Show KEEP HOME GARDEN AT WORK Possible to Grow Considerable Quantities Quan-tities of Vegetables on Limited Areas. By the exercise of care and forethought fore-thought in planning succession crops and rotations and by the utilization of every foot of suitable available space it is possible to grow considerable quantities of vegetables on limited areas and so supplement the family food supply. The principal factors in accomplishing this are the use of seed boxes and hotbeds to give plants an early start in spring before seeds may be planted outdoors, the use of outside seed beds to carry plants for main-season crops while early crops are occupying the garden space and the p'jinting of late or succession crops as soon as earlier plants have been removed. The United States department of agriculture ag-riculture believes that the home garden gar-den is just as essential this year as it was during the war years and is offering the advice of practical scientific sci-entific gardeners in helping to solve the problems of those who want to cultivate home gardens. |
