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. 



Gardening is now being taught children in thousands of 

 schools throughout the country. Individuals or groups 

 who would like to see this worthwhile educational ac- 

 tivity develop in their localities can get helpful informa- 

 tion from the National Garden Institute, 1368 North 

 High St., Columbus 1, Ohio.
