HOME GARDEN HINTS
Radishes and Lettuce.

Radishes and lettuce are favorite
plants in small gardens because. while
these are attractive additions to the ta-
BILE, they are in a way luxuries on which
many housewives hesitate to spend
money.
Lettuce does not Withstand heat well
and thriyes best, therefore. in the early
spring or late autumn. In order 10
have the leaves crisp and tender it is
necessary to force the growth of the
plant The usual method of growing
the plant for home use is to SOW the
seeds broadcast in the bed and to re-
move the leaves as rapidly as they be-
come large enough for use 1t is pet
ter however. to SOW the seeds in rows
fourteen to sixteen inches apart. ana
when the plants come up to thin them
to the desired distance. With the head
