Rebuilding the Garden of Eden

These, and a good many other good things. 



Vegetable plants, too, I 

 started here — Cabbage, 

 Cauliflower, Beets, Lettuce, 

 Onion (easiest thing in the 

 world to start early, and 

 enable you to get those 

 whacking big bulbs such as 

 you see in the Fall Exhibi- 

 tions), Celery, Peppers, Egg- 

 plants, Cucumbers, and 

 Melons. 



Incidentally, I sold enough 

 plants (after using all I 

 needed myself) to pay back 

 all the cash I had put into 

 the proposition. 



But I have something more interesting to tell 

 you about than all of these. 



A big Discovery in a little Greenhouse 



The first spring I had that little house I made 

 a big discovery; but I never discovered it was a 

 discovery until years later, when I realized how 

 restricted a list of flowers is always recom- 

 mended for "greenhouse culture." 



Greenhouse or cold- 

 frame grown Onions with 

 tops cut back for trans- 

 planting in the garden. It 

 not only gives quick 

 growth but the Onions 

 will be much larger.
