The top soil is sel- dom closely related to the sub- soil and one of the best known ways to ascertain the composi- tion nf the sub-soil is to dig a trench three nr four feet deep at various points in the garden. A stiff clay sub-soil will re- quire an almost prohibitive amount of drainage while a sub- soil of clay and sand mixed will be found to be of considerable value for the growing of roses as they appear to thrive better in this kind of soil. A coarse gravelly sub-soii, un- less the top soil be deep is not of much value for a ga)xlcn unless one is prepared to go to the er- pense of securing good garden loam for a top covering. One of the greatest drawbacks to successful gardening in the present day, is the almost uni- versal habit of contractors when excavating basements, to cover up the quite often good top soil with a poor sub-soil instead of scraping the top soil off to one side and using it as a covering for the garden after thp under soil from the basement has been levelled off. Consideration should also be given to the slope of the ground, a piece of ground sloping toward the west or north will not be nearly as good for gardening as one sloping to the east or soulh, )vhile a piece of low lying level ground will likely require un- dergrainage to carry off the surplus moisture in order to pre- vent sourness of the soil. )Vith proper preparation of the soil and careful planning of its gardens, IVest Vancouver could be ma&le a veritable gar- den paradise and in later articles it is planned to discuss these subjects. iVote.--The writer will con- sider it a pleasure to answer questions concerning the garden in this column.

Go make thy garden as fair as thou canst, Thou workest never alone; And he whose plot is next to thine slay see it and mend his own. --Robert Collyer. I have often vcondered how many people through a gift of a few plants or seeds from a friendly neighbor nave been started on the way to having a garden of their o«m and brought to a realization of how much a garden means to health and hap- piness. Flowers grown in green houses may be more perfect in form and terture, but they are not the source of as much plea- sure as those grown in a home garden. To some the greatest pleasure is found in the garden in the earlv spring when the ten- der young shoots come peeping up through the ground, to oth- ers it is when the flowers burst into bloom, but to the true gar- den lover each succeding stage of growth in the garden appears more wonderful than the preced- ing one. There are many, who love their garden no matter how large or small it may be, many who know plants and the best ways of culture.. While this knovtledge is necessary, a deter- mination to do the best possible at all times is also very needful. Many, though desirous of hav- ing a garden are hesitant about starting, fearing that their lack of knowledge on the subject will involve them in grave difficul- ties. A sincere wish to reas- sure these timid souls and to aid those who are having difficulty with a garden already started or established is the reason for these articles. The planning of a garden re- quires the giving of one"s at- tention to many details, some of the most important being soil, drainage. contour of ground, ex- posure to cold winds, amount of sunshine, means of watering, fertilizing, etc. Serious consideration should be given to the kind of soil in \'H('I&CH KUIFI( K 20(h ood Rnqo(mo(l, Ho((yboto Sunday Setv(co at 1(.SO o. m. snd irlAIITI&Vw(EIVOUR'a( 100'i I'URE I'AliVT ls Ihe mos( eronon)ical I'uin( Io use "gave the surface and you save ~ "e.p &)c.g I'I.o&)k I'Al,'(T I'Ok('H I'AINT TANNISH STA(iN )vo tatty In stock ~ I'BKI'AI(KU 1YAX .a.a * I ~ n - &Ili il O4aaa wvu No mo(ltt who( IBABINR I'AINT PAI~ woo( (o polo( tome (ho tight polo( for'«&N)I) ST(I'4 wash( O()a~ I'AINT BR)10'YEB SCBEKN I'AINT STOVE I'I1'K I'VA)IEI Hollyburn General Store Ci R0CE R I ES HARDIVARli I'AliVTS, ETC.
