it is not loo early to
' start plans for the garden that one
lias dreamed of during the winter
months. Experience is not necessary
for there is really no mystery about
growing flowers and vegetables. With
a little planning, some healthy exer
cise and a small outlay of cash, the
ordinary back yard of weeds and spin
dly grass flanked by unsightly fences
aud leading up to a garage or chicken
house may be changed into something
upon which the eye will delight to
dwell. Those beautiful vistas of broad
lawn sweeping up to an informal bed
of flowers, or those prim rows of
green-topped vegetables are not hard
to obtain. Given a seed catalogue, a
spade, and a bit of vision, anything in
the garden line is possible.
Planning the Garden.
One can put in a garden without a
plan, but the results are" apt to be dis
appointing. It is advisable to take
an evening off this week and lay out
the vegetable plot on paper. Even if
the backyard is only a matter of a
few feet each way, it is surprising the
amount of crisp vegetables whiclrmay
be grown, particularly if one
little care in laying out.

simple’ inches apart, except those for some of
? the taller or more spreading- sorts
i such as corn, tomatoes or cucumbers,
j which should have a full yard be
tween. When it is not possible to use
a horse, carrots, beets and such can
be cut down to twelve Inches aud
beans and peas to fifteen or eighteen.
This, of course, is rather narrow. It
it a good plan to have alternative
rows of quick maturing stuff like let
tuce, spinach, or radishes, which will
be used before the rows of later ma
turing vegetables spread out. In or
der to get the most of the sunlight run
the rows north and south. To con
serve space, stake tomatoes and place
all climbing vegetables next the fenqe.
It is advisable to grow the flowers for
• cutting in with the vegetables, as
these plants are seldom allowed to
reach the ornamental stage. Many of
them, such as sweet peas, are not at
tractive and do best under regular
vegetable garden conditions. A few
showy annuals such as, poppies, zin
nias, and perhaps a few cosmos in the
corners or at the end of the rows will
not be wasted here, as they add a
touch of color to the otherwise solid
green.
Laying Out the Flowers.
Little planning is necessary in lay
ing out the annual flower garden,
Here straight rows, so desirable in
the vegetable patch, must be avoided
at all costs. The most attractive lay
out is the informal one. This, how
ever, does not mean a jumbled mass.
Best results are obtained by grouping
several specimens of one type and
color in clumps, with the shorter stuff
such as alyssum and ageratum at the
front, zinnias, marigolds, asters and a
score of other medium sized sorts far
ther back, and along the rear the cos
mos, dahlias, and similar plants. An
other point to remember in planning
the annual flower garden is that a suc
cession of bloom is most essential. A
good flower garden should make a
show from earlj'- June until frost. Cali
fornia poppies and cornflowers or
bachelor’s buttons may be counted on
for early bloom, and these along with
the annual larkspur and cosmos may
be sown on the late snow. Calendulas,
candytuft and coreposis, which also
can be planted early, will start bloom
ing in early summer. Nasturtiums

had sown the seed just as he had re- . ceived it, allowing 15 pounds to the
acre, this would mean that 17,280 Can

a million other weed seeds. Each seed
