TOOLS FOR A LARGE GARDEN 

 In the preparation of larger gardens a good 

 surface plow should be used first, then the disk 

 harrow, and the land finally smoothed with a 

 spike tooth harrow. If clods are to be broken 

 up there is nothing better than a heavy wooden 

 planker. Before the seed is sown the land is 

 rolled but for the average city or suburban 

 garden not all of these operations are possible.

 gardens have hotbeds though they are most valuable and 

 highly recommended.
