A SELF-SUPPORTING HOME 



The long evenings gave us plenty of time 

 to plan the garden on paper and make our 

 seed lists, all of which saved time when it 

 was of greater value. Every family will, of 

 course, have especially preferred vegetables to 

 take precedence over others, so individual 

 taste alone can determine the allotted space 

 for each variety. Our selection plan was 

 made with due regard for table, pickles, and 

 preserves, all of which it 

 bountifully supplied. 

 Therefore if your dis- 

 crimination on such sub- 

 jects is too undeveloped 

 as yet to be trusted, accept our experience 

 this year; by next you will know how to 

 reconstruct it to your personal needs. When 

 planning out on paper, the second crop 

 should be considered as well as the spring 

 sowings. Then there will be no uncertainty 

 and loss of time later.
