London's Seeds Grows a $100.00 Worth of Produce 
Kvery new year witnesses the starting by ama- 
iis of thousands of splendid gardens, but other 
Dusands fail to put their wish to practical test, 
lat is unfortunate, because tliere is no need to fear 
it you cannot garden successfully. It is a very 
liiple matter. 
-If you have a bit of mother earth, make use of 
e soil to cut your living costs and provide healthy, 
joyable exercise. You'll find it one of the best 
ings you ever did. 
To start at the very beginning, you will want to 
low probably whether the ground you have is 
itable soil. Yes, practically any soil will do, be- 
^juse even poor soil can be made perfectly lit. 
Making the soil fit is the easiest thing in the 
arid. Fertilize it with sheep manure. For $3.60 
iu can buy enougli sheep manure for a plot of 
ound 50 by 1.50 feet. Probably you will not have 
so large a garden. Application of the manure is 
made by simply spading it into the ground either 
in the fall or early spring. The soil will then be 
rich enough to grow the finest kind of vegetables, 
fruits and floweis. 
After deciding that you are going to have a gar- 
den, lay your plans in time. In other words, con- 
sider how big the garden shall be and what you will 
plant. Of course, if you have unlimited space you 
can select items at random. But if the garden must 
be small, plan to make the best use of your space. 
Say your family numbers four and you want to 
have a nice selection of vegetables during the entire 
growing season. Here are some of the items you 
can grow. You will note that this selection is made 
so that the same space will grow one or more items 
during the season. • ' :
