THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



191 



No. 255 on vegetables, also for publications on school-gardens, and con- 

 sider whether your school should have one, or whether pupils should be 

 encouraged to have their own small gardens at home. In any way get 

 every pupil to grow some useful or ornamental plants that shall really 

 be his own. By questions draw out from the oldest members of the 

 class the month in which every vegetable mentioned in this chapter is 

 usually planted. Similarly secure a statement of the months during 

 which each is eaten. Write for similar bulletins to the Experiment 

 Station in your own state ; use the seed catalogues also.
