a «4 t L n" CoHASSET HERALD-REVIEW IT PAYS TO ADVERTI i THE HOME GARDEN PROBLEM DISCUSS Horticultural Expert Tells of Pre- paration of Soil and What To Plant. The garden should be located as near the house as possible. Any good land will produce a vegetable crop of some sort. Early crops, such as radishes, lettuce and onions, should be planted on @ southern slope, and on soil that is light, rich, and that warms up quickly. This soil is not fas good for late crops, because it, dries out very quickly in the sum- mer. For the late crops, or vege- tables such as cabbage, potatoes, etc that do not mature until Jate im sum- mer or fall, a somewhat heavier soil may be used, and where possible a northern slope is preferable, as this is protected from the south winds, which are usually very drying. The land should be thoroughly ma- tured with well-rotted manure. Com- mercial fertilizers, such as nitrate of soda or some similar fertilizer, m: ¥ be added to the soil in some cases to advantage. This is especially true in the cultivation of the leaf crops, such as spinach and Swiss chard. Plowing is one of the important steps in cultivation. The care and thoroughness with which a lot is plowed means much when we come to work it. The land should be plowed from 4 to 8 inches deep, de- pending om the soil. Usually we would prefer to plow in the fall, as this rids the land of insects, opens the soil for the action of the weathe, and buries weeds and other trash that may be on the nd. The next pest thing is to plow or spade the land very early in the spring, the earlier the better, to enable the ground to settle before the crop is planted. After plowing, the land must be harrowed thoroughly. The more twork that is done before a garden is planted, the easier it will be to take care of afterwards. If the gandem was plowed in the fall, nothing further should be done to it until spring, when it should be harrowed. In a small garden lot, where all the work is done by hand, it is often an advantage to go over the land with a garden rake and get it per- fectly clear of sticks, clods, stones, | ete., pefore planting. Thesg this are always a nuisance and it pays to remove them, especially from the! {part of the gardem in which the | roots and small vegetables are to be! planted. Where the garden is large enough, in place of the rake we may use a plamk or a very fine-toothed harrow. : After getting the land thoroughly prepared, the next thing is to line it out and plant. The rows should be straight; and, if the garden is to) be cultivated by a horse they should run the long way of the garden: | Where hand tools are used, it is very often more desirable to run/ the rows the narrow way of the gar- den. Do not ridge nor hill any garden crops. This is extra labor, ! and in many cases is a detriment to the planting. All garden plants may | be sown on level land. Seed should | always be sown in freshly-stirred sc’, This gives it am even chance with the weeds. If the land is loosei and a little dry, firm well over o the seed.

H It is important to get the very best seed possible. Seed is cheaper than lapor, and very often the high-priced . seed is cheaper than inferior grades. It is well to test the seed before planting, if very much is to be used. | Hach gardener has his own ideas of what vegetables and flowers he wants, and the quamtity. I may want a large quantity of sweet corn and! tomatoes, while my neighbor may want cabbage and onions. That is his privilege.

It is not necessary to have a lange area of land te get good returns. Often the 6 or 10acre farm returns as much as one of 40 or 60; good results are! often obtained from the city lot 50x150. It depends very much on the man, as well as on the crop raised. | The average value of garden stuff’ per acre is between $100 and $150 | per acre, while grain brings about $11 to $14.
