THE DAILY NEWS Friday., March 16, 1S45 sAEDEN OTEBti vn-- IMPROVING THE SOIL Practically everyone knows that a rfch( open loam which is - .tseasily cultivated, makes the best garden soil. But not so well . . known among beginners especially is the fact that even the toughest and most rarren so; -2 can, with a little skill and care, 'gw made into fine gardens too. Tlie secret In both cases is cul-,.7flvatlon, plus the incorporation "':uf rotted vegetable matter. .One of the best treatments, of course, ' is plenty of barnyard manure, but this is not always available " and especially in urban locali-. . . .ties. Good substitutes are vegetable refuse like tops of beets, carrots, pea pods, lawn clippings, 'etc., or specially sown green oats, rye or clover dug or plowed under. Many experienced gardeners , , make a regular practice of sowing part of their plots with oats, j rye or some other quick-growing crop, and when th'.s a up sin .inches to a foot, plowing the whole thing under. Strange ' enough the same works well with sand, putting in some baclly needed humus which makes this light soil spongy and more retentive of moisture. Where the soil is very poor, a liberal application of some good chemical fertilizer is advised and a dose of garden lime will also help. .Garden Layouts . . .Nine times out of 10 an Informal layout of flower gardens. r lawn and shrubbery about the house gives the best results. The formal garden where there are .'straight rows, straight paths, and everything is Just so is a . matter for professionals and large estates. With the average lot in town or country there are too many straight lines in any ... .case, like driveways, foundation walls and fences. The main idea In gardening is to break these and soften them. To do this shrubbery is planted m irregular clumps around, but not too close - - to, 4he house, with biggest Prince Rupert, BC. groupings at the corners and around the front porcli. Variety may be added by the odd climbing vine. Unless the lawn is generous in size, experts advise leaving the centre fairly open, with flower beds and shrubs around the edge and in front of the fences and driveways. Generally the bigger and taller flowers are planted at the back but, for the sake of variety, a few of these should be brought forward. Instead of single plantings groups of individual varities are advocated. For continuous bloom, consult a good Canadian seed catalogue where such details as season of blooming, color, height, hardiness and other essential facts will be listed.' Vegetable Groups 'Vegetables divide themselves Into three main planting groups, In the first are the hardy things, those plant Juit as soon as the soil can be prepared regardless of the weather ahead. These will stand lots of frost and In fact for best results they must make their first growth while the weather Is still cool and wet. In .this class are peas, the first onions, carrots and beets, radish, spinach and lettuce. These can be planted just as soon as trie soil has worked up n:ce:y and is no longer muddy. Experienced gardeners make a practice of sowing beets, radish, spinach. etc., at least three times, about two weeks apart. Then there are the semi-hardy things like potatoes, the beans and cabbage. These will stand cool weather but very little frost. At the end of the line are very tender plants that can stand no frost at all.
