Half the pleasure and profit of a garden Is derived from having some thing to use just as early In the spring as possible. In many cities and towns the local greenhouse men grow thou sands ot plants which are sold to home gardeners at reasonable prices. It often happens, however, that borne gardeners do not have the opportunity to purchase well-grown plant* and must start their own supply of early plants tn the house or in a hotbed If they desire to have their crops mature early. Among the garden crops that an*.v be started to advantage In this Ananner are tomatoes, early cabbag*-, peppers, eggplant and lettuce; even cucumbers. melon* beets, snap beans, lin.s beans and sweet corn may be started indoors by using flower pot* gaii-er bands, or berry boxes to hold the soli.
