be used in well 
worked gardens 
5. In making the 
wide drill for 
peas the whole 
width of the hoe 
is utilized 
3. A sharpened stick or plant

4. For the medi¬ 
um sized drill, 
hold the draw 
hoe on edge so as 
to use its end 
8. Onion sets, too, can 
be planted in the drill 
of medium size. This 
entails considerably less 
labor than making in¬ 
dividual holes for them, 
and the results are good 
9. Bush limas should go 
in double rows in the 
wide drill. Planted thus, 
they will make a well 
filled line. Artificial 
supports are unneces¬ 
sary for bush varieties
