Where garden space Is limited plant
root and salad crops. No garden, large
Or small, Is complete without them,
but they are particularly adapted to
small backyard gardens. Among the
root crops are radlshes, beets, carrots,
parsnips. satisfy or vegetable oyster,
and turnips. Salad crops include let
tuce. common or wild cress. dandelion,
Cos lettuce or romaine, Chinese cab
bage, and others. They require little
space. because they can be planted in
rows from 10 to 18 inches apart, and
cultivated with hand tools. Many gar
deners make only one planting of these
crops. but the garden specialists Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture suggest that several paintings
Of them be made a week or SO apart,
in order to have a succession of those
vegetables.
Radishes are one Of the first and
best vegetables that come from the
garden in spring. They should be
planted as early as possible, whether
for market or home use. For the home
supply small amounts should be plant
ed, and at least two or three paintings
made with varieties that mature at
different times.

Beets are one of the most important
crops for the home garden. Seed can
be planted just as soon as the soil is

FRUIT FOR AVERAGE FAMILY
Evorbsarino Strawberries Should Find
Place In Every Garden Where
There 10 Space.

Plenty Of vegetables for the table
should be the first consideration Of
every home gardener, but fruit trees
and some bush fruit should be plant
ed, say specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. 1t
does not take very large space for
growing enough fruit and berries Of
the different kinds to supply the aver
age family.
Everbearing Strawberries, which
were novelty few years ago. are
now being planted by thousands Of
gardeners, and they should find a
place-in every garden of the temperate
region where space will permit.
Strawberries, however, can be grown
under very wide range of climatic
and soil conditions. The same Is true
Of the blackberry and the dewberry.
Raspberries are more limited as to
distribution. and will not withstand
the heat Of summer In the South or
the extreme cold Of the North. Their
planting is confined almost entirely
to the temperate regions, the Central
and Eastern states and the Pacific
Northwest. Certain varieties of the
red raspberry that are practically
everbearing, or that at least produce
both summer and fall crop of fruit,
are now being developed. Raspber-
ries. blackberries. and dewberries do
well when planted along fence.

Salad Plants Can Often Be Grown In
4 Small Space Where Some othsr
Crop Has Been Gathered.

they are about an inch In diameter,
both leaf stems and young beets can
be cooked together. When the beets
are larger the leaf.stems become tough
and woody. AS rule two paintings
should be made, one extremely early
and another In about four weeks.
Carrots should be planted just lit
tie later than beets, and as soon as
the plants are up they should be
thinned. A second thinning will leave
the plants one and one-half to two
inches apart in the row and give a
supply Of small carrots, known as baby
carrots, for use on the table. The
tops Of the carrots cannot be used for
green's.
Parsnips and satisfy are more in
the nature Of winter crops; that is,
they are grown during the summer
and kept for winter use. A section Of
row 20 to 80 feet long generally will
produce all the parsnips or satisfy that
the average family will want.
While 1t Is true that too much lettuce
often Is planted at one time, not
enough attention is given to keeping a
continuous supply. Lettuce plants
grown In the hotbed or cold frame. or
in box in the house, can be planted
in the open ground just as soon as the
danger Of the last frost is past.
Fresh Things All Year.
BY making a study Of the different
kinds of salad crops offered in seed
catalogues one can easily have a con-
tinuous supply from the earliest
springtime until the late autumn, and
even into the winter. Water cress, for
instance, Is grown commercially in
ponds or springfield streams in Sec
tions where the water naturally con-
tains large amounts Of lime. By start
Ing water cress from seeds sown In a
box in the house or by getting bunch
Of cress in the market and using the
stems for plants, 1t is easy to grow a
stream or pond.
Chickory, or endive, Is one Of the
finest Of the winter salads. The roots
are grown during the summer, and
then dug in the fall and packed in the
cellar in boxes Of moist sand, the roots
being placed rather close together in
The box with the crowns or tops near
the surface. A covering Of straw is
placed over the box, and the soil
around the roots kept moderately wa
tered. Fresh, young leaves will be
formed beneath the straw, and as they
are grown in comparative darkness,
these are white, crisp and tender.
