What have proved the best wit-h him. will generally suit your own location, although it is always ad- visable and interesting to try one or two new kinds each year. Depend upon standard varieties which have stood the test of several seasons.` however, for the main crop. Do not try to grow too many kinds in a small garden, and only grow those for which a taste has been develop-' ed. Order plenty of good seed, the seed cost is the cheapest factor. in gardening. so that there will be plenty to replant it some accident such as a vtlood or a frost spoils the u-.o in Man sumraze Harden. it will ood rt-ost spuus me first. In the average garden. pay to plant a few rows of the har- dler sorts very early. even it there is only a fifty-titty chance of these coming through. Theeearllest and most quickly grown vegtables are the beat. and because they are early they are relished more than those which come later. To hasten growth, provide 9. supply of nitrate of-soda. which should be applied at the rate of about one ounce to tour square yards of soil every two weeks for the first month or two after -the garden of soil two ween: wr Luv that month two garden is put in. T: Study the Catalogue While`the modern seed catalogue is even more attractively and col- orfully illustrated than those issued years ago. which constituted a stock joke for cartoonists and special writers. the -book today is an, up-to- the-minute and accurate ~fund of information vfor any gardener. De- scriptions can `be absolutely depend- ed upon, and illustrations are from actual photographs. Ama- teur gardeners would be well advised to supply themselves with a catalogue (before attempting to commence operations. Many of their questions will be answered and varieties will -be fully explained. In most of the catalogues today will be found very useful tables in the vflower section which will give the height, time of flowering. and the adaptability of the plants to cer- tain conditions. A selection of dif- ferent types of the same vegetable is listed so that one can have a suc- cession~o'f peas,_corn. and similar vegetables which will extend his season well beyond the average of a few years ago. some Handy Annuals Even the busy person who cannot afford to spend very much time on the garden. can have a garden con- taining m-any `brilliant annuals. Of course. these must be easy to pro- duoe. requiring little care _and "not much in the way of special location or soil. They must bloom freely, 'i urn:ishing_ a good supply of owers throughout most of the season. They must not be too particular in the way of steady watering because we are planning now a flower gar- den tfor the busy person.` Gt died from all of these points. the .fo om- ing list seems to come as close to . sake. because. only Nasturtiums and Scabiosas -in the above list have the requirements as one could siibly expect: lsnapdragons. golds. Pop ies, Larkspurs. tiums. 'Sca iosaspzinnias and Sal- piglossis. For a hot, sunny and sandy spot Portulaoais unexcelled. This low spreading bright flower will thrive even when neglected. With these annuals and possibly Mignonette added for fragrance ari- any noticeable perfume. the garden will last from m d-June until autumn and about the only requirement will be the keeping down of the weeds in the season. and cutting off Iading iblooms later on. With the exception of the poppy. which does not last well in water. and the port- ulaca, which is rather too small to clip. all these `flowers will furnish an abundance of bloom for the vases indoors."1`hey can be planted in clumps or beds. depending on color and Han. early Nastur- - Ululupa U: and size. GWITIIIIU ,. -uvvu one of the first jobs to be carried out after a. new house is built` is that of, making the lawn. The soil must be put in fair condition, as grass require food Just the same as flow- ers. Make the surface level. To do this it is well to take over` as evenly .. ...-...n.1n ham or three times. Elv- this it is Well to rake over as Gvuluy as possible two or three times, giv- ing rains and perhaps a freeze or two a chance to settle the soil in between rakings.;Remove all broken` bricks." stones. sticles and similar material Just as soon. as you can get on the soil in the spring without getting your shoes muddy. It is best to sow the seed in the evening or on a dull day when "there is no wind. `One pound 0-! seed is requir- ed for every two hundred `square feet. and where the place is shaded sgeclal seed should be used.,I-loll in t oroughly. or if no roller is avail- aible use a pounder. 'I`hegrass- should be out with a sharp mower as soon as it is a few inches high. -One of ` the Ibest fertilizers to use on the new lawn or on any lawn in the Spring is nitrate of soda. The best way to apply this is to broadcast at the rate of about `one tablespoonful to the square yard during or Just before a rain. If the shower does not mater-l ialize. water the fertilizer in with, the hose. so that there will be noi chance -of it burning the young] plants. isome. people prefer to dis-. solve the nitrate in water. about? one `ounce to -the gallon. one gal- lon" "of this mixture being sufficient forabout eight or ten square yards. u.-..muma+-inn .i-mlmr made weekly` I. l the `V U!` I GARDEN TALKS T Selecting Vogotabloi _._-..4.l-n1 ....An.

In the Fall, just before the heavy snow arrives, a light `dressing of strawy barnyard manure is ad- visable. `This should be raked off after the snow and frost disappear in the Spring. 1 Some Points to consider In this country, the demand for 1 flower seeds is overtaking that for vegetables. because invariably the amateur. and even the very practi- , cal one. who starts with a vege- table garden. with afew flowers at- tached, will gradually swing to the " lighter and more beautiful side of gardening. on account of this heavy * demand for flowers. and -the multi- tude of varieties from -which one ` ' can make a- selection ; it isimportant I to place `seed orders early. `roe of- ten one will arrive at the seed store sometime in late May only to find that the favourite seeds or bulbs are no longer in stock. First of all. get those seeds that need to be started in boxes indoors. select your stan- dard varieties first. but include a few novelties for sake of gaining experience.
