over long period Of time, we
should stackle the problem from
another direction. The catalogue
is the usual approach, but the gar
den plan is sounder, more objec-
tive method.
Planning garden on paper is not
difficult task; in fact it's fun
We can try out number of schemes
and then select the best, the one
that makes the fullest use of avail
able space. OF course, most gar
deners want to grow sweet corn, but
when the plan shows that the small
planting of sweet corn that is want
ed means leaving out two entire
paintings of beans, we realize that
corn Is a space consuming crop
which does not belong in the small
garden.
The plan should show where each
crop is to be planted, the variety, the
distance between the rows, the length
of row for each planting and the
date Of planting. The amount of seed
needed might we'll be shown as an
aid to checking the quantity to buy
Most seed catalogues tell how long
a row a packet will plant These
are all useful bits of information
the gardener will need when he
starts actual operations. They should
be on the final plan. The prelimi-
nary plans usually show only the
kinds and the date of planting.
The preliminary plans. usually
made on cross-Section paper OBJ
tanned at the drugstore or and 10
should, show the location of each
planting. 1t takes five to seven
paintings of snap beans to provide
continuous harvest from early
summer until late fall. Four plant
ings of beets and three or four OF
carrots are needed if we are te
have tender and nutritious vege-
tables for the table at all times
Only one planting is needed of to-
matoes, chard. onions. New Zealand
spinach, cucumbers and eggplant
Their harvest either extends over
considerable period or they take
SO long to come into bearing that a
second planting cannot be made
There are crops that because Of our
climate must be planted at a def
mite time in order to mature during
favorable weather. Peas, turnips
endive, kale and broccoli are in this
group.
The plan should take into con-
sideration the slope of the land, for
rows should run across the slope
not up and down it. Sunshine is
needed for the growth of all of the

are planted on the north side of
the plot. the lowest growing crops to
the south. Shady spots, suitable
only for parsley and celery. should
be kept in mind. Warm. dry spots
are best for the early crops.
The making of plan that will
weigh all of these factors and
round them into a definite garden
objective is a worthwhile evenings
work-one that will return the effort
