GARDEN SUGGESTIONS
FOR EARLY SPRING
PLANS SHOULD BE MADE NOW
FOR AN ALt-YEAR-RoUND
VEGETABLE GARDEN.
BEANS ARE IMPORTANT
Some Varieties Will Last Through
the Season and Bear Until
Frost.

An all-yearround garden for every
family on the farm and an all-year-
round backyard garden for every
town family is the garden slogan for
1918. Let us produce all the food we
can at home, and eat potatoes in the
place of wheat and beans IN the place
of meat. Besides these we can pro-
duce wealth of other bealthf,A and
nutritious vegetables that will save
transportation and release other sta
pie food for our soldiers and allies,
March is a busy garden month,
and might we'll be termed the bean
planting month under the present
food emergency. since we can not
grow too many beans. Let everybody
plant beans; bush and pole beans for
snaps and bush and pole Lima beans
for green beans and dry beans. Among
the bush beans we have numerous
varieties to choose from, such as the,
Black Valentine, Red Valentine and
Giant Stringless Green Pod of the
green sorts: and the Davis Wax,
Wardwells Kidney Wax, and Curries
Rust Proof of the wax varieties. The
Giant Stringless Green Pod is one Of
the most popular varieties for can
ming or snaps. The Red Kidney bean
is the standard for producing dry
beans, while dry beans of many other
varieties can be eaten at home. Col
ored beans are not popular in conf
merce and the surplus could not be
sold as readily as surplus of the red
kidney or varieties with a white coat
The pole varieties like the Kentucky
Wonder are excellent for summer use,
since the bush beans do not set much
fruit during the summer. The Bush
Limas may be used for the eaylier
crop of Limas. Such varieties as the
Woods Prolific, Henderson's Bush and
the Jackson Wonder (dark colored
seed) are usually planted. The pole
Limas will last through the season
and bear till frost The Carolina or
Sewe is the variety to plant. It is
well to remember that the Lima
beans can not be planted rs early as
the kidney beans. since they will rot
readily in cold, wet soil.
II sweet potatoes are not grown a
field crop on the farm, they should
certainly have a place in the farm
garden and they should also be plant
ed in the back yard town garden il
space permits Put out few slips
as soon as the weather gets warm and
grow a few early vines from which
cuttings may be taken for planting
the later crop.
Set out liberal lot of tomatoes.
They are extremely wholesome and
palatable in the fresh state and are
ideally adapted to canning. Every
pSntry should be well stocked with
home canned tomatoes.
Okra, our great Southern fayorite.
should receive its share Of attention.
