tended to be merely suggestive will be of use 

 as indicating the amount of room required for 

 the several varieties of plants and a convenient 

 arrangement. The amount to be grown of any 

 one variety however, must be decided by the indi- 

 vidual gardener and it will be time well spent 

 to make a diagram for one's self, based on the 

 amount of various vegetables that experience 

 shows to be needed. To those vegetables to 

 which the family are most addicted should always 

 be added a few that are grown with the occasional 

 guest in mind and the few things that one likes to 

 try from season to season, and that add zest to 

 gardening but should never be allowed to occupy 

 space needed for more standard sorts.
