cooked for father on the coming Sunday? And what 

 mother could be so poor that she would not be willing to 

 season those potatoes with the best of butter, the beans 

 with the richest of flavors, and embrace that child of hers 

 with the fondest embrace? 



Almost all vegetables are suited for our garden. Potatoes, 

 with proper selection of those ripening early, should be 

 lined with rows of Horsebeans. Do not shrug the shoulder 

 over their kind. There are thousands who appreciate them, 

 and it is well that the edges of the patches should be turned 

 into use with growth which will produce ere the main crop 

 is ready. Radishes, Lettuce, Beets, Turnips, and Carrots all 

 ripen easily and surely. Of Beans we have already runners 

 planted as vines. Let us add Bush Beans, and teach the child 

 how to pick them with the greatest of care, so that the crop 

 will not be ruined after the first' handling. Tomatoes may be 

 set out after having been raised from seed under shelter. 

 We also should have a few roots of Asparagus. It is a highly 

 ornamental plant and the child should know how that vege- 

 table is produced. Corn of the early kinds must find a 

 place and kitchen herbs of all descriptions must have ample 

 room. Imagine the pleasure of a child if it can supply the 

 home regularly with all the Parsley for soup and dressing ! 

 Also rows of Strawberries to pick and put between the 

 smacking lips. They furnish a good way to train the child 

 to arrest its longing hands and wait till the sun has ripened 

 the berry, which, then, should be disposed of as the teacher 

 decides.
