It will supply sufficient tometoés to eat raw all summer and for canning for the winter supply. Before it és time to put in the tomato plants #t will give a liberal supply of eanly rad- ishes, lent lettuce, young onions or epinach. Among the tomatoes during the year a few plants of Swiss chard will give a supply of greens ell summer. The same plot, after the early spring hervest, may be used for beans ell summer, planting it at in- tervals in succession. It may furn- ish a supply of green peas planted early and followed by turnips, cab- bage, cauliflower or a few etalke of Brussels sprouts to furnish a deli- cacy for the Thanksgiving and Christ- mes tables. This vegetable is always expensive, but as easy to grow as a cabbage. ---- h 4 be ' ° * UDm vr ' LARA FEsesnsrnaaAnRnsannnnd® 4 a py x ---- x v o. & 3 Be a FABIAN P INS pad na ad - - \ PLAN FOR A VEGETABLE «ADEN IIG A The small plot, after the radishes jE TOMATORS small a plot would furnish several of the delicious Golden Ban- » the real quality of which is mever found in the market.

Humanity Hives upon the vegeta- tion which clothes the earth, wheth- er it be directly upon the roots, leaves or fruits of the field, or upon the flesh of animals nourished upon i i : : The economy of the home garden and the mecessity of providing for ourselves so far as possible, brought directly home to us during the World 'war, still endures and is recognized in the bundreds gardens ' which now flourish none flourish- ed before. There is a place for a garden in every back yard where the sun penetrates. The only Place unsuitable i¢ the yard in con- tinuel shade, for plants must have sun to flourish. Jn the very small plot it is best to grow only one of two favorite vege- tables and to secure a supply of them rather than a few samples of a great. or 'number. The bealth-giving and preserving qualities of a freer use of vegetables in the diet is now widely recognized. There has been a wide aprend reform im our habits of feed- ing since these facts have become thoroughly proved and demonstrated, particularly in. the freqiient use of green vegetables, The discovery of the important pant | 1 fag i { Honey, comb...

The surest supply and the only guarantee of fret quality is in the home garden. Numerous vegetables must be eaten freshly gathered to be at their best, and this, of course, is impossible in the market, where they must be held over night at the least. No one can have real peas uniess he growe them himself. The same is true of sweet corn. These two vege- tables cannot be kept longer than four ance of the guality of freshness some of the healith-gtving properties of the plants disappear. So the spring elog- an should be "Garden for Health." In addition to the benefits to be we- oured iby eating fresh vegetables, the exercise of caring for a garden is not en inconsiderable factor. The man or woman who cannot find the time or the opportunity to ewing a golf dlub can get the same results with a hoe, and produce something besides a score. The home garden gives both food and exercise, both conductive to better health and strength. KEEPING UP FERTILITY. There is nothing that quite takes the place of animal manure in pre- paring sofl for the garden, so it is a good plan to be on the lookout for a supply and etore it, if necessary, or spread it upon the soil as soon as it can be procured, even if the ground is frozen, to spade in when spring opens. 'We are nearing a period of intens- ive culture. The same space of ground in a French or German gar- den, horticultural experts tell us, will yield often double as much is the same space in an American gar- den because of intemsive culture and constant fertilisation end tillage. Fertilizer and humage should be add- ed to the ground for the vegetables each year. The compost heap is becoming a regular dnstitution. Grass clippings, weeds that have been hoed or pulled up, autumn leaves, tops of vegetables, old pea and bean vines; in short, afl of the vegetable waste of the prem- ises should be staked up and wet down from time to time during the summer to form humus, which is merely decayed vegetable matter, but the finest fertilizer we have. In addition to the plant food it contains it is especially valuable in adding to tne quality of the soil, and because it holds moisture lke a sponge. Humus is now sold by the barrel or by the hu gardens of clay or sandy soil, which need it, can be furnished very readily. But spad- ing in decayed or halt-decayed leaves each year is much the better method and will soon bring the soll to a tiith and fertitity that will be surprising. Thé annual spading does much for the quality of the eoll, admitting the air and sweetening it. It should be spaded in the spring and fell. With the application annually of fertilizer, preferably stable mamure or home: mada compost, with some commercial fertilizers during the growing season, it. will ibe only a short time before the yield will show the results of the work end the growth of the vege- tables will be so luxuriant that the owner will feel wéll rewarded for his toil. Autumn leaves in many garden club communities last fall were at a Bromivm, the members cleaning up meighborhood for their compost heaps and taking the supply from neighbors who did not have gardens. Muich from the garden should be stacked up this spring to start a com- post heap. It is best to make the pile flai-topped, with a depression in the centre to oatch the rain and cause it to ceep into the centre of the pile to basten rotting. Suds and table siops may also de thrown upon the pile with a good advantage, as moisture is necessary to produce compost. Do yon remember the mistakes you made last year? Try to remem- ber them when you plan your garden th's year. Don't plant too many seeds of one thing.
