cool weather but very little frost. At
the end of the line are very tender
plants that can stand no frost at all

While a natural, rids, open loam
makes tli t garden soil it is pos-
sible to snake practically any type
suitable.
_With both clay and sand cultivation,
plus the ine�orporation ,of ratted vete
table' matter will work wonders. One.
of the best treatments, of course, is
plenty .of beerreerd, manure, 'but: this
is mot always available and especially
so in urban locations. Geed sub-
stitutes' are vegetable refuse like tops
of beets, carrots, pea pods, lawn clip-
pings, eta., • or specially sown green
eats, rye or clover dug or plowed under.
With clay this opens up the soll • and
makes it more easily weirkable, less
inclined_ to bake__ . With .seedy roped,
the manure or vegetable Material adds
strength and helps it retain moisture.
