The first chapters explain something of 
the development of the school-garden 
movement and how to make a school 
garden, while the remaining chapters are 
lessons in garden work. It is hoped these 
simple lessons will be of value; but, as 
every locality is different and the climatic 
and soil conditions vary, it may be found 
necessary to vary the directions some, 
the crops raised, and the size of the 
gardens, the latter of necessity depending 
upon the size of the grounds.
