Big Yield in Small Space From Green, Leafy Foods Cut only tender tips of New Zealand spinach to use for greens. Green leafy vegetables, rich in vitamins, can be harvested from the home garden all summer long, if a planting schedule is made. They are several plants whose leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals, which are easy to grow and give a bountiful harvest. So bountiful are they that care should be taken not to grow too much, for when leaves are harvested, more leaves are produced, from early in the summer until freezing weather. Swiss chard, member of the turnip family, is the best known in northern states, while varieties of mustard are popular in the with the earliest crops, it will be ready to cut in a month, and new leaves will grow to replace those that are cut. Chard has a distinctive flavor which many prefer to spinach, and children usually like it better. The mustard family provides several varieties of greens. One known as Tendergreen will produce edible leaves in 21 days from sowing, and if the roots are left undisturbed will produce eight or nine crops in the season. All the mustards are quick growing, and are much esteemed in the southern states. SKILL IN THE SOIL RESULTS IN GARDEN When sowing seeds directly into the garden, the amateur should keep in mind two points—deep to sow, and how far away Modern practice favors shallow sowing, the depth being determined by the size in most cases. Seeds are barely covered, and larger seeds placed at a distance four times the diameter. How far apart is not so easy to determine. If sown too thinly hazards of garden life may occur; vacant spaces to be left in row. If sown too thickly there be extra work thinning out plants, so those which re- have room to develop. Larger seeds, like peas beans, can be accurately spaced. Dwarf peas one inch apart develop sturdy plants with thinning, and if some seeds fail grow they will not be mired. Bush beans usually are allowed to grow four inches apart in row. To avoid vacant spaces beans in pairs, spaced four inches apart. Seldom will both see a pair fail to grow. If both one can easily be pulled up, both develop since twin plants will do as well as singles. Beet seed and Swiss charm large enough to be spaced cisely, and may be planted inch or two apart, and then out. Every beet seed will provide a group of plants. If you think just as the root is beginnin take its globular form, the and tiny roots cooked to will make a delicious dish. The father of the American Dollar—Can you name him? You know his name as well as your own. He invented the swivel chair, a plow, the shooting stick and an indoor weather vane. YOU KNOW HIS NAME as well as your own. He invented the swivel chair, a plow, the shooting stick, and an indoor weather vane. As a Congressman, he wrote a suggestion for a decimal monetary system which gave us the penny, the dime, and the dollar—yet strangely enough, his face appears on the two money units he did not suggest. They are the nickle and the two-dollar bill. And now you know him—Thomas Jefferson, born 212 years ago. You might think it strange that this busy man whose mind was engaged with so many practical things should also have written the most inspiring words in American history—our Declaration of Independence.

WILL IN THE SOWING OF SEED RESULTS IN GARDEN SUCCESS When sowing seeds directly in the garden, the amateur should know in mind two points—how to sow, and how far apart. Western practice favors shallow sowing, the depth being determined by the size in most cases. Small plants are barely covered, and the larger seeds placed at a depth out four times their diameter. When far apart is not so easy to germine. If sown too thinly, the seeds of garden life may cause plant spaces to be left in the soil. If sown too thickly there will be extra work thinning out the plants, so those which remain in the room to develop. Charger seeds, like peas and beans, can be accurately spaced. Pea peas one inch apart will develop sturdy plants without thinning, and if some seeds fall to sow they will not be missed. Beans usually are allowed to grow four inches apart in the soil. To avoid vacant spaces sow beans in pairs, spaced four inches apart. Seldom will both seeds in a pair fail to grow. If both grow can easily be pulled up, or let them develop since twin plants do as well as singles. Seed and Swiss chard are large enough to be spaced precisely, and may be planted on either or two apart, and thinned. Every beet seed will produce a group of plants. If you thin them as the root is beginning to take its globular form, the tops and tiny roots cooked together will make a delicious dish.

There will be few vacant spaces in row, if large seeds are sown in pairs each sufficiently distant from the next to prevent entanglement. Keep the seeds in line as well as you can. It helps to let the garden line which was used in making the drill remain in place until the seeds have been dropped.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 200 BLAZING HORS at the lowest cost in hist ...plus size, luxury and styling unsurpass THE SENSATIONAL STRATO-STREAK V-S Here's the reason Pontiac delivers so much power at such low cost—the most modern and efficient V-8 in the industry, delivering 200 horsepower with the four-barrel carburetor, optional at low extra cost. It's a fact—never before in the history of the automobile industry has a car offered so much power for so little money as the 1955 Pontiac. It is the first and only automobile ever built that delivers 200 horsepower at a price every new-car buyer can afford—hundreds of dollars less than any car equalling its blazing performance. And that's not all! Pontiac is also the sole automobile at its price to unite the terrific "drive" of 200 horsepower with a road-leveling 122° or 124° wheelbase and such big-car stability. It's the biggest as well as the highest-powered car ever priced with the lowest. SEE AND DRIVE HISTORY'S FASTEST-SELLING CASEY - BECKHAM 826 S.
