But it is a whole lot simpler and quicker when we , do have this help. And with gardening the same is true, 'only here the manual or instructions are called the seed catalogue, 'Prat guide and particularly if it is. a Canadian seed catalogue, is virtually in- dispensable. Not only does it list all the varieties of vege- tables and flowers that are suit- able and have been tested for Canadian conditions, but it gives other vital information such as how to plant and when, heights, how many days till flowering or maturity, §pecial likes and dislikes about soil, fertilizer, sun, moisture and so on. And remember this: Not- withstanding the good natured fun poked by those who have never had the thrill of picking their own flowers or harvesting their own home grown sweet corn, the pictures of flowers and vegetables in the seed cata- logue are from real and unre- touched photographs. Anyone with a little care can get the same precisely in his own gar- den. By C. A. DEAN,' M.D. MEDITORI.AL: The insepara- bility of mind and body is seen daily in my practice. Hardly an illness is free from the mutual effects, Observations over the years have shown the mind to be the more influential of the two since most reactions to ill- ness depend on • the patient's make-up or - persohality. To some extent, a person's suscept- ability to certain diseases can be pre -dieted from his person- ality. It has been shown that simi- lar personalities which resppnd to specific life situations,. inathe same • fashion are more likely to have the same diseases. For example, those who are excit- able and aggressive are more susceptible to heart disease. These persons are always ready to do battle, and to maintain a - body- secretes adrenalin readiness, the Timely Hints state of copsta adrenalin and _ other hormones. It is believe:! One is -missing a whole lot that over a period of years this of fun and satisfaction by stick- ! to the same old varieties n a of dr nalin has g over -secretion e a year afterY ear. It is an excel- an adverse effect on some a- P lent idea to deliberately choose bents. By contrast, persons who are not as aggressive or excitable may react to serious disease, such as cancer, by giv- ing up hope. This hopelessness and feeling of futility was re- sponsible for many deaths among American war prison- ers, especially during th=Ko- rean conflict. Although the theme of "the will to live" may be corny and overdone in our novels and movies, it nevertheless is real. It is something doctors learn to appreciate from experience and is part of the art of medicine. If there were no influence of personality on disease there would be no need for the un - Concentrated Vegetables For the small vegetable gar- den we should take into con- sideration the amount of pro- duction per. footRpf row and concentrateon those which yield heavily. Peas, for instance, aren't very big plants but their yield per foot of row is light. Beans, on the other hand, are extra heavy yielders and a 10footrow will supply the av- erage family with a great many meals. Lettuce, spinach, radish, onions, beets, carrots and even cucumbers are also heavy yield- ers, giving lots of top quality food for the space occupied. Corn, tomatoes, squash and pot- atoes take up quite a lot of space and the person with only a few s ware yards of bed avail- able .had better leave these things to the neighbor with the bigger lot. In these small tiny vegetable gardens we usually plant much closer together than usual and we can also increase total yield by alternating early vegetables with later ones, and by planting two crops say of such things as lettuce, green onions, radish and spinach which are ready in a few weeks. For Easy Indentification The experienced gardener, of course, can identify most flow- ers'and vegetables as soon as They haVe sprbuted, - ev en though the first leaves of these may not resemble those of the mature plant. But the beginner. sometimes wonders when the garden starts to sprout just which are the flowers or vege- tables wanted and which are the weeds. There are several ways of making identification easy. If the seeds are big and. the mature plants to come from them of fair size too, then with each seed one can insert a stake or mark where the plant will appear. But •with tiny seeds and smaller plants such as rad- ish, carrots, alyssum or verbena, for instance, staking is not prac- tical. In this case it is best to sow in straight rows for the vegetables and, if possible, to place the . seed uniformly two inches or more apart, according to directions on the packet. Then when -sprouting starts ev- erything in the straight line and evenly spaced will be good plants, all the others, weeds, and they should be removed. In the flower garden we can get much the same effect by planting as, uniformly as pos- sible in a circle or clump. NEW HOUSE DESIGN Here's a small three-bedroom house with some unusual fea- tures and a lot of privacy. De- signed by architect J. de Ker- esztes, of Montreal, it offers a large combination living -dining room with dimensions of 23' 4" by 11' 10". A large living room window looks out -over the patio that screens the main entrance to the house. The bedrooms are grouped at the rear of the house with a dressing room providing access to the bathroom from the master bedroom. An open stairway leads to the basement from the central hall. The floor area is 1,076 square feet and the exterior dimen- sions 24' 4" by 44' 21/2". Work- ing drawings for this house, known as Design 2309, may be obtained from Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation at minimum cost. one absolutely new flower and at least one new vegetable each season. In this way, we broad- en our knowledge and make many worthwhile discoveries. Don't burn all the brush from the spring pruning. This makes excellent support for climbing and tall flowers and if placed fairly early it is soon hidden by -new growth. A few minutes with an old file taking the rough edges off hoes and cultivators will be re- paid over and over again in quicker and cleaner cultivation. A little oil rubbed into wooden handles of rakes, hoes and spades, too, will make them derstanding family physician. easier and safer on the hands.
