ARRANGEMENT, — In city gardens, or where most of the work is done by hand, this may be entirely a 

 latter of taste, but it is quite important to have the garden so arranged that most of the work can be done by

horse power. We can best point out the things to be considered in the arrangement by means of the accompany- 

 ing illustration. The points gained in this plan are : — 



First — Ability to cultivate the ground. All but a strip five feet wide between the radish and parsley can be 

 worked by any common one-horse cultivator. 



Second — Placing those vegetables which may stay out all winter side by side, where they will not interfere 

 with next season's ploughing. 



TVz/rrt'— Arranging the vegetables very nearly in the order in which they should be planted or set out in the 

 spring. This would be nearly perfect if the Late Cabbage were to follow the Tomatoes. 



Fourth — Providing for easy rotation of crops by simply reversing (with the exception of the permanent row of 

 Asparagus, &c.) the plan.
