Plant Few Varieties
For Home Gardening

For home use a few vegetables.
well grown, are very much easier fer
the gardener than an attempted wide
variety. especially where available
space is consideration. A few to-
mato plants. half dozen peppers, six
eggplants and a row or two of beans
will make up A nice collection that
will give a splendid return IL enough
space is left between plants and the
rows are sufficiently wide apart.
Tomato plants set two feet apart
each way can be made TO bear pro-
lifically IL staked and properly prim-
ed and disbudded; peppers will DO
nicely IL set one and a half feet apart
in the row, and eggplants will need
two feet apart each way. Liberal
quantities of manure must be used
on all tl.ese vegetables: beans will
give good crops with half the guam
tity OF manure. but a liberal allow
ance will give the better results.
To I'll small space fun OF all the
garden vegetables will mean, neces-
sarily. poor yields. If any at all are
secured.
Intensive gardening does not mean
close planting or failure to supply
ertilizer-intensive gardening means
more than anything else early plant
ing from hotbeds TO secure more
than one crop from the same piece
of ground.
Sprinkle commercial fertilizer aud
rake or hoe II into the soil when the
plants start into growth. not before.
A lot OF IL is wasted IL put on too
early, particularly the soluble nitro
geneous fertilizers.

TAPE IS SUPERIOR
TO TIE ASPARAGUS
Most Up-to-date Gardeners
Use Fast-CoTor Variety
For Purpose.

A great deal has been said con-
cerning the growing and fertilizing
of asparagus. but after all, selling
is one Of the most important factors.
The grower is naturally anxious to
do all in his power TO increase the
demand for as well as the profit of
his particular product. and the new
est and most effective method of
obtaining this desired Cesult is the
use OF tape.
For years the great problem has
been to find something that would
not bruise or harm the stalks-tapc
has solved this problem. II has been
proved conclusively that although
tied indefinitely. the stalks suffer no
injury from the tape.
The largest packers OF asparagus
in California. Ohio. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania appreciate the advant.
age OF this fast-color tape over all
other articles formerly used. They oil
claim since using II for tying pur-
poses that not only have their sales
increased. but by decreasing the loss
due TO damages caused by inferior
tying substitutes. they have greatly
increased their profits.
No grower who likes to keep
abreast of the times can afford to
continue in the old way. for the
buyer naturally selects that which
is delivered in the best condition and
this is only possible by the use Of
tape. Hence. ones only chance 10
compete with the up-to date wide.
awake gardener is TO follow in his
footsteps.
Deliver your goods in an attractive
and perfect condition by tying them
with fast -colored tapes. Give II a
trial and be convinced-it is worth
your while. The tape Is made in
various widths and can be obtained
in all the principal colors.
