Gardening Instructions for Club Members

National Agricultural Library

school gardens

This circular contains rules for beginning work, instructions for selecting the tenth-acre garden plot and preparation of the soil, setting the plants, and cultivating the garden. Later you will be sent a circular on tomato diseases and insect pests.

Please keep these circulars; read the instructions carefully and refer to them often. You will thus be sure that you are following directions.

Your county agent will give you a daily record book and teach you how to keep it. Begin writing in this book as soon as you do your first work and continue making notes each time you do any work. Write to your county home demonstration agent if you need further information.
