14 THE GABDENETTE 



wagon loads of street-scrapings, containing weed 

 seeds, were dumped. The growth of these weeds 

 was something wonderful. With this hint for a 

 beginning, the marvelously successful Sandwich 

 Bed was developed. 



The surpassing vigor of growth., the earliness, 

 large size, and superior quality of the products 

 grown by this method, make gardening a very 

 fascinating employment, for it cannot be denied 

 that the ability to greatly surpass "The Other 

 Fellow " gives especial gratification to those en- 

 gaged in this line of work. 



Where the space is limited, only a few articles 

 should be attempted. It does not require a large 

 area to grow a few fine tomatoes, muskmelons, 

 cauliflower or egg plant. Or a bed of lettuce, 

 spinach or green onions. 



If only one square rod is available, it will pay 

 to have a "gardenette." 



SPACE REQUIRED 



Three square rods or a space of ground, say 

 eighteen by forty-five feet, can be made to pro- 

 duce a large part of all the vegetables needed to 

 supply the table of a family of five or six persons, 

 throughout the season. 



The author has repeatedly produced on such a 

 plot, but containing four square rods, about the 

 following : 



30 Dozen Green Onions 25 Choice Egg Plant Fruits 



1 Bushel Dry Onions 25 Extra Fine Squashes 



10 Messes Green Peas 50 Messes Lettuce 



15 Dozen Beets 20 Messes Endive 



22 Dozen Radishes 10 Messes Kohl Rabi 



200 Heads Fine Celery 8 Dozen Sugar Corn
