place must be reserved for compost and other materials, 

 and a forcing-bed should be found in the kitchen 

 garden. 



In the school garden of the large city, the " experi- 

 ment garden " must be dispensed with. The kitchen 

 garden will only be given to the girls, perhaps, and the 

 nursery must be contained in the very smallest limits, 

 or left out altogether. But all important types of the 

 home flora should be there ; forest trees and shrubs, 

 economical, commercial, medicinal plants, annuals, per- 

 ennials, spring flowers, and plants of the plain. No 

 one will wish for a beehive here. But the gymnastic 

 and playground must be in or near the garden. The 

 garden work and movement in the fresh air are, in a 

 sanitary point of view, inestimable to city children.
