VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



The larger part of the garden was planted on poor soil, as much of the 

 surface had been drawn off to fill up low spots on the lawns : for this reason, it 

 ■was heavily manured to leave the land in condition to seed to lawn next spring. 

 One-half only of the value of the manure was therefore charged to vegetables.
