or broadcast, in the autumn or early
spring. square yard of space will
be sufficient for all the parsley that
the average family is likely to desire.
Spinach however, is perhaps the most
faVorite crop grown for greens, and
every home gardener should plant it,
Around Norfolk. Virginia, and to the

any time through the winter when the
fields are not frozen or covered with
snow. North of the latitude of Nor
folk spinach can be planted in the au-
tumn and carried over the winter by
mulching with straw or leaves. The
seed should be sown in drills one foot
apart, at the rate of one ounce to u
hundred feet of row, or ten to twelve
pounds per acre. A rich loan is re-
quired for success.
There is, perhaps. no other garden
crop which gives as much satisfaction
as spinach. Ordinarily it occupies the
land during the autumn and winter and
does not interfere, therefore, with the
production of summer vegetables. Three
or four ounces of seed planted in the
autumn after the summer crop has been
harvested Will produce an abundance Of
green's for the average family during
the late autumn and early spring. In
gathering spinach the entire plant is
removed instead of merely cutting of
the leaves BY selecting the larger
plants first, the smaller or later ones
are given room to develop. This meth
cd does away with the necessity of
thinning.

creating a demand for new frocks.
This one is very charming in a
simple girl-like way. The under bodice
is covered with straight lace and the
pretty over bodice and short sleeves of
crepe are prettily draped. The skirt is
a straight one and the tunic can be made
as it is here or turned under at the lower
edge and caught to give pulled effect.
You could copy the model in variety
of materials, but here crepe is used over
lace. Taffeta is pretty for the entire
dress or taffeta would be pretty for the
under skirt while the tunic and the over
bodice were made of silk voe. or you could
make the over bodice and the over skirt
of taffeta and the under blouse and skirt
of tulle in place of the lace. Completed
the frock gives very elaborate effect but
if you consider the skirt and the tunic and
the bodice separately you will realize its
simplicity.
