PLANNING — THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS 
You can change plans on paper faster, 
cheaper and more easily than you can on the 
ground after you have started making your 
garden. A rough sketch will show you relations 
of various items—vegetables, low-growing, tall, 
wide-spreading, shade-loving, vining, shrubby 
or other types of garden material. And a rough | 
sketch, on which additions may be made when — 
you see features in other home grounds that 
will serve effectively in yours, will gradually ' 
bring your whole picture into a clear focus 
before you have done much spading, and will 
add up into a beautiful garden, with fewer 
basic changes necessary later. 
Flower gardens provide cut flowers for in- 
doors and can be used to harmonize lawns, 
shrubbery, driveways, walks, buildings in one 
picture to be enjoyed both from within and 
without your house. Low hedge or walls can 
define margins of a cut flower garden, or can 
be tied into a vegetable garden plan and area 
for compost, tool and implement storage place, 
etc. All designed to relate harmoniously to the 
rest of the landscape. Other flower garden 
sites devoted to special, formal features, such 
as rose garden, herb garden, etc., should serve 
as emphasis for the permanent features in the 
general home ground plan.

ORGANIC MANURE 
Compost making is easy with COMPO... 
the “self-starter” turns grass clippings, 
leaves, garden and kitchen refuse into rich, 
organic manure. Compost is rich in all the 
elements necessary to sturdy, healthy plant 
growth. Simple directions on the convenient 
COMPO package.

Cold Frame 
COLD FRAME AND 
HOT BED 
A cold frame is a box without top or bot- 
tom, placed on the ground and covered with 
a glass or plastic lid to let in light and keep 
temperature steady. A hot bed’s just a cold 
frame with heat in the ground under it to 
speed up plant growth. Heat may be by elec- 
tric soil cable or decomposing organic material 
buried under soil surface. Make front lower 
than back and slope sides so that lid will 
hinge to back and slant down to front, and 
can be raised up for ventilation control. A 
window sash or celloglass tacked on frame 
will serve as cover. Place it where direct sun 
doesn’t hit it but air circulation is good. 
If on surface of ground, make box deep 
enough to allow for heating material plus 
soil, and bank additional manure around out- 
side to maintain heat. If a pit is used, choose 
a well-drained situation. Fresh stable manure 
is best heat producing material, but wetted 
cuttings of corn or grass will also do the work. 
For non-electric hotbed, 12 to 24 inches of 
manure surfaced with 5 to 6 inch layer of 
soil will work. 
For electric hotbeds cables are available in 
various lengths. A 50-foot cable heats 36 
square feet.
