No. 4.] BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUB WORK. 187 



Back-Yard Garden Club. 

 The work of this club is primarily an economic enterprise. 

 It is expected that the home will be the chief market for the 

 products. The neighborhood and local town market is expected 

 to absorb the surplus. It is more or less educational as well as 

 economic. 



Market Garden Club. 

 The Market Garden Club is more specialized in product and 

 more definite in aim than the Back-Yard Garden Club. It is 

 usually limited to one, or, at most, to a few vegetables. These 

 are produced for a market beyond the home. They may even 

 reach a market beyond the town where they are produced. The 

 home, however, is not excluded as a consumer in disposing of 

 market-garden products. It is both economic and educational 

 because the members are working for financial gain and at the 

 same time are studying the deeper agricultural problems that 

 relate to production.

1. Members must be between ten and eighteen years of age.
