MODKL PLAN FOR A FRUIT AND VEGETABLE GARDEN 67 BY 100 FEET.
BY INEZ GAGE CHAPEL.
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.

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.

ton sort should produce eight quarts
to the same amount of vines, and the
tall late varieties will yield still
more freely. The earliest peaa are
best to can.
Beets will be ready for use In seven

cabbacre should be set in place of

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. Your

Candidum Lily Introduced
From Southern Europe.
Gardeners Say Bulb of Northern
Kranee Moat Dependable.

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."
