THOROUGH PREPARATION OF SOIL IS FIRST 
Arizona has several climatic areas which differ from one another as to 
the number of crops one can get from his garden and also in the recom- 
mended planting dates. In the Salt River Valley district the season is 
quite long and many crops can be planted at most any time, even during 
the winter months. If you have never planted a garden in Arizona we 
suggest you check over the planting chart on page 37 to be sure. 
We have never recommended the impulsive uprooting of established 
plantings of shrubs and perennials to make space for a Victory Garden 
unless such work will make a better garden afterwards. It is much better 
to select a spot in the back or side yard, away from shrubbery shade, to 
plant your garden. 
If your soil is fairly good you can get by without much conditioning but 
both heavy and extra light soil should be well worked with barnyard 
manure and peat moss. Heavy soil is opened up—or made more porous 
by the addition of these materials. In light soil they act as a sponge and 
help in the retention of moisture, keeping the soil from drying out so 
rapidly. After adding the manure and peat to the soil thoroughly respade 
to the depth of a fork and pulverize thoroughly. 
The soil should then be levelled off. For beds, make furrows 
from 2 to 3 feet apart into which water is run from a hose or 
Citch for the entire length of the bed. This will enable you to 
determine the high and low spots according to the water level 
and using a rake accomplish a complete leveling. Make your 
beds level at this time and avoid disappointment later on when 

from perfect specimens only. Watermelons make good growth in the warm ONION, SWEET SPANISH 
climate of Arizona. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, 1% lb. 75c, 1 lb. $2.50, postpaid. A popular sweet onion for home and market gardens.
