Income Important Item.

"Stin another important item IL the
net income Some persons are in q posi-
ton to expend considerably more
money on their garden than others, and
by checking up on the net income this
feature will receive its due considera-
ton.
IAN item that is lost sight Of by
many judges is the condition under
which the gardening is done. Some
gardeners may start with good land,
which is in good condition. while others
may have neglected areas, full OF grubs,
roots, stone, etc. The conditions at the
start should be considered.
IA summary Of my ideas IN judging
would be to Judge on these points: Con-
ditions at the start of gardening. size OF
area gardsnad, two or three 3udgings
during season, record of the garden and
