LESSON LXX 



HOME GARDENING 



Importance of the garden. What has been said 

 about school gardens will, much of it, apply to the home 

 garden. Every family in the country should have a 

 garden because of the profit and satisfaction which it 

 affords. The garden is, or should be, the best part of 

 the farm, but it is often neglected by the farmer for 

 other work which he thinks more important. Every 

 dweller in town or city could very materially lessen 

 the cost of living as well as promote the health of the 

 family, by having a home garden. By the use of flow- 

 ers and shrubs in the proper relation to the vegetable 

 garden, the whole garden may add much to the beauty 

 of the home grounds.
