In gardening the amateur is well edit/Med, to follow this natural example. Straight narrow fences, abrupt and cremating carnets around garage or house, narrow straight sidewalks, all unduly emphasize the confining limits, of small lots. These, howelver, can bee, made to appear many times more spacigus. le the fences and! walls are partially covered with vines, if corneas are sicreened •with ,shrubbery, leading down, totend annual flowers.

First Vegetables First vegetables •to be planted in the swing are spinach, all sorts of lettuce, radish and peas. Once upon a time gardeners advised against the early sowing of peas for fear need' might rot in wet cold ground.
