Points 10 Consider.
Remember these points in plan
ming your garden:
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
hill, a group of trees or hedge,
buildings, a tight board fence or a
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 a 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 the
kitchen as possible so that the work
Of caring for the crops may be

Plan for Home Needs.

A<Ah AbA AkOAit -NNNhEs
A typical plan OF this character
is shown in the Illustration. This
plan, OF course. is Of use chiefly as
an example, and i'm most cases a
different arrangement will be neces-
sary 10 meet the conditions sur
rounding individual garden spaces
on the plan the gardener may indi-
cate the approximate date when
each of his projected crops is to
be planted. No more space should
be allotted T. each than is needed
70 furnish a sufficient quantity Of
the vegetable for family consump-
ton or for other known needs.
Make the garden work all sum-
mer. Make your plans so that when
one crop is ready for the table or
for canning another vegetable can
be planted between the old rows
and new paintings can take the
space vacated. Many home gar
deners seem content TO raise
single crop on each plot Of land at
their disposal, but it is quite pos
sible TO grow two or three crops of
some vegetables in one season.
A primary consideration in ar
ranging the garden is the kind of
cultivation to be employed. Where
the work is TO be done mainly by
means of hOrse-drawn tools the ar
rangement should be such as 10
give the longest possible rows and
straight outline should be follow
ed. The garden should be free
from paths across the rows and
turning spaces should be provided
at the ends. For hand cultivation
(the method that probably will 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.
II is also important 10 consider
the location of permanent crops
such as asparagus and rhubarb. If
any Of the small fruits such as rasp-
berries. currants and gooseberries
are 10 be planted within the garden
| Enclosure they should be included
with the permanent crops. The To-
cation and area for the hotbed.
cold frame or seed bed should be
decided upon. although these may
be shifted to some convenient place
outside the garden.
Where there is great variety in
the composition of the soil in diff
ferent parts Of the garden it will
be advisable TO note this when ar
ranging for the location OF the va
rious crops. Such crops as celery,
onions and late cabbage should be
planted in land that is not too low
