should be included in every good garden 
outfit, and a supply of arsenate of lead, 
Paris green, tobacco dust as insecticides 
and Bordeaux mixture for a fungicide to 
use against such things as rust, mildew and 
blight, should be kept constantly on hand. 
For cucumbers and squashes, especially 
where only a few hills are grown, bottom¬ 
less boxes, eighteen inches square and 
eight or ten inches deep, covered with 
mosquito or fine wire netting, are most ef¬ 
fective during the early stages of growth, 
when injury is most likely to result. 
It is usually a good plan to look over 
the garden the last thing every afternoon, 
if you have a chance to, and decide what 
you will do the next day, or the next time 
you have an opportunity to work in it. 
The weather or some other unforeseen cir¬ 
cumstance may prevent your carrying out 
your program exactly, but it is always 
best to have some definite job to look for¬ 
ward to, and also it will save you a good 
many hours, during the season, which 
would otherwise be wasted in “puttering 
round.” 
Tender Greens 
O UR list of “greens” is a fairly com¬ 
prehensive one, for with it I have 
placed the salads. Necessity obliges me to 
make this broad classification, else would 
my pages become wearisome reading. If, 
in spite of the best that I can do, a weari¬ 
ness is felt, it will be because I have failed 
to bring into them that touch of personali¬ 
ty which redeems all that the cook does 
— or says. 
When I tell you how and why we have 
such and such a thing cooked in this or 
that way, you must figure to yourself, if 
you will, my white-capped, broad-backed 
bonne, whose round face is seriousness it¬ 
self while she is at her task, although her 
busy tongue might lead you to suppose it 
was that which was working the hardest. 
No lesson given by book or word of 
mouth is equal to the one given by ocular 
demonstration, nor is any recipe so good 
as the on.e you have tried and tested and 
proved, succeeded or failed with, yourself. 
Next to that I would place the recipes with 
which some one well known to you has 
done likewise. In all the recipes given 
herewith the testing has been done either 
by my cook or by myself, or by some one 
whom we have both believed in as being 
equally wise. Other people may give you 
better recipes, perhaps, but these are good, 
believe me. 
I will ask you to bear in mind that a 
tin utensil must never be used when cook¬ 
ing greens, although you may use non- 
tinned copper; but our own practice is 
invariably to use enamelled iron for boil¬ 
ing or rapid cooking, and the earthen cas¬ 
serole or marmite for the stew or puree. 
Salt and a little sugar are put into the 
water, and where the cabbage or the peas 
seem gone past their prime we put in the
