These crops the well adapted to the small garden as comparatively little space is required to provide for the needs of the ordinary family, Tomatoes are the most important of the three and can be grown over a wide range of territory mid on almost any type of soil. Eggplant is difficult to grow in many sections. Peppers, like tomatoes, can bo grown almost anywhere with proper care.

Tomatoes do best in the home garden where the plants are started indoors, transplanted to pots or plant bands, grown for a time in the hotbed or coldframe und then planted In the garden after danger of frost is past In the small garden the tomato plants can be set 18 by 36 inches and trained to a single stem tied to stakes. In this way a larger number of plants can be grown than where the plants are allowed to grow naturally on the ground, the fruit is rleaner and there is, less trouble with the fruit rotting in damp weather.

Dusting the plants with air slack ed lime Is reasonably effective in driving these beetles away. Dusting with nicotine sulphate dust is also effective, likewise spraying the plants with arsenate of lead at the rate of one ounce of the naste form to a lon of water to which a. little time is added to prevent the arsenate of lead burning the leaves. Rich, Moist Soil Eggplant requires a very rich soil and plenty of moisture. However, the plants will not do well on wet or poorly drained soil.
