When Not to Use Lime 
Contrary to general opinion, lime is 
not a fertilizer. Lime, properly used, is 
a soil conditioner making available cer- 
tain kinds of plant foods locked up in 
heavy soils. 
Lime should not be added to the soil 
of growing crops, except perhaps to the 
cabbage family. Never top-dress grow- 
ing lawns with it. Keep it away from 
all plants of the Heath family. Do not 
add lime to manure or compost heap. 
It is more dangerous there than any- 
where else, as it greatly increases the 
loss of nitrogen. Lime and manure at 
the same time do not work well for the 
soil. If both are being applied, use one 
in the fall and the other in the spring, 
or vice versa. If your soil needs lime, 
use the ground lime rock or gypsum 
applied thinly at the rate of 100 pounds 
to 1000 square feet. This should be 
sufficient in most soils to last four 
growing seasons. Lime should never be 
plowed under; rather, work it into the 
top three or four inches.

Have you marked the variety name 
of each row planted? If you have them 
marked you will know if you want to 
plant the same variety next season.

Cabbage among the rose bushes—car- 
rots and beets bordering the chrysan- 
themum beds. 
Hubbard Squash hanging from eight- 
foot poles suspended in fish nets.

of the Snapdragons!”’’ 
Gourds along a picket fence.

Bush Zucchini over two feet high, 
with a dozen fruits at one time. 
Cherry tomatoes climbing a rose trel- 
lis. 
Freeness of advice on growing toma-

Tall corn among the dahlia rows. 
Victor Tomatoes in boxes along a 
driveway. 
Paper bags made from waxed bread 
paper filled with tiny pebbles. Arranged 
in squares over a pea planting in such 
a manner that any string touched would 
rattle the whole 54 bags. This was in- 
tended to keep the birds away, but it is 
our opinion that some birds crawled 
under. It was a very novel idea anyway, 
and showed great engineering ability. 
Pole beans grown on saplings facing 
south, all beans pickable distance from 
the ground. 
Chinese Cabbage planted early all 
gone to seed. 

Vegetables to be set out or planted
