Should Profit by
His Own Mistakes.
Careful Gardener Can Eas-
lily Obviate Errors of
Past Season.

There Is small hope for those who
DO not profit by their mistakes. Re
Gently In a meeting of about $50 homo
gardeners. those present were asked
to recount some of the mistakes that
they made in the conduct of their gar
dens last season. Here are some Of
them, gathered by the United States
Department of Agriculture for the.
benefit of the readers of the Cottage
Gardener columns The first of these
gardeners TO confess stated that the
greatest mistake he made was in.
planting most Of his crops too early
and before the ground had become
sufficiently warm. As a result many
Of the seeds failed to grow and the
garden had to be planted over again
and was late In maturing. Another
Of the gardeners said that his great
est mistake was in not making several
paintings Of certain crops such as
beans. corn, beets, lettuce, spinach,
etc. His mistake was In making but
one planting Of each, then when the
crops were gathered he had nothing
more coming on. Successive paintings
Of many Of the garden crops pay well.
Poor preparation Of the soil was the.
mistake made last year by a large
number Of the gardeners who attended
the experience meeting. Persons who
have not had a farm or market garden
training seldom appreciate the need
Of thoroughly preparing the soil be.
fore planting. Letting the weeds get
start was the major mistake Of an
other group Of the gardeners. The
time to kill weeds is when the seeds
nrst sprout In the soil and before they
become established. One gardener
said that his greatest mistake was In
allowing the bugs to get ahead Of
him and that his crops were reduced
In yield as a result. Another gar
oener stated that he did not arrange
his garden properly and that the
taller crops shaded the low ones.
One planting Of beans in the home
garden gives the family a taste-two
paintings gives them a fair supplv-
and three paintings will provide plenty
TOR the greater part of the summer.

trade catalogues, but two or three va
rfeties viii give sufficient range for

Ciaring White Lights
Not Popular in Homes

"The most restful, cheerful abode
in the world is the American homey
so made by the demanding Amer
lean woman. She demanded luxuri-
GUS touches, instead Of Anticipated
stiff-backed chairs, and she got
them. She now demands delicately
colored electric lamps to displace
the glaring white ones and she is
using them to advantage in beautify-
ing the home, according to Elec-
trical World.
"The keen demand for flame,
amber, lemon and other delicately
tinted finishes that are beginning to
gain favor in the public eye may do
as much to build popular apprecia-
ton Of what light can do to beautify
the home as any other thing that
has yet happened" the publication
states. "Let flame and colored
lamps become fad and people In
10000 homes will be experimenting
to see what effect the flame tint
has on the wall paper and rugs. The
idea viii do much to arouse pop
ular interest in the art Of lighting
and such an interest will lead to
both a more intelligent and a more
bountiful use Of light"
The interest OF the American
woman in home illumination has
given rise to the establishment Of
lighting courses in many education
al institutions in connection with
household economies and domestic
science departments.

Back Yard Garden
and Its Problems
Soil, Seeds, Sunshine, Mois-
ture and Brains Among
Essentials.

Records kept through period of
several years by about 800 cottage
gardeners indicated, or proved rather.
that a well-cultivated vegetable gar
den paid them at the rate of about IS
cents an hour for their labor ard on
an acreage basis the returns at mar
ket prices were about $3.50 an acre
Not all the gardens yielded at this
rate, many Of them not half that
amount. but considerable number
gave higher results so that the aver
age for those recorded was about SIS
from tenth-acre garden.
Results like the above are seldom
obtained in general farming or truck
growing and come only from intensive

Fruit Trees That
Need Little Room
Dwarf Varieties Are Giving
Results, Says Department
of Agriculture.

Since tae cottage garden Is usually
quite limited In area, II Is necessary
to plant fruit trees that win not oc-
cupy too much space. The dwarf apple
and pear trees Ill this need admirably
end are giving good results in the small
home fruit garden, suggests the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Dwarf apple trees are propagated on
what are called Doucin roots. Doucin
trees being dwarf in habit OF growth.
and when the ordinary varieties Of APP
Piles are budded or grated on Doucin
roots the resulting trees are OF medium
size.
The advantage Of using dwarf trees
Is that many different varieties Of ap-
Piles may be grown on a small piece of
ground. The trees are small so they
can be easily pruned and sprayed.
Dwarf apple trees may be planted IA
feet apart each way, and should they
make such vigorous growth that the
limbs touch across this l4-foot space.
they should be kept pruned back so
as not to crowd
Dwarf apple trees should be only
one year old when planted. and should
consist OF n single shoot. The tree
should be set In the ground about an
inch deeper than II grew in the nursery.
II set deeper than this. roots will start
from above the point Of budding or
grating and change the tree from a
dwarf to standard. In case II does
happen that roots are sent out In this
way and the trees make very vigorous
growth. II becomes necessary TO do
root pruning. This Is easily done by
spading around the tree and cutting
of few of the uppermost roots within
about feet of the tree trunk.
When planted the top Of the tree
should be cut or about 20 inches above
the ground. This will cause II to
form a low top. After the first years
growth the branches are cut back
about one-half After the second and
third years growth the new branches
are cut back about one-third to one
half, and any crowding or crossing
branches are cut out. After the third
years growth. very little pruning Is
necessary. except to cut out any crowd
ing branches. About the fifth or sixth
year from planting, the trees usually
begin fruitlng.
Dwarf pear trees are planted and
handled the same as dwarf apple trees.
Peach. plum. cherry and other fruit
trees, should be planted m the cottage
gardenf in all sections where these

tivation, however, the cottage or home
garden should be handled the most in
