Vegetable Growing
The address of Mr Pond on Vege-
tabe Vowing wao it valuable one
He advocated the growing of potatoes,
onions, and Tomatoes, to•gother with
porn, carrots, beans, beets and cabbage,
His instructions were clear, and con-
eiso, and must prove of great value to
hoes who heard him.
Perhaps, instead of urging people
who want only a few tomatoes, or Cabb-
age planta to grow thele in a hot bed,
he should have advised growing them
to a pot of flowers in the window, and
then transplanting into card hoard
boxes. 11 is both simples. and cheaper
