unusual advantages. Two years

her for a fate above the ordinary

ESSENTIALS TO GARDEN SITE
Certain Amount Of Sunlight, Fairly
Fertile Soil and Cool Drainage
Other Points.

There are three essentials to the
garden site, experience has shown.
They are:
Sunlight at least six hours a day /;
soil sufficiently fertile for weeds to
grow upon 1t; sufficient drainage,
either natural or artificial. to prevent
flooding or excessive moisture.
If a site is notably deficient in any
of these three essential characteristics,
it Is not suited for garden purposes I'M
less the fault can be corrected.
If one is fortunate enough to be able
to choose among several possible loca-
tons, the New York state college at
Ithaca suggests 1t may be well to con-
slider the following points.
Nearness to the house for con-
venience in working the garden and in
gathering the products and, in the
case Of town garden, for protection
against trespass and theft.
A water supply to insure against
drought.
A gentle south or southeast slope.
A windbreak to the north.
A good, rich loan. that is, mix
ture of sand and clay with plenty Of
humus or decomposed plant material.
Fertility and abundant humus are gen.
orally Indicated by dark color Of
the soil.

The following description of a sup

Take four wooden strips. by / inch
and about four feet long. Place each
pair OF them together, at one end, and
hinge them with two strips ten feet
long. These two long strips form the

across each side of the tent-like struc-
