There is no garden or even town lot so small but that the owner 
should grow enough fruit for his own use. By planting a general assorts 
ment in the order of ripening you can have fresh fruit throughout tne 
entire season, and there is no fruit like that taken from your own garden. 
It is surprising, the small amount of ground, if intelligently handled, tnat 
can be made to keep the home in fresh fruit through the growing season
