Garden Space Valuable.

Just what vegetables are to be grown
depends, of course, upon the individual
tastes of the family. In general, the
aim of the home gardener should be
to raise vegetables In which freshness
is an important quality. Peas, string
beans, Lima beans, asparagus and
sweet corn, for example, lose much If
they are not cooked almost immedi-
ately after they are picked. In the
case of potatoes, corn, cucumbers,
squashes and melons, it should be re-
membered that these vegetables occu-
Ply a large area in proportion to their
yield and in small garden consume
valuable space which, In most cases,
could be used more profitably. In the
case Of potatoes, however, 1t also
should be noted that they are easily
stored and are an extremely good
staple crop, and many gardeners will
find it to advantage to plant as much
ground to potatoes as possible after
sufficient space has been allotted to
the other garden crops.

Tommy was making a visit to his

the tempting-looking pans of rich

10 raise n single crop on each plot of
land at their disposal, but it Is quite
possible to grow two or three crops
OF some vegetables in one season.
A primary consideration in arrang.
Ing the garden Is the kind of cultiva.
ton to be employed. Where the work
IS to be done mainly by means OF
horse-drawn tools the arrangement
should be such as to give the longest
possible rows and straight outline
should be followed. The go2den
should be free from paths across the
rows and turning spaces should be
provided at thu ends. For hand cul-
tiyation (the method that probably
VIII be used by most home gardeners
the arrangement can be quite differ.
ent, as the garden may be laid out in
sections with transverse walks and
the rows can be much closer for most
crops.
Remember Early Vegetables.
1t is also important to consider the
location of permanent crops such as
asparagus and rhubarb. If any Of the
small fruits such as raspberries, cur
rants and gooseberries are to be
planted within the garden Enclosure
they should be included with the per-
manent crops. The location and area
for the hotbed, cold-frame or seeded
should be decided upon, although
these may be shifted to some conven-
lent place outside the garden.
Where there is great variety in the
composition of the soil In different
parts Of the garden 1t will be advis-
able to note this when arranging for
the location of the various crops.
Such crops as celery, onions and late
cabbage should be planted in land
that is not too low and moist. If part
of the soil is high, warm and dry, that
is the proper location for early crops
and those that need a quick, warm
soil.
Points to Consider.
Remember these points in planning
your BdTueu,
A gentle slope toward the south or
southeast Is most desirable for the
production Of early crops. 1t Is an
advantage to have protection on the.
north and northeast by either a hill,
a group OF trees or hedge, buildings
tight board fence or stone wall
to break the force of the wind.
The land should have sufficient
drainage for surplus water to run off
during heavy rains, but the fall should
not be so great that the soil will be
washed. Fill up holes in which water
will accumulate. Avoid banks of d
creek or stream liable to overflow.
A good fence around the garden plot
is almost Indispensable to keep out
damaging animals.
The garden should be as near thu
kitchen as possible SO that the work
Of caring for the crops may be done
at odd times and so that the vegeta-
bles are quickly available to the
housewife.

Plan your home garden in advance.
Make a diagram of the available
space; allot the ground to the vege-
tables you want to grow. Prepare to
make your garden work until frost
next fall. That is advice to home
gardener by horticulturists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
bers of the family, especially the chill
dren who, by being given partner
ship now, will know their duties when
the time comes. Read such garden
ing publications as are available.
Write to the Department of Agricul-
ture for a home gardening bulletin.
In making a diagram of the garden
1t is well to use tough paper, such as
heavy wrapping paper, which will
stand repeated handling out of doors.
A fairly large scale should be adopt
ed SO that full notes can be kept in
the spaces representing rows. If the
garden is fairly large or abnormally
long the diagram may be made in sep
arate sections for the sake Of con-
venience.
Plan for Home Needs.
A typical plan of this character is
shown in the illustration. This plan
of course, is of use chiefly as an ex-
ample, and In most cases d different
arrangement will be necessary to meet
the conditions surrounding individual
garden spaces. On the plan the gar
dener may indicate the approximate
date when each of his projected crops
is to be planted. No more space
