If you _can‘t Go you can Grow H * Many of the unsightly corners seen in our back yards can be improved by planting pole beans and will produce a quantity of good wholesome food besides. There is one yariety than can be ‘\ had at any of the city seed stores called the Kentucky Wonder. _ This produces a vine sometimes 15 feet high and bears long slender _ pods of beans which are a pretty brown in color. The pods grow as long as ten inches and contain from 8 to 12 good sized beans, _ which are delicious in flavor and we strongly recommend the reader _ to try these out. A couple of long poles can be used on which to trail and if a pole or two is placed across the top in a T shaped afâ€" fair, the vine will trail over this in a pretty effect. Here is one inâ€" stance of how you can hide an unsightly corner and at the same time _ produce a lot of good food. They require a longer season in which to mature than do the bush varieties, but by reason of their strongâ€" _ er growth are more productive than the bush varieties and growing on poles are more easily gathered. If the pods are gathered as soon was they mature the vines will continue to bear to the end of the :fiseason. If you have a few old dead trees do not take these out, as " they can be trimmed or cut down to 10 or 12 feet and used to trail _ vines over or pole beans, etc. Some very fine effects can be had out of old tree stumps or old trunks »by treating them in this way. There are a lot of very unsightly fences in Weston and the owners of them with very little thought or labor could make these beauty spots by nailing a few poles (rough) from the posts and crossing these with others over which a vine can run or some food producing climber. The sides of the sheds, barns, stables and other places that have not seen a coat of paint for years could be vastly improved if they were covered up somewhat. 7 ; 7 An arbor or a trellis does ‘not need to be of fine lumber, as the most artistic ‘effects are those where ordinary saplings of birch (or any good wood that stands the weather well) are used. The simple forms of construction are the best and any boy or man can easily erect some simple design over which a climber will wend itâ€" _ self into a pretty, artistic effect if aided a little at the start. Plan now for your garden. It is your patriotic duty to produce. k _ ANSWERâ€"If you want a nice crispy lettuce, get the New YÂ¥ork cabbage head variety. This does well in this locality and grows similar to a small cabbage. It is beautiful and crisp in the centre and is self blanching. In using it cut the top off only, and leave about an ich of growth and this will grow out again and proâ€" duce a second growth. The explanation of why your lettuce is betâ€" ter is most likely because your soil is sour. ‘Dig some wood ashes or lime into the trenchgs and this will have a wonderful effect in sweetening it and producing better stuff. _ Nearly all seeds can now be had in early, medium and late varâ€" ieties and by a judicious selection of these a succession of crops can be had until late autumn. ENQUIRYâ€"Can you tell me what is the best kind of lettuce? I see nice crispy lettuce in the shops but do not seem to be able to grow this. Is it the fault of the soil? Ours grows large but leafy and gets bitter later in the season. . Now that the seeds are being planted the following hints may be of value to some. A great many seeds are so hard shelled that they are almost impervious to moisture and must remain in the ground a long time before they begin to sprout. These may be greatly hastened and their growth improved by soaking them. Among these are beets, parsnips, salsify, carrots, etc. To steep, use fairly hot water, but not hot enough to scald them. About 24 hrs. is preferable time forâ€" soaking. Deep planting is often the cause of seeds refusing to sprout and it also retards the growth if they do sprout. Common sense and judgment must be used after taking into consideration the character of the soil. The seedsmen generalâ€" ly give explicit directions on planting, but these instructions are Gften disregarded. Seeds must be covered deep enough to secure the heat and moisture and air needed for perfect germination, and no deeper. Depth depends on variety of seed, character of soil, climate, and time of planting. In heavy or clay soils the seeds should not be as deep as in sandy soils. In early spring the soil is cold except on the surface and therefore at this season the seeds should be nearer the surface than those planted late in the season when the surface is dry and hot and the moisture and gentle warmth are deeper down. Some seeds germinate more rapidly if planted edgewise and with the germ end down. This is particularly so with all vines. Melons, squash, cucumber and pumpkin sprout more readily and with greater certainty when placed upright with the germ down, while lima or other beans do better planted edgewise, with the eye down. f For arbors, trellises and porchesâ€"Woody vines, or those which hold on by strong, stiff tendrils or leaf stems, should be selected. Grapes are good, but if used as shade vines, they should not be pruned very much and consequently they will not bear well, but will run to lots of vine and leaves. Dutchman‘s Pipe, the Trumpet Creeper, Wistaria, Honeysuckle, or Clematis are fine for this purâ€" pose where hardy vines are desired, while Adlumia, Balloonâ€"Vine, Cypress Vine, Morning Glories, Moonflower and various ornamenâ€" tal beans are splendid varieties, but tender. If a rapid growth and dense covering is wanted as where rubbish piles, brush, or other unsightly spots are to be hidden, the various gourds, wild cucumâ€" bers, or even pumpkin or squash vines will serve, but the common morning glories or the old favorite, climbing nasturtiums, are more ornamental and grow almost as rapidly. Where the proper condiâ€" tions prevail and care can be given them, there is nothing better or more ornamental than the various climbing roses, especially the erimson rambler, These latter have to be tied up as they do not cling. ‘ ; A look around our town will convince anyone that a lot of the unsightly outbuildings and fences could be vastly improved in apâ€" pearance by planting a climbing vine to trail over the most conspicuâ€" ous part. For the covering of such objects the common English ivy is excellent or on enquiry through this paper will advise you where you can get lots of the wild grape vines, which can be had for the going after, and these grow fast and produce beautiful folâ€" iage. There are lots of the Japanese varieties of climbers that cost very little and are preferable where quick effects are desired ; the Virginia Creeper is another and is brilliantly covered in the autumn when the leaves turn red and crimson. These cling closely to walls and if aided a little now and again by tying to a nail here and there in a season or two the unsightly place will be covered up.
