Professional gardeners, who devote their lives to main taining the beauty of private es tates, take pride lo their vegetable plantings. The beauty of vegetable plot lies in its order, with crops grow ing in straight parallel rows, plants properly thinned to give them room, rows squared with plot boundaries, and not a weed to be seen. , Not only beauty, but efficiency is gained by such a layout One quick trip with a wheel boe down the straight aisle between two rows will destroy hundreds of weed sprouts, in a fraction of the time required to cultivate a dis orderly garden. Rows should be spaced with varying distances between them, depending on two factors: The -the erop, and the con venience of cultivation. In rich the rows. Crops (rowing twelve Inches tall or less may be placed It inches to a foot apart if cultivated with hand tools. For a wheel hoe, , eighteen inches is likely to be a minimum distance to avoid dis turbing the roots of the vegeta bles. Taller vegetables, and these that make vines, large bushes, or have a sprawling habit, must be given more distance between rows, la small gardens, 4 feet will usually be the maximum distance, given only for such crops as bush squash and cucumbers; After you know where the rows are to be, a line should be stretched to mark the first row. construction. !- vegetables may be spaced: You. can paint or wallpaper immo- niore closely than In poor: but1 diately, instead of waiting for when spaced too close together, months for walls to dry out. 1 it Is difficult to cultivate between IARCI GRAFTED HOLLY TREES PERENNIALS fall Weekends, or After I p.m. Sam Wrlnmsa, till N.

He built a house without having engineer check on his bound aries. After the house was completed, he found that he had used the front corners of his lot and the rear corners of the adjoining lot in placing the house. Both his mortgage and title were in jeopardy, with the house being too close to his real boundary. He was required to buy the adjoining lot- .. George F. Anderson, legal expert of the National Assn. of Real Estate Boards, in cit ing this case, observed: "Not to get a survey before build ing is nearly always a pitfall. The "man was lucky to be able to buy the adjoining lot, as L assume, at a reasonable price. This situation is a per fect setup for extortion."
