TIPS to
Gardeners
GARDENS OF QUALITY

= - -
HERE have been changes in
S1recent years in garden prac-
tees that are worth reporting.
Gardeners formerly allowed vege-
tables to grow as large as possible.
This procedure gave a higher
yield in pounds, but very often it
lowered the quality of vegetables.
Some vegetables, of course, like
tomato, must be mature to be pal
atable; but carrots, cucumbers,
beets, summer squash, turnips,
radishes, and others are more ten
der and tasty when not much
more than half grown.
Gardeners are finding that it is
wise to plant oftener than once or
twice a year, to maintain regu-
lar supply of proper-sized vege-
tables. Gardens prove more en-
joyable, and more profitable when
successive paintings of favorite
crops are made every two or three
weeks, providing garden-fresh
vegetables for the table over a
long season.
It is also true that few garden
ers today save flower seeds. Fine
flowers growing in the home gar
den often are cross-pollinated by
others OF the same species, max
ing flowers grown from their seed
inferior, and untrue.
