earth whether it is dry enough and
warm enough to risk his seed and every one
knows that the more the soil is worked the
better for the vegetables. Plough deep, pull
verize well, hoe often, to keep the soil loose.
open and in wholesome condition.
VEGETABLES FOR THE SMALL GARDEN
The accompanying list of standard vegeta-
bles has been compiled for the benefit of mex
perienced people,-mainly those who live in
New York and sleep in the suburbs. The tired
business man finds health and strength as
we'll as economy in having little garden plot
to play with morning and evening. His wife,
with keen eye to her household budget, is
wont to encourage this harmless and profita-
BILE pastime. When her liege lord strikes and
announces his intention of conserving all his
surplus energy for golf there is always some
good old soul in the neighborhood VINO is glad
to turn an honest penny by taking care OF
just such little gardens as these.
The varieties suggested here are those which
will yield the greatest harvest in the easiest
way and divert the most money from the mar
ket stall or vegetable wagon to the reserve
fund. Of course, if there is large plot Of
ground one may launch into such luxuries as
Strawberries, asparagus, ETC., but these are
permanent visitors which require good deal
of room,-and we are talking about the small
garden.

Vegetable, Enough to Supply Both The Family and the
Neigbbnbood Can Be Raised by Any Suburbante
Who Enjoys Outdoor Work and Commands
d Fev Square Yards of Ground

Of seed would yield at least five dollars worth
of cucumbers, five cents worth of lettuce even
more than this. A quart Of seed corn at the
average cost of forty cents would yield from
ten to twelve dollars worth Of corn at the usual
market rates--and was ever corn so sweet and
tender bought from a stall after having trav
elled miles in freight car, more miles over
dusty roads of the country and poisonous
streets of the city?
Statistics culled from an amateurs garden
planted last summer are almost unbelievable.
The seed for this garden cost less than ten
dollars. Because it was situated in Massachu-
sets. where there could be but one planting
and not the two or three possible in the neigh
borhood Of New York the results were not as
great Yet the ten dollars worth of seed kept
a family of fourteen supplied with fresh vege-
tables all summer.
BLESSED BY ALL THE NEIGHBORS
Every neighbor who came for a visit went
away laden with lettuce radshes, bunch of
turnps, a mess of greens or luscious oyster
plant; and there were also cabbages, onions,
turnips, carrots and potatoes, shipped to the
city for winter use.
This is a fair example Of the approximate
cost of seed and harvest and the health value
Of an abundance of perfectly fresh vegetables
cannot be computed in dollars and cents.
Two plans are given this week which of
course are only suggestive. These are merely
plans set up for some one to better One fam
lily, not liking cucumbers, would prefer to de-
vote the space to some such winter vegetable
as carrots Another not liking onions, would
prefer the space planted to peas.
However, it is helpful to see even an imper-
feet Layout" because it gives the mind some
think to work from.
In the first plan we suggest grape arbor at
the far end Of the plot Of ground, not only
because of the fresh grapes, jams and jeles it
VIII produce but for the comfortable shade 1T
furnishes for the garden worker or the cook
who is preparing peas beans, etc, for the table
USE BERRY BUSHES FOR HEDGES
Rows Of blackberries, raspberries, currants
gooseberries, ETC., will serve as a division hedge
to the next door neighbor's lot, or, if there is
a high board fence, it will serve as an excellent
vantage ground for espalier fruit trees. In
front of the fruit trees, alternating with them,
is space for rhubarb and horse radish plants
Endive lettuce, radishes and parsley can be set
in a single row at the outer edge of the berry
hedge.
For convenience of work. a path straight
down the centre is recommended. Gardeners
who have an eye for looks as well as yield Ike
to plant each vegetable in a small bed of its
own, often raised trife above the path. The
first plan shows such an arrangement.
The second plan, though not so good to look
at B perhaps easier to cultivate. Long single
rows are preferred by most practical gardeners,

cover. Place the cover on the casserole
and cook in a moderate oven for about
two hours. Serve in the casserole with
a border of toast points arranged
around the edge.
COCOANUT COTTAGE PUDDING
Cream together a quarter OF cup
of butter and a generous half cup oil
sugar. Add two large eggs, lightly
beaten; a pinch of salt, half cup OF
cold milk and one cup of -four, sitted
with one teaspoon of baking powder.
Beat the batter vigorously, stir in one
cup of freshly grated cocoanut, tea

corn, ETC., in the same ground. Often it is pos
sible to make third planting of lettuce,
radishes or spinach in the same space between
tie potatoes or beans so that, as the foliage of
the later plants dies down, the former has
chance TO develop. However, this is not always
possible.
Peas. beans, corn, lettuce and radishes
should be planted every two weeks to get
length of harvest. AS soon as the first plant
ing is flushed, some such late vegetable as
eggplant, winter cabbage, peppers or even
- extra tomato plants should be set out in their
place. Cucumbers, melons, squash or pump
kins should be set out among the corn and
pole beans.
WHY SQUASH AND MELONS ARE NOT
AFFINITIES
But, as every one surely knows, melons, Gu
cumbers and squash must be kept as far apart
as possible The full length of the garden is
none too far The pollen from one ruins the
flavor of the other. In any small plot of
ground it is wise to choose whether one Will
have summer squash or cucumbers and make
no attempt to have both in the same garden.
In the two planting plans given no attempt
has been made to show vegetables that are
difficult to grow. Only the very easiest and
the very cheapest to buy are suggested This
is to cover the most practical vegetable garden
making The least amount of money, time and
experience for the greatest amount of food
value.

Eggs, as they begin to grow cheaper,
may be used a little more lavishly.
Also, a salad of some kind should be
served daily. The yinaigrette dressing
will be found particularly good for
using in connection with many of the
lighter vegetable and green salads, and
il is also excellent for blending with
an egg or sardinc variety. Both of the
latter salads furnish a good basis for
the home luncheon or supper.
