varieties which will give heavier yields and improved quality for a home garden quality is really more important than quantity but j there are lots of varieties available that yield both on the pages of the catalog check the varieties that have been decided upon then calculate the amounts of each kind required according to the plan it is usually best to order a little more of each kind than apparent ly would be needed to be on the safe side and to have a few extra seeds for testing as to their power of growth the list should be made out early and sent to the seedsmen without delay the earlier that seeds are ordered the more certain the gardener is of se curing fresh seed and exactly the kinds wanted insist upon having the best regardless of price buying cheap seed is- a gamble in spraying materials we might need a new sprayer of some kind ac cording to size of garden and whether or not it will be needed for fruit trees as well there are hand sprayers knap- 1 nnravara j1tu did the garden of last year contain all the kinds of vegetables that the family wanted and enough of each kind specialists of the department of agriculture say that asa rule not more than 15or 20 kinds should be planted in the average home garden thats good advice for the average garden but our garden of 1922 is to be more than average its to be the best garden that we ever had we will want a greater variety than we had last year and perhaps larger quanti ties of some of the kinds that we grew if we havent yet sent to our favorite seedsmen for a 1922 catalog or to two or three seed firms if we liked we should do so at once a catalog fresh from the printers is like a joy and a friend in time of need with a catalog at hand we are not likely to overlook anything when we examine last years garden plan with a view to preparing a new plan for the coming spring- if certain vege tables gave indifferent results last as well there are hand sprayers knay- season they should either be
