The first chapters explain something of 

 the development of the school-garden 

 movement and how to make a school 

 garden, while the remaining chapters are 

 lessons in garden work. It is hoped these 

 simple lessons will be of value; but, as 

 every locality is different and the cHmatic

 necessary to vary the directions some, 

 the crops raised, and the size of the 

 gardens, the latter of necessity depending 

 upon the size of the grounds.
