Hints on Vegetable 

 Gardening 



By 



[Mae Savell Croy 



A complete guide for the amateur 

 gardener, containing many hints for the 

 old-timer as well. In this volume the 

 author has included instructions with 

 regard to all the vegetables commonly 

 supplied to the markets. Each plant is 

 treated individually with regard to soil, 

 condition, transplanting and thinning, 

 cultivation, watering, insects and how 

 to get rid of them, together with recipes 

 for a number of effective spraying solu- 

 tions. The vegetables are listed alpha- 

 betically, numbering 69 in all, and in 

 addition there are chapters devoted to 

 fruits, large and small. Suggestions are 

 given on how to care for the trees and 

 vines and how to produce the largest 

 fruits and berries with the finest flavors. 

 The author even touches upon nut trees 

 and the advantages in planting them.
