Laying Out Vegetable Gardens 
For several years it has been my am¬ 
bition to have a vegetable garden of my 
own ; and this coming season it looks as 
though the longing might be indulged. 
However, during the long span of inter¬ 
vening years I have forgotten how to 
utilize a small plot of ground most effi¬ 
ciently. I have been a continuous sub¬ 
scriber to Tiie R. N.-Y.. although the 
only practical use I had for it was that 
it lias helped to assuage the fires of my 
garden desires. Will you send me a plan 
as to how to plant vegetables in order 
that my 25x30-ft. garden will produce the 
greatest return? H. H. H. 
Illinois. 
I believe a large majority of men and 
women take great delight and pleasure in 
a fine vegetable garden. Even when they 
have not the opportunity or place to grow 
one, they always express their delight in 
viewing one. 
On the plot that II. H. H. describes, it 
is possible to raise enough vegetables for 
a family of four persons at least. 
It would be better to buy plants of to¬ 
mato and pepper than to sow seed, for he 
would be saved the trouble of trying to 
grow strong plants to transplant, and 
would not have as early fruit as if he 
purchased good strong plants. In the 
plan shown the rows are 1 ft. apart, and 
if H. H. H. will follow plan he will have 
a succession of vegetables for the entire 
season. The vegetables that occupy the 
ground for the entire season have been 
placed at the rear. 
Row 24 is carrots; 22, nine late to¬ 
mato plants, 19, nine early tomato 
plants; 17, 12 New York eggplants; 15, 
18 Chinese Giant peppers; 13 and 11, 
two rows of Early Mayflower sweet corn, 
planted in row instead of hill. More 
can be grown to the same space in this 
manner. Row 9, Fordhook or Wilson 
bush Lima; 7, stringless green beans; 5, 
Blue Bantam or Hundredfold pens; 3, 
Nott's Excelsior pea. Row 2 is Early 
Egyptian beet; 1, half row of Early Scar¬ 
let or Crimson Giant radish, and half 
row of New York lettuce. 
On July 10 plant Row No. 12 (be¬ 
tween sweet corn) to Easy Blanching or 
Plan for Small Vegetable Garden 
Emperor celery plants. The peas will be 
off Rows 5- and 3 by July 10. Plant 
‘-ow 5 to Early Erfurt cauliflower, and 
Row 3 to Mayflower sweet corn. Row 1 
can be set to Fall lettuce. Big Boston or 
Unrivaled, about Aug. 15. If H. H. H. i 
has well-rotted manure for this plot, 
broadcast it_ before digging; if not, sow 
100 ibs. of 5-S-G broadcast after digging, 
and rake in. wm. PERKINS. 
Roses in Greene County, New York 
Are the climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 
success, and will they stand our Wii 
ters up here with protection? If s> 
which would you suggest, the Pink Mi 
man Cochet or the Pink Killarnev? Wi 
Alex Hill Grey, II. T.. stand our cl 
mate? If not, name a yellow rose, II. T 
that will. mrs. R. ii. 
Bushnellsville, N. Y. 
We do not like to advise climbing Hy¬ 
brid Tea roses for Greene Co., N. Y„ for 
the Winters are severe, and we think 
they would be killed back badly. If any 
of our readers in that section have grown 
them with satisfaction we should like to 
learn their experience. It would seem ad¬ 
visable to remove such roses from their 
trellis and protect them by laying flat 
and covering with sod, which is some¬ 
times quite troublesome. One well-known 
rose firm only offers Climbing Marnau 
Cochet for the South. Climbing Lady 
Ashtown, which is exceptionally fine, does 
well in New Jersey, but we think it 
would be too tender in your locality. Mrs 
Aaron Ward and Mrs. S. K. Rindge are 
particularly good yellow Hybrid Teas 
that seem very hardy around New York 
City, but we would not take the risk of 
leaving them unprotected in your district 
Mounding with soil should bring them 
through the Winter safely. Perhaps 
readers in your county will give us some 
rose experience.

Grown in New England 
A third of a century’s experience has 
taught us to grow Fruit Trees especially 
adapted to the requirements of the North¬ 
eastern States. TheseTrees are inured to long 
winters and low temperatures. You will be 
delighted with their shapely tops and heavy, 
fibrous root systems. We take great pains 
when packing and budding to keep every 
tree true to name. Many of our men have 
been with us from ten to twenty years; 
they are highly skilled and thoroughly re¬ 
sponsible.

Iyrox beats 
home-mixed sprays 
T IME and labor were never more valu¬ 
able than now. Besides being a slow, 
time-consuming, mussy job, home-made 
sprays can’t compare with Pyrox in con¬ 
dition, uniformity and reliability. 
Pyrox, a smooth, finely milled paste, is 
a perfect blend of deadly poison and 
powerful fungicide that does three things 
at once: Kills leaf-eating insects and re¬ 
pels flea beetles and leaf hoppers; controls 
disease; invigorates plants. Extra high 
in copper. Ideal for home gardens. 
Pyrox mixes easily with water, sprays 
through finest nozzles in a fog-like mist 
that covers foliage thoroughly, and when 
dry sticks like paint. Based on 25 years’ 
experience with sprays. Jars, cans, drums, 
barrels. 
You can now buy all your spray materials from 
the complete Bowker line.
