Gardening Is Interesting
And Profitable Sport
J*
Gardening is no longer the hob
by of a few who “like to burrow
in the back yard.” The garden is
the playground of many men and
women to whom the boon of fresh
air, sunsfiine and healthy exercise
would be denied otherwise in any-
thing like the necessary propor-
tions. Wholesome contact with na-
ture, while right at home, ia a
common custom nowadays and an
important factor in health and wel-
being.
This easy access to the out-of-
doors is not only healthy, but pro
ductive of substantial results. Un
like the golf links or the tennis
court, the garden brings a return
in growing things, in addition to
the returns in health. The sport of
gardening pays for itself.
It is like all other goods sports,
you have to get into it to find
out how interesting it is. Once
started, every day brings something
new, some more interesting experi
ence or success.
A good vegetable garden will
tend to reduce your grocery bill,

beans, cabbage, beets, carrots, cel
ery, salad plants, such as lettuce,
cress, endives, and on down the
list to water-melons, potatoes, peas
pumpkins and other according to
individual taste.
It is well to sow your seed
early in the spring as possible. In
the climate of the Pacific north
west and the Pacific coast, a suc
cession of crops is possible. Many
Jiome gardeners have learned the
value of sowing succession crops
throughout the summer and until
late in the fall. In this way, fresh
vegetables for fall and winter use
are provided, in addition to those
needed for the summer table.
Getting good seed- is half the
battle. Even the most experienced
farmers have to watch this factor
closely. Seeds that are free of
weeds are produced by a large
seed company by methods which
are more painstaking than the in
dividual could practice. The most
careful trial growings, methode of
ripening, threshing and storing, pro
duce tested seeds of known quality
and measured productiveness.
For the best nesults in the Pa
cific northwest should
be - sown
with seed produced in this section.
They are more suitable and more
productive, because grown in a
land favored by climate, soil and
rainfall for seed production. Such
seed is ‘ also more quickly pro
ductive in more southerly climates*
than is seed produced In these
same warmer localities. It comes
in earlier, probably because it is
harder and more resistant. In a
warmer land, with less risistance to
overcame, it forges to the top
more rapidly.

interest in gardening, mora gen

be planted toe beet results. In
addition there are pointers
on
lawn making, and pages of grass
seeds and seed grains. It lacks
the old-fashioned colorful exag
gerations, and its perusal is an
interesting and practical resume of
methods found to be the most ap
plicable to thia section.
