Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Home-Garden Planning 1665 It will be well to plan for tools and fertilizing material required for the garden. Four corner stakes are needed; two other stakes, with a garden line such as cod line or any stout cord about 40 feet long, will aid in keeping the rows straight. The cost of the various articles needed is as follows: Line $ Trowel 10 Spading fork or spade 75 Rake 65 Onion hoe 40 Hand weeder 10. Fig. 49.— First-class celery Miscellaneous pieces of wood for mark- ing rows, stakes for tomatoes, and the like, will be found useful. A wheeled hoe, costing $ with all attachments, would be of service but is not necessary. A cord of well-rotted stable manure should be provided. Plan 2 The garden considered in the second plan is nearly twice as large as that in the first, being 50 by 60 feet. A garden of this size is often found in the country village, where the in- habitants have more land to devote to the raising of vege- tables. Sometimes the dweller in a suburb rents a piece of ground near his garden and thus increases his plot to the size of that treated in plan 2, or even larger. On the larger area a greater number of vari- eties can be grown, as well as more individuals of each vari- ety; the three aims in making a home garden should be borne in mind, however — a constant supply of vegetables, good quality, and variety,.
