pears this call to arms-or to hoes:
ITO make garden this spring and

The efforts of the small gardener, the

greater Importance than they were

self-preservation, as well as the hobler
impulses OF patriotism and humanity.
Let me urge. indeed. that this is no ex-
aggeration, but barely the truth.
Look to the garden implements
now; get everything ready for use. so
that when the time comes to use it
there may be not an instant's delay.
Have labels whitfield out and punched,
ready for planting at the end Of every
row when the seed is sown; have such
charts as may be needed for daily ref :
