EVERYBODY GROW EATABLES The Essentials in Planning (Garden,. Bcst Varieties to Plant. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) T NO TIME in many years has the necessity and importance of the home vegetable garden been so clearly shown as for this coming summer. France, our wonderful ally, has since the French Revolution been a nation of small farmers, her people of small means cultivating some available land to produce a portion of their own house- hold foodstuffs and to increase the wealth of the nation. Great Britain, threatened with a shortage of food- stuffs, determined to cultivate all available land possible to offset this shortage and we, in Canada, bending every energy toward facilitating these great nations should do all in our individual power to do something in the hope of helping, ourselves and assisting the commercial vegetable growers who are seriously handicap- ped by the shortage of Labor in the production of vegetable foodstuffs. Every city, town and village dweller has an opoprtunity to help in this great work, in that Nemo are hun- dreds of available .plats now practi- cally unproductive, sskbeh could be made grow vegetabdee atsd thus add to the wealth of the seembey. Vegetables an Important Food. Vegetables should form an import- ant portion of the daily food of the average'. human' being for they pos- sess qualities which we sem told are essential in the prefer digestion of the heavy foods, suck ad meats. All backyards ea timet be prepared in one year to grow vegetables of an. excellent quality. Some portion of the. yard, however, may be devoted to this purpose, or, if it is convenient, there are usually many vacant lots which are not too far from one's place of abode which possibly could be de- voted to the growingof vegetables. Some. Essentials. First of all it is essential that the vegetable garden, , no matter how small, be planted according to some plan or rule. No one attempts to build :a house or to set out a peren- nial flower border without using some drawing or chart to go by. Why should the vegetable garden be treat- ed differently? Haphazard planting will prove a failure, and in order to overcome this it should be remember- ed in laying out the garden that- (1) hat(1) Tall plants will be most effec- tive if placed behind low ones, not intermingled' with them. (.2) "All plants closely allied should be grown together, not in the same row, but in rows adjoining one another. . (3) The fences may be decorated with vine crops which may be support- ed on the fences by means of strings or lattice work. (4) All quickly maturing vege- tables should be planted in a portion of the garden by themselves so that hey may be harvested and the ground used for other crops later on. Secure Seed Now -But Plant Only When Soil Is Ready. The back;,ard gardener should de- cide very early which crops are to be grown and should purchase his seed as soon as possible. It must be re- membered, however, that much of this seed may be wasted if it is plant- ed too early in the season. The soil must be warm to receive the seeds, and amateur gardeners must have patienceuntil it is certain that good, growing weather has come. It is pos- sible in ordinary seasons to plant some vegetables in April, and yet many backyard vegetable enthusiasts will be well advised to wait until the middle of May before doing very. much in the garden. Suitable Varieties. A list of varieties suitable for gar- dens made by city, town and village dwellers follows: Asparagus -Palmetto, Conover's' Colossal. Beans -Davis' White Wax, Golden Wad, Refugee.

EVERYBODY GROW EATABLES The Essentials in Planning (Garden,. Bcst Varieties to Plant. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) T NO TIME in many years has the necessity and importance of the home vegetable garden been so clearly shown as for this coming summer. France, our wonderful ally, has since the French Revolution been a nation of small farmers, her people of small means cultivating some available land to produce a portion of their own house- hold foodstuffs and to increase the wealth of the nation. Great Britain, threatened with a shortage of food- stuffs, determined to cultivate all available land possible to offset this shortage and we, in Canada, bending every energy toward facilitating these great nations should do all in our individual power to do something in the hope of helping, ourselves and assisting the commercial vegetable growers who are seriously handicap- ped by the shortage of Labor in the production of vegetable foodstuffs. Every city, town and village dweller has an opoprtunity to help in this great work, in that Nemo are hun- dreds of available .plats now practi- cally unproductive, sskbeh could be made grow vegetabdee atsd thus add to the wealth of the seembey. Vegetables an Important Food. Vegetables should form an import- ant portion of the daily food of the average'. human' being for they pos- sess qualities which we sem told are essential in the prefer digestion of the heavy foods, suck ad meats. All backyards ea timet be prepared in one year to grow vegetables of an. excellent quality. Some portion of the. yard, however, may be devoted to this purpose, or, if it is convenient, there are usually many vacant lots which are not too far from one's place of abode which possibly could be de- voted to the growingof vegetables. Some. Essentials. First of all it is essential that the vegetable garden, , no matter how small, be planted according to some plan or rule. No one attempts to build :a house or to set out a peren- nial flower border without using some drawing or chart to go by. Why should the vegetable garden be treat- ed differently? Haphazard planting will prove a failure, and in order to overcome this it should be remember- ed in laying out the garden that- (1) hat(1) Tall plants will be most effec- tive if placed behind low ones, not intermingled' with them. (.2) "All plants closely allied should be grown together, not in the same row, but in rows adjoining one another. . (3) The fences may be decorated with vine crops which may be support- ed on the fences by means of strings or lattice work. (4) All quickly maturing vege- tables should be planted in a portion of the garden by themselves so that hey may be harvested and the ground used for other crops later on. Secure Seed Now -But Plant Only When Soil Is Ready. The back;,ard gardener should de- cide very early which crops are to be grown and should purchase his seed as soon as possible. It must be re- membered, however, that much of this seed may be wasted if it is plant- ed too early in the season. The soil must be warm to receive the seeds, and amateur gardeners must have patienceuntil it is certain that good, growing weather has come. It is pos- sible in ordinary seasons to plant some vegetables in April, and yet many backyard vegetable enthusiasts will be well advised to wait until the middle of May before doing very. much in the garden.
