38 HOW TO MAKE SCHOOL GARDENS 



Plant, five feet from south end, one 

 row of radishes same as lettuce in Lesson I. 



Sift ashes* and Paris green over the 

 melons. 



Pick flowers, and pull radishes and let- 

 tuce, if ready. 



* This is prepared by mixing thoroughly one 

 teaspoonful of Paris green with two quarts of wood- 

 ashes. Just a very little is sifted over the plant.
