PART TWO 
PRACTICAL EXERCISES 
1. The garden plans. (a) Let each pupil carefully 
draw to scale the plan of the vegetable garden as it is 
laid out at his home. 
(b) After this study let each pupil draw a garden 
plan as he would carry it out in a home garden of 
his own. 
(ec) If it is feasible to have a school garden, let each 
member of the class draw a plan of such a garden. 
2. Laying out and planting the school garden. If 
conditions at the school are favorable to the employ- 
ment of labor all through the garden season and if. 
sufficient land is near the school to justify such an 
undertaking, it may be advisable to carry on a school. 
garden. For a school garden the plan of making a 
demonstration home garden for an average-sized family 
is a good one. This plot should be planted and 
cared for as a class enterprise. The addition of small 
fruits and ornamental planting may make the whole 
scheme a valuable practical piece of work in connec- 
tion with the school study of vegetable gardening: 
This garden should be carried on as nearly according 
to directions and correct principles which are given 
in the text as is possible. For individual work in 
vegetable raising, the home project garden should 
be used.
