SOILS AND LOCATIONS 



GRAPES 



The home garden should be located within easy reach 

 of the house. In the country the contrary is more often 

 the case, which always means poor care, poor crops and 

 much unnecessary drudgery for the housewife. The 

 garden should be placed in the most conspicuous part 

 of the farmstead where it can be easily seen by the 

 passer-by, and, if possible, in direct view of the most 

 used portions of the home. Pride in the appearance 

 of the home surroundings will stimulate good care 

 of the garden when it is conspicuously located. 

 Planting will be more systematically done, weeds 

 will be kept down and the necessary fences repaired 

 and kept in order. The garden under such condi- 

 tions becomes a source of pride, and a place of 

 beauty, furnishing 

 a , never-ending 

 supply of fresh 

 fruits, vegetables 

 and possibly 

 flowers the entire 

 year round. 



The size of the 

 garden is also of 

 considerable im- 

 portance. In the 

 city both the loca- 

 tion and size are 

 absolutely fixed 

 by conditions be-

 of the owner.
