GARDEN STEPS 



land that is to be planted the next year. Next, plan 

 to dig or plow in a liberal amount of dairy or stable 

 dressing before frost comes. In the spring, when this 

 ground is worked over, the dressing will be well de- 

 cayed and will make light and fine soil, which would 

 be lumpy and heavy if the work were done in the 

 spring with fresh manure. 



Soil for Early Seeds 



While putting in the dressing, remember the cold 

 frame and the window boxes. Save out a couple 

 of barrow-loads and mix it about half and half with 

 fine soil, leaving it where it will not be washed too
