Thla economic feature of veg etable gardening I not the Import ant one, of courae. but it la eatte fylng none the leaa, and makee the hobby more lntereatlng. We think of flower growing, or photography more often aa hobblea, They aeem to have an eathetlo qual ity entirely apart from the neoeealtle of life, and by Indulging in mem, we feel we are getting iplrltual bene fits which we would not ordinarily get In the general run of thing. The fact that we eat the vegetable we grow may dampen the enthualaam of aome and nuke It work Instead of pleasure. But, the real gardener never think of this. He knowa that there 1 as much beauty In orderly row of green and yellow vegetable aa In flower. Beauty In planta la a relative thing. All plant bloom when they come to maturity. Dahlia root are good to eat when properly cooked, but we nover grow them for that purpose, because ,ve have other root In the vegetable garden which we like bet ter. Why then should we ay that the brilliant green foliage of car rota, or the tender leaves of lettuce re not beautiful? Designing a vegetable garden ahould be aa Important a your atreet front landscape. Make It a comfortable place to work In and play. Make use of flower border and accent, trim the paths, and keep the rowa clesn and straight.

Thla brilliant flower, which comes In all colors of the rainbow except orange and the deep yellows, can be used for many purposes. It la excellent for bedding and will flash forth with a dawdling sheet of color. Varieties of iho compact typ" uisfcfi fins dwarfs for edging, and all of them can be used for making bouquets. The blues, reda and purplea are particularly vivid and there la a magnificent array of pink and rose shades with eyes, edgings and strips in some of the varieties. Their fol iage is subordinate, the whole plant seeming to blare with tiny blossoms supported by firm stems. It Is one of the easiest annuals to grow, and comes Into bloom very quickly. Almost any type of soil will do, but the richer It la the more vigorous the bloom and the longer the season. Sow In the open ground aa soon aa the soil Is warm and thin to alx Inches apart. It la better to sow and thin than to transplant, oa It does not stand transplanting a well as some of the other annuals. APRIL 28 LIMIT The calyx spray on apple and pr ree should be completed by April 9fl, according to the advice of C. B. Cordy, assistant county agent, and I. O, Gentner, entomologist of the Southern Oregon experiment station. It will be necessary to apply this Kpray to all varieties of pears, since quite a few moths have already been caught In bait pans and egga may be expected to hatch by the date given above. The calyx application on pears ahould be made when most of the petals have fallen.

The other feature of vegetable gar dening which makes it e. hobby In stead of a Job Is the quality which can be grown with a little careful work and select ion. Many of us look forward to the months when we can get tomatoes In aeajion, because they Are so much better. But tomatoes grown In your own garden and taken from the vine only whn thy are ripe are a half better. Thla la even more true of aweet corn and peas, and even string beans deteriorate much In a few days on the way to market.

Modern meth ods of storngo and refrigeration have Improved the market vegetables Im measurably, but It still takes many hours or days to get them ready for the table, during which time they lose much of their sweetness and healthful qualities. On the other hand, the housewife can purchase only the standard and time-tried varieties on the market, whereas if she grows them herself, she has the choice of hundreds of types and varieties to fit In with her garden conditions and her fancy, and always havo the newest and the bent. although It can be handled In this manner If the root aystem Is not dis turbed.
