The Garden Magazine, April, 1920 



every day during all that time, 

 but all the supply for a family 

 of five came from our garden 

 (I defy any one to use the 

 "store kind" after tasting his 

 own!). Lima Beans we 

 started using on August 2nd 

 and had quantities right up 

 to frost. 



The last of the Tomatoes 

 were gathered, wrapped in 

 paper and placed in the cellar; 

 and we had fresh tomatoes for 

 Thanksgiving, Christmas and 

 New Years! The Parsley and 

 herbs were tied in bundles 

 and hung up to dry and then 

 rolled, the wood removed and 

 the leaf powder put away in 

 boxes for use. Parsley was 

 made available outdoors until 

 late in the winter, however, 

 by covering the outside rows 

 with leaves and boards, Celery 

 was left where it grew and 

 covered thoroughly with leaves, 

 corn stalks and soil. The 

 Cabbage was trenched in the 

 earth upside down and covered 



with leaves and dirt, the Ruta- 

 bagas and Parsnip were stored 

 in outside trenches, and the 

 Carrots and Beets were put 

 into boxes with sand in the 

 cellar. 



Although the returns are not 

 here accompanied by the 

 market prices, since a sufficient 

 quantity to supply my family- 

 abundantly was my standard 

 instead of monetary profits, 

 it would hardly take an ex- 

 pert accountant to discover 

 which sheet the balance is on. 

 And in addition to the vege- 

 tables there are on the south 

 side of the space a few Raspy- 

 berries which I did not in- 

 clude in my bookkeeping. 

 There are also five young Pear 

 trees on the west side and five 

 Plums on the north, planted 

 just outside the fence. On 

 the east side (which faces an 

 avenue) are some shrubs that 

 discreetly hide our activities 

 when these are untimely or 

 unbecomingly energetic. 



NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOOKEEPING 



But assuredly included in the assets are the Raspberries which 

 form an attractive border planting as well as yield delicious fruit 



FOR WET GARDENS 



One energetic trenching attack will 



rout the enemy permanently and 



redeem wet land
