A garden of this size (4 feet wide by 6 feet long) will 

 give a world of pleasure to boys and girls between the 

 ages of six and twelve. The vegetables and flowers 

 suggested are easy to grow and easy to care for. 



With very little help, a boy or girl can lay out this 

 simple garden using a ruler or yardstick for spacing and 

 to make the rows straight, leaving the number of inches 

 indicated between rows.

There are mcui\ 1 i-cinating flowers that thrill children. 

 Especially recommended are Sensitive Plant, Four 

 o'clock, Morning Glory, Snapdragon, and Mammoth 

 Sunflower. Ver^^ young tykes lose interest in an organ- 

 ized garden so it is generally best to start them off w^ith 

 a packet or two of seeds and a small corner of the garden 

 for their own.
