patriotic American who can do so to
cultivate or cause to be cultivated by
some member of his family as much
land as can be properly cared for.
Even though backyard or nearby
vacant lot is the only land available,
this should be put to work. BY careful
planning and cultivating it can be
made to yield considerable proper
ton of the vegetables needed by the
family during the coming year.
Having secured the use of a piece
of ground for garden. il seeds are
to be ordered, the order should be
made out at once as the time for
planting will soon be here. The fol.
lowing seed order includes desirable
varieties in amounts sufficient to plant
a garden 20 by 40 feet in area. A
garden this size should furnish enough
of the vegetables mentioned to supply
the needs Of family of four and
leave some surplus products to sell
