Last year in this little backyard garden we . grew lettuce, racliehee, onions, peas, beets, bunch and stick beans, tomatoes, Cucumbers, red pep- pers, and celery, Peas, to be at their best, should be gathered while still small and tender. Furthermore, the chemical changes that take place in this vegetable are more marked andmore rapid than in almost any other. There is all the difference in sweetness and in flavor between peas that have been off the vine from twenty-four to forty-eight hours when compared with those gath- ered in the forenoon and sesved at the midday meal. So we say that for one who really cares for peas the best way to have them is to grow them. In growing peas we have not found the ' strictly dwarf varieties best. Personally we prefer the semi -dwarf kinds, as they require less room and yield more abundantly. If bits of brush are not available for sticks, a few short kindling pieces may be driven into the ground on each side of the rows about 8 or 10 feet apart. Binder twine or cord of any kind may then be strung on these, a round be- ing added from One to time as the vines gain in height. Our little garden spot was not na- one or two main central stems.

Beans and tomatoes melte by the most of bhe late summer garden, but before cold weather head lettuce and celery arc growing .between the rows of tomatoes. Celery, as every experienced gardener knows, heads best in cool weather only, the growth here being made principally in Sep- tember.

One piece is sharpened and this nailed to another. Two 4 -foot pieces will give a 7 -foot stake, allow- ing one foot for lap.

It is a succulent vegetable, easy to grow, easy to cook, easy to Gan. No vegetable gives more bounti- ful returns for a small amount of i�snb- or or offers a greater variety of uses. A row •twenty feet long planted about this time will give an abundant supply for a family of five for the whole sea- son if only the outer ribs are cut each time and the remainder of the plant is left to grow. With the price of asparagus out of reach of ordinary mortals, Swiss Chard is really an excellent sub- stitute. It can be served as' a hot vegetable with sauce, or as a salad !with French dressing or mayonnaise. The young leaves can be cooked in the same way as spinach and the largest ribs Out in small pieces and icooked like celery. Or, again, they can be cut in five -inch pieces, boiled for from twelve to fifteen minutes and chilled before serving.
