One of 'the satisfying things about
,garaeiting is that one may spend as
little energy or money as one wishes'.
1 Yrnllhe some strenuous. hobbies , this one
•elastic. There is scope for the most
elaborate planning and designs, for
an immense amount of exercise if one
feels that way. On. the other hand, if
time or health is limited, or if one 1
`feels like loafing, them one can have
'a garden to suit that motel, too. Ono -
cannot say that a small flower garden
,etas beautiful than a large one, but,
there -is ! ditferenee in the amount of
work involved.
It is really amazing the results in
satisfaction and beauty one can get
-from a tiny plot of flowers. And it
will not • take mue'h work either. A
little digging and a few packets of
seeds or boxes of started plants are
all that are needed. If one has more
time, it can be enlarged, and as one's
'interest grows litore frills can be added.
Sonie'enthusiasts,' for example, plan
all blue or all yellow flower gardens;
some - prefer sharply coat casting
'borders. The beginner, and mast'
others, however, are advised to stick
to fairly sixuple designs, with irregular
clump plantings rather than straight
rows. And also; instead of solid sheets
of one color, a continuous display. of
bloom will usually give more satis-
factory results.
Big Borders
A really wonderful showing can be
made with a big bed of annuals and at
surprisingly little cost. Where space
is available one should not crowd these
things. Iudeed, in very long borders
along roadways or paths it is possible
to do much of the preliminary cultiva-
tiou with ft, hand -drawn or tractor -

available, closer planting is 'advised
in order to get more bloom.
New Varieties
Both beginners and old-timers should
remember that the business of ilii -
proving tto*ers and vegetables does not
stand still. There are strains and
types today that were not in existence
before the war, and each year there
are some brans,-- new varieties. It is
a sound rule to try something new each
season. In this way, variety and in-
terest will be added to the garden.
Even the old Standbys like Golden
Bantam corn and Rosy Morn petunias,.
to mention only two have been vastly
improved. Plant breeders are ' con-
stantly, striving for new colors, more
disease resistance and hardier and
earlier plants.,
Paths '.and Roadways
Much will depend upon how much
they are to be used, when, and what
materials are available, when one be-
gins planning paths and roadways. If
traffic is light, good firm grass will carry
many feet, and if the ground is dry
a car, too, occasionally. As a general
rule, however, something more per,
manent must be laid down for motor
traffic and the same is advisable, too,
where there is inuch tramping back
and forth. For pathways, flagstone,
brick, cinder er crushed gravel is'avail-

able. For the sake of the Iawnmowcr
it is desirable to have atones or other
material as flush as possible with sur-
roandiug .sod, and gravel, 'cinders, etc..
should be fine and preferably pressed
firmly together so that they won't
scatter on nearby grass.
..For roadways, crushed gravel, con-
crete, rolled asphalt, bricks, cinders,
flagstone embedded in concrete, are all
Suitable. Where a loose material is
cased most gardeners, keep weeds down
by applications • of commercial weed
killers, waste oil or rock salt. These
help to bind gravel, too, keep down dust
and discourage frost. With roadways,
good drainage is essential. A six- to
ten -inch layer of coarse stones or rocks,
beneath the fine material on top, is
advisable, especially where the ground
is heavy, or where frosts are severe.
" Garden Equipment
With a small, garden all the tools
needed are a rake, a hoe and a spade
or digging fork. These are minimum
requirements. With a little• more
equipment much labor can be saved.
Digging forks, cultivators, special
weeders, dutch hoes, etc., will make`
the work easier and iuore interesting.
For larger gardens a small garden
