Where the apace requirement of
cabbage will not limit the use of
ot&er regetables, the gardener should
plan for a aupply of this atandard
cooking and sslad crop for year
round use. Orowlng good solid heads
of cabbage Is not the easiest garden
Job. but It can be successfully done
If the grower will proceed as the
Datura of the vegetable demands.
Bow Indoora In flat and then
transplant Into the garden. In mild
climates, direct sowing In the ground
or In the cold frame Is permissible.
Oood rich aoll, plenty of moisture
and cultivation are needed to pro
dues the crisp tight-leaved heads.
They need at least i feet each way
In the garden.
. If you grow a large number or
plants, you should plan for different
varieties. Some Should be ready for
early consumption, and others, which
will keep better, for winter's use.
The Bavoy type is an excellent type
aaay to grow. It la perhaps tbe best
quality of all cabbage, but should
be grown for Immediate use aa It
W1U not keep well.
. Set the tiny plants out aa soon as
she soil is workable. A light frost
will not hurt them, and the oool
days of early spring will help to
make them tender. Like radlahea and
lettuoe they want a fast growth,
and will respond quickly to culti
vation, moisture and addltlona of
plant food. Watch for the oanbage
worm and caterpillar, and bs ready
with a good Insecticide to kill them
before they do any daman.
sift the exftTH to ee used
IN STARTING SttOS IN POTS
OR FLAT. IT IS EASILY DONE
ANP WEL. WORTH i He EFFORT
You can beat nature at It own
game. If you will start your annuals
early In a seed box or cold frame.
As much aa three weeks , can be
gained by this method with some
subjects and the early bloom and
longer season make the effort very
worth while.
The old -fashioned seed box In a
sunny window Is a practical way,
lacking a hotbed or greenhouse, to
get this early start. Any shallow box
with good drainage provided by bor
ing holes In the bottom and filled
with mellow soil will serve for a seed
flat. Cigar boxes will do, or you may
construct others of sturdier mater
ials.
Sow seed thinly even In the seed
boxes. Have extra boxes filled with
soil ready to transplant Into when
the seedlings reach sufficient size so
that they touch each other. By thin
sowing transplanting Is made easier
and there Is smaller loss of plants.
The soil should be sifted for the ,
seed box and carefully leveled and
firmed. A brick Is excellent for this
purpose. The seed Is best sown In
rows Instead of the old-fashioned
method of broadcasting It. This
makes it simple to transplant. Cover
the box with a pane of glass and
keep moist but not wet. Wipe the
moisture from the glass as It accum
ulates so It will not drip upon the
seedlings when they are small. He-
move the glass for a few moments
fro mtlme to time after germination
to harden the plants and to mtnimlzo
the chances of damping off.
The must effective use of annuals
Is In borders of various combinations
of color such aa blue and pink,
mauve and rose, orange and yellow,
scarlet and orange and other color
achemea.

Low Cost - Exceptional Beauty
(vmiMw t oen.ral belief, almost
anyone can have a beautiful, vel
vety green lawn. To be sure, certain
fundamental principles must be fol
lowed, but they are few and very
Umple to grasp. If your lawn mak
ing effort have not been crowned
with success, try again this spring.
If you follow the suggestions below
carefully you will always have the
kind of lawn you've alwaya wanted:
BOIL: A sandy loam la Ideal for a
lawn but not a necessity. It la woll.
however, to approximate thle type
of soil, which can be dons by work,
lug In a llttl sand with soils which
consist principally of clay, or work
tag In a llttl clay with soils that
are very saniy.
PREPARATION OP SEED BED:
Bpade tlie area which Is to be msde
into a lawn to the epth of sis
Inches, provided this I no', deeper
than the top soli covering the are.
After spading work the aoll with
the ho and rake until It la finely
pulverised.
APPLY1NO PLANT FOOD! Apply
four pound of complete plant food
per one hundred square feet evenly
over the area and work It lightly
Into the top couple of lnchea of
aoll. Thle la Important for few soils
contain. In an available form, the
many food element grans plants
need for healthy growth.
SEED: As In most minus, cheap
seed I false economy. Buy good
ee1 suitable for your location. Con
sult your local seedsman. Remember
that shady areas In your lawn must
be seeded with shade -tolerant grasaea.
SEEDING: Apply the seed evenly.
If you seed by hand, apply half of
the eed lengthwise and the other
half crosswise. After seeding, roll the
area or tamp It with a wide board
to assure good contact of th seed
with Mie aoll.

using a very fine spray. Water dally
thereafter until the seeds germi

CLIPPING: Do not let the new
lawn grow higher thsn three Inches.
Never cut It shorter than one and
one-half Inches. Remove the clip

It Is best to make your lawn as
early In aprlng a possible, for then

CHATS WITH THE
l yaR
3. Caring for an BstahiMied Lawn
Vou remember I told you In our
Inst Utile chat that weeds are the
result of thin, sickly grsss and that
the best way to Improve the Brass
Soil Study Important
A FEW minutes consideration of
the condition and make-up ol
the soil In your garden Just before
planting can make a marked differ
ence In your success as a gardener.
Clayey soils require tbe most
careful handling but ara heavily
productive. Sandy soils ara "early"
and sandy loams are just about
Ideal for moal borne garden crops.
Peas, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli,
cauliflower, beets, carrots, radisb
and onion prefer plenty of moisture
and moderately cool temperatures
during development. These should
be phinted about as early In tbe
spring as the soil can be worked in
order that they may develop before
tbe extreme heat of summer sets in.
Tills early planting will yield an
abundance of early produce for use
during; Spring and Summer and for
canning. Plant most of these again
during the Summer, timing the
planting date so that the crops Will
grow and mature during tbe cooler,
molster Fall months.
Sweet corn, beans, tomato, pep
per, egg plant, cucumber, melons,
squashes and pumpkins are not so
hardy as those listed above and pre
fer plenty of heat and sunlight for
best development. They also pros
per best when ample moisture Is
available but are able to do well
during comparatively dry weather
They do best on loamy soils bul
carefully prepared clay soils pro
dues splendid crops.
Herbs do well in comparatively
poor soil and maintain growth
under ratber drouthy conditions.
Under the same conditions, radish,
turnip, parsnip, salsify and other
root vegetables may be expected to
perform fairly well.
It you must do some of your gar
dening In ground that Is semi
shaded, try growing beans, radishes
or peas.
and get rid of the weeds is to feed
the grass. J recommended that you
use a complete plant food, one that
supplies all eleven of the food ele
ment your growing things need from
the soil. And you remember I stress
ed the point thnt lawn feeding
should be dons good and early, so a
to give the grsss a good hesd start
over the weeds.
By early feeding, I mean Just as
soon aa the front Is out of the ground
the first two or three Inches. After
you've given the grass a square meal
you ran wait a bit, till the soli Is
completely thawed out and dry
enough to work. Then go after the
places where the grass was killed last
summer. Try to snalyre each apot and
see what CAuned the trouble. If the
soil hsd too much clay In It, so that
It baked hard qnd dry, spade In some
sand or fincly-stftcd ashes to looson
It up. If on the other hand It waa
too sandy, so that It couldn t hold
wster enough for the graaa, you can
tlx It by mixing in heavy black
loam, or peat moss, or well-decayed
mulch such as labt year's riesd leaves
snd grass clippings. Then mix In
some complete plant food. If you're
working on small patchea of ground,
use about one heaping tableepoonful
of food to every squsre foot. On
larger arena you can figure two quart
to every 100 square feet. Mix It well
Into tho soil, working It down three
or lour Inches Into the ground. Then
apply your Brasa seed, using the very
bent wed you rnn Snd plenty of It.

The week-end house In Connecti
cut shown today provided the archi
tect with an Interesting problem
of achieving artLstlc freedom despite
the very low cubage cost.
The elte also posed Its-own prob
lem, as did considerations for prac
tical week-end use.
The result Is a comfortable, rest
ful country house.
Walla are double, the outside
painted a light buff. Red quarry tiles
were used for coping and window
sllla. The steel aah and other trim
are painted red-brown, the garage
doors buff.
The reinforced concrete walla In
the living room, laid up with mov
able molds, were left untreated
Celling Joists were stained, with In
sulating board between under the
second floor. The fireplace also heats
two supplementary air ducts.
Herbert Ltppmann Is the architect,
and the house la one of a series of
distinguished small homes appearing
in "Architecture."
Rako the seed lightly Into the soil
and water gently but thoroughly-
and don't let the aoll ever get really
dry until the new grass la growing
strongly.
Now I'd like to say a word about
rolling a lawn a subject very few
, people really understand. A lawn
: should be rolled Just once a year, and
there's only one correct time to do It.
That's early in the spring, when the
ground Is Just dry enough to be firm
after frost has left. Boiling at that
time removes the air pockets caused
by the frost, and pushes the grass
roots back Into the soil where they
can get nourishment.
Now, about cutting your grass let
It get three Inches high In the spring
before you cut It the first time. If
It's newly planted grass, set your
mower to cut no closer than two
Inches. If It's pretty well established,
you can cut It down to an Inch and
a half. And It's wise to use a grass
catcher on your mower; clippings
left on the lawn tend to form a sort
of mat that hurts the grass.
And now Just a word about water
ing. It's a good Idea to water your
lawn leas frequently and do a more
thorough Job of It. You see. frequent
light' waterings draw the grass roots
up near the surface. Then when the
sun gets good and hot these shallow
roots dry up and die. But If you give
the soil a real drenching, get It wet
down at least three or four Inches,
your grnss will grow deep, strong
roots and will resist hot weather
much better.
Novelties add new interest to an
old garden. Get a few of the new
annuals, and some of the new vege-,
table varieties. I
