The year-round garden Is the kind that not only yields a variety during the spring and summer months, but also furnishes such salad plants and greens, as Chinese cabbage and chard during the late fall months, and gives an abundance of root vegetables, celery, purs-ley, squash, pumpkins and canned or dried fruit and vegetables, for winter use. The year-round garden is the garden that yields early crops, that yields successive crops of the same kind Instead of such an abundance at one time that the vegetables cannot bo used, sold or given away, and that gives variety at all times to tempt the appetite with succulence, crispness and color. Such a garden needs careful planning and February is none too early to make plans, to plot the garden to scale, to order seed, plants and roots and to start such vegetables as tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, egg plant, lettuce, sweet potatoes or onions in hot beds out of doors, or in boxes indoors.

Every permanent garden, at least on the farm where there is plenty of room, should have a place for such perennials as, mint, horseradish, asparagus, parsley, rhubarb, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, grapes, and so forth. If these have not a place in your garden, determine this year to plant them, and leave a place in your garden plan for these perennials. Each year those who garden learn from their failures and successes. At your February Homemakers club meeting, why not have a garden experience meeting and see if from the experiences of all of the homemakers, each one in your club cannot have a more successful garden this year? The discussion about gardens will be much more worth while If each club member, before going to the meeting, will read carefully what is given on the following subjects, in the bulletin No. 937, The Farm Garden in the North.
