GARDENS TEAGH CHILDREN E'ST NATUR RUTHS a successful vegetable garden In Port land and vicinity. ' J; There Must be cabbages, cauliflower, tomatoes, radishes, onions, lettuce; every well regulated garden contain these, and then of course one can raise peas, beans and other things' besides. For some varieties It la better to buy the small plants and set them out than to await the development of the crop from, the seeds; at least an earlier crop is secured, and perhaps. In the instance of the novice at the game, a more cer tain one. " : The best location for a garden is a well drained plot with a southern, ex posure. 7 But the success of the garden depends upon more than a suitable lo cation. The care of the soil la an essen tial feature. The garden should be spaded twice before planting.

"Plant trees, Jack thea be a grow ing when you're dying," said the Scotch laird to his son. To all cities I would say: "Develop your school garden. It will ' give -you better citlsena and a more beautiful city." Our school grounds should be radiat ing centers for civic improvement. They should be well planted and well kept the beauty place of the neighborhoods. The school garden should be the nerve center for all the home gardens of the neighborhood. That has come to pass In the city of Cleveland, where the school garden idea has carefully been worked out Cleve land has a home gardening association that has accomplished much for the betterment of the homes. It did not arrive until they worked through the public schools. In one school of 300 pu pils every child had his own home grown vegetables on exhibit at the an nual show. . .. - We have the soli and the climate; and commercial gardens. Commercial gar dens do not develop home gardens. The school garden does. It has done It In many cities. The great planting season is at hand. Now Is the time for people to realise the possibilities of their back yards for vegetables, their front yards for flowers and both yards for fresh air and exercise. This is the great plant ing, time. , , My middle west mind marvels at it even yet and my thrifty middle west soul marvels still more at the economic waste. There are, broadly speaking, two gardens for this country, tbs large soring garden and the good sited fall garden. Then-there are certain num bers that might be on the program every month in the year. Lettuce, radishes, .parsley, carrots, beets and spinach the year round, with certain seasons of greater abundance. There are two crops of potato, three of cabbage and several of peas, beans, turnips and onions. I . was fortunate enough to live next a commercial gar den last year and it was a delight to watch the skillful Italian gardener en rich his soil constantly and as con stantly keep it at work producing; no economic waste there. One vegetable roiiowea on the heels of another. A great many of our peonle. Intel llgent people, too, look on gardening as a sort of mystery, something that can only he properly done by China men. It is . high time that we made this mystery plain and made a good - knowledge of- gardening the. common property of all our school children. mai garden now is . tne time to make It ready," Mr. Portland House holder says to hlmaelf, as he surveys the vacant area in the back yard that is devoted each season to vegetables. He Is a busy man but has found from . experience that gardening, that is the kind j)fgardenlag-.that he practices witmn toe 'sunny, confines of his sub urban lot possesses a fascination that cannot be thrown off. His successe and failures in this Uttle plot of ground stand forth clearly In his mind and for several weeks now he has been anxious ly awaiting the time when he can match his skill with Mother Nature and plant a vegetable garden that will be mors fruitful than last year's. . . " Each morning of late he has paid the prospective garden spot a visit before going down town to his business, pacing off the subdivisions that will be set out to the different plants. Each evening ; the process has . been repeated, an Imaginative mind running ahead to the late summer months when each patch will' have, yielded Its ' quota of H good things to the family table..
