DEAR FIUa.VDsi: We have made our hotbed and planted It; we have looked after the fruit we have and planted more; we have some of uiv had our gardens plowed and others are just waiting for 'them to dry up a little to do so so that it is now fully time we should make very definite plans as to what we intend to plant in these gardens. Every successful garden begins with a plan, detailed and definite, and sucli a plan is not to be made In a hurry. It requires considerable thought enough arithmetical ability to match datas and count days, and careful inquiry into the family likes and needs. If none of your family likes carrots as a vegetable, why raise more than a few feet of them for seasoning soups and stews? If you are especially fond of green on ions or radishes, put little extra rows of them In anywhere, along by other vegetables They take up so little room that the other vegetables will never know they are there. On the other hand, don't plan to raise a lot of corn or squash in a lit tle garden they take up too much room. Be very careful in immediate use upon the table. It is cheaper and less work to buy canned vegetables than to buy part of our vegetables fresh and can part from our garden. If you have a plot 40 by 50 feet it is said that you can produce all the vegetables, except potatoes, needed for immediate use by a family of five people, together with some for storing and canning. Also in a small plot you will want to raise those vegetables which cost the most and those where you get the biggest returns from the ground space I invested. As mentioned above, corn takes up too much room for its yield in a small garden, as do dry beans, potatoes and the vines cucumber, squash, pumpkins and melons. How ever, there are ways of planning to overcome this. It is said that cucum bers may be trained up on a trellis or other support and squash may run along the fence. Tomatoes should al ways be planted nearer together In a small garden and trained up to stakes. You will not get so many from each plant, but the tomatoes will be more perfect. A row of Golden Bantam sweet corn along the north side of the garden (where it won't shade smaller plants) is most desirable if you can spare the spake. If you plant much corn, however, it pollenizes bet ter to plant it In a square. What to Plant. 1 m going to tell you what vege- jvui uiaiNiiiiK i" .i.i ... . . . nbn fnr v.,r ,-,t hi. . I seem to me most aesiraoie ior Many vegetables you will sow in suc cession a little row every two weeks but what you plan to can you must sow enough of each variety you like at one time so as to have a large yield of each to can at one time. These and many other considera tions like what vegetables your gar den location 'and soil may be adapted to all enter into the problem and render it quite complicated. A carefully made garden Dl&n mav rnst L nilnihpr nf Avonirifu' hiinl ' study by the family council, and some of you may say: "It isn't worth it for what we get out of our gardens" and probably it isn't, but it would be worth It for what you might get out of them. Try It this year and see. To the true lover of gardening, how ever, making the plan Is anything but a task, and a study of the seed cata logues a most fascinating occupation. I will give a suggested plan with to day's work, but of course it will not meet any of your reeds exactly. Pome specific suggestions as to what must bo considered in making your plan may also be hclpfuL Location and Soil. If your garden is on an elevated hillside you must plan your rows bo run across the slope, whether that is north and south 'as generally rec ommended) or not. If you do not, rains and Irrigation will marke gul lies of all your rows between vege tables. Then this soli will dry out readily and yoi must plan for spring and fall crops mainly. Corn and po tatoes will stand the heat and dry weather of summer, if very carefully and thoroughly cultivated, and the hot weather plants will grow well, also, if carefully tended. These in clude tomatoes, peppers, squash. pumpkin, cucumbers and melons. Dry beans will also mature well If you keep up a good sou mulch. On the other hand, if you live In a low, level place where the grass is , naturally green all summer, you must plan quite a different garden. It will be hard for you to ripen some of the above hot-weather plants, and your early spring and late fall crops are mors liable to be caught by frost unless protected by buildings, etc. You probably can raise the spring crops during the summer. Celery will do finely In your location and lettuce, spinach, peas and all the other mois ture-loving plants; Then as to soil: The Ideal soil Is a rich, mellow loam, but these two qualities are often not combined in the soli of your garden. Much of our soli here is clay, which is a strong, rich soil but not mellow. If we do not add animal manure or "green manure" leaves, grass clippings, or the gTass or weeds on It plowed un der It becomes almost as hard as a brick In summer, unless kept thor oughly cultivated. Our sandy soils, or sandy loams, are very mellow. It is a delight to work in them; they spade and work up so easily. They are warm and oft, and our early garden planted in them comes on wonderfully: but they are so porous that summer rains run right through them and the sun soon dries out anv moisture remaining. Also they have little fertility, pure sand being a collection of minute pebbles, and so cannot nourish the growing1 plants in summer. . They need humus well rotted manure is beet to bind the soil together and cause it to hold water as well as to furnish plant food. Don't plan for a summer garden in sandy toll SUe of the Garden. Next we must consider the size of our garden plot, for If we have only a tiny plot a few feet square it Is use less to think about producing vege- lAhlej E other purpose ihaa ioji home garden in the order in which I would add them to my list if I had very little room, or more or all the room I wanted. 1. I would plant a little parsley if I had only a plant crock or window box or a few feet of garden soli. It is most satisfactory to use the year around and mine kept through last December here without any covering. I. Beans. Practically e v e r y o n e likes beans and they can be used as string beans, green cooked beans and dry beans. 3. Peas. The legume- (beans and peas) have the most food value of all vegetables and peas are also delicious canned. i. Lettuce, especially the solid head lettuce healthful and useful for salads and also for garnishes. 5. Onions, especially green onions. A bed of dry onions also if I had room and rich soil for them. 6. Cabbage old-fashioned useful standby for all seasons. . 7. Tomatoes, for salads, cooking, canning and pickling, ripe and green. 8. Beets, both early and winter rich in food value. 9. Radishes an appetizer; take up little room. 10. Turnips a welcome variety; take little room. 11. Spinach general favorite; good blood builder. 12. Parsnips ready in spring when green vegetables are most needed. 13. Cauliflower a very fine vege table a little harder to grow than cabbage. 14. Carrots; at least a few for fla voring; very healthful. 15. Broccoli winter cauliflower; very desirable. 16. Brussels sprouts a delicious winter vegetable. 17. Salsify vegetablo oysters; ready in spring. IS. Peppers- take little room; fine for salads and pickles. 19. Kohl-rabi a good spring and fall vegetable for variety. 20. Sweet corn very desirable to plant anywhere there is room. 31. Cucumbers same as above; a relish only. 22. Squash-lso takes much room unless run between corn. 23. Potatoes our most important vegetable, but takes much room and is comparatively inexpensive to buy. 24. Celery a hard crop for ama teurs to grow unless soil Is Just right. 25. Melons take much room and are not sure to ripen .here. 26. Pumpkins take much room; cneap to Duy. 2i. Kale takes much room; much like spinach. zs. UKra ntue Known and may not ripen, out pods are used green. -a. r,ggpiant not sure to ripen nere ana not a general favorite. Of course your taste will vary from mine, but a new beginner may find some helpful suggestions here and the order follows the size of your garden. Yields of Vegetable. We cannot have space to follow the above through, but will give a few suggestions as a basis of calculation. Bush beans mature in six to eie-ht weeks. An average approximate yield in fair soil well cultivated will be from five to ten quarts from 15- foot of row, depending on variety planted) say an average of one quart to every two feet of row. Better make frequent small plantings of rows 15 to 25 feet long for table use and a larger planting et one time for can ning. Pole beans mature in eight to ten weeks and yield about one quart to a hill, but continue to bear as long as mature pods are picked. teas .Very early lUmi fliay opt DID YOU EVER see a Market Gardener buying seeds and plants from a grocery, drug or depart ment store?

The earliest peaa are best to can. Beets will be ready for use In seven to eight weeks from time of sowing. Taken from seed bed and transplant ed three inches apart, a 15-foot row will yield 60 beets. Cabbage Early cabbage can be set close enough together so that a 15 foot row will yifild 12 heads. Winter cabbacre should be set in place of earlv peas, potatoes or other vege tables. Corn A 15-foot row may reason ably be expected to yield 30 ears. Onions (dry) A 15-foot row will vield about ! peck of bulbs. Potatoes A half bushel .to 15 feet is a good yield of garden potatoes. Tomatoes Gardeners reckon on three dozen to the average plant, varying in size with the variety. Vegetable for Winter. The winter supply of vegetables stored and in the ground is said by Mr. Field in "Seed Sense" to form nearly 70 per cent of the year's sup ply, so the winter garden would be of really more importance than the summer garden; but we should plan for both. Just as fast as our spring garden matures some winter vege tables should go Into the vacant space, remembering always, however, that plants oannot grow without food and you must add fertilizer to your second crop. We will discuss this later, but It can bo planned for now. Rotate Year Crop. In a garden of any size it should al ways be planned to rotate the crops that is, do not plant your potatoes .where b.?S. yerc last jcar, nor jet where you had the land very rich for onions, .etc. Potatoes do not want coarse manure or ashes in their soil. In general, study the kind of soil re quired for each vegetable and trade them around in new and suitable places. This is just as interesting as a 'game. As far as practicable those vegetables which are planted at the same time should te grouped to gether. Also those which require the same time to mature and espe cially the winter crops so that they will be out of the way of your fall plowing. Drawing the Garden Plan. The last stage in garden planning is putting your scheme permanently on heavy paper or on pasteboard. Draw a diagram- of your garden to scale, with each row indicated. Note down on each row what is to go in it and what it is to be followed by. Un less you have done this you have no idea what a help it is. You can or der your seeds with certainty. Almost any seed catalogue will tell you how much seed you need of each to plant 50 feet or so of row, so .you can figure out just how much seed you want and buy It now before any variety is scarce. Measure your garden exactly and draw your diagram with a ruler. "Drawing to scale" is done by. fixing whatever unit of size you wish, de pending on the size of your garden and of the plan you desire. If you let of an inch equal one foot, a garden 40 by 60 feet will be 5 Inches by 7H Inches In your plan. Using the same measure for all your rows, patns, etc., your garden will appear before you on paper just exactly as it will be when planted. Letting 'A of an inch equal one foot makes ' your garden plan Just four limes, a? large as above, while if you have a large garden and want a smaller plan for it 1-16 of an inch to one foot will make your garden plan only a quarter as large as the sug gested It -inch to one foot A number of evenings spent on per fecting this plan is time well spent. You will get twice as much in quan tity and twice as much satisfaction out of a garden carefully planned in this way as we have read "the plan's the thing." General Sog-gentloas. 1. Always plan your rows to run north and south if possible, so that the sun can shine on both sides of your plants. 2. Always plant your taller vege tables on the north side of your gar den. Your fruit trees should be on the north side with your bush fruit next them, then tall sweet corn at the south end should be the vinesand hot-weather plants like tomatoes and peppers. 3. ' Jse left-over seeds when you can. Last year's seeds will probably all be fertile except those of onions, spinach, carrot and parsley, which should be purchased new each year. 4. Plan for some permanent beds asparagus, rnuparD, norseraaisn, arti chokes are easily raiseo. ana aoove all, have a strawberry Pea. 5. Plan for the intensive cultiva tion of a small .garden by planting vegetables nearer together than usual and then adding fertilizer and work ing the soil well. Do not have a foot of vacant soil. As fast as one crop is harvested put in another a winter vegetable and fertilize again, fer tilizer Is much cheaper than vege tables. Next week we will consider tne earliest planting of the garden.

Gardeners Say Bulb of Northern Kranee Moat Dependable. vkM 1: I II f ILIUM CANDIDUM, a native of XJ southern Kurope, was introduced in 1596. making it the oldest lily in cultivation. It Is not only the love liest of lilies but the hardiest of the white lilies. Some gardeners may be inclined to dispute the hardiness of this lily, probably from the fact that they have purchased what looked like fine, strong bulbs, but were not care ful to Inquire where they were grown. Great quantities of candidum lily bulbs are grown in the warm climate of southern France, and these bulbs planted in the autumn do not stand severe winters well, while bulbs from northern France can be depended on to thrive if properly treated. Ben Jonson referred to the madonna lily when he asked: "Have you seen but a whyte little blow?" Materl'inck said of it: "The great white lily, the old lord of the gardens, the only authentic prince among all the com monalty issuing from the kitchen gar den, the ditches, the copses, the pools and the moors, among the strangers come from none knows where, with his invariable six-petaled chalice of silver, whose nobility dates back to that of the gods themselves the im memorial lily raises his ancient scep tre, august, inviolate, which creates around it a zone of cha.sitty, silence and light."

This product is made of green cow manure by putting it through a dry kiln with heat enough to evaporate the water and kill all weed seed without burning the compost or destroying the fertiliz ing elements. It Is then ground fine and sacked. Hundreds of our Gardeners and Farmers have discovered Its great value, and are buying large quan tities.
