Book Description
Excerpt from Gardens for New Brunswick Schools Care of the Garden After Planting - When once the planting is done. Two half-hours' work per week is sufficient to keep the garden in good condition. The prevention rather than the eradication of weeds should be aimed at. If cultivation is carried on regularly and systematically from the first. The weeds will all be destroyed in the germinating stage and will give no further trouble. Mere weed killing is not the greatest value to be gained by cultivation, however for if the soil is thoroughly stirred around the roots of the plants a couple of times every week. The necessary supply of air in the soil for rapid growth will be ensured. In many cases the top soil forms into a hard crust, especially after a heavy rainfall, and in this hard soil are many little channels through which moisture escapes into the air by evaporation. This soil should be finely pulverized to a depth of two or three inches, thus forming an earth mulch which prevents the rapid escape of moisture from the soil. If mulching and cultivation are thus carefully attended to, the difficult problems connected with the weeding and watering of the garden are incidentally solved. The garden rake should supersede the sprinkling can under ordinary circumstances. Of course it is necessary to water plants after transplanting, and there are certain soils that need watering occasionally during a dry season. But such cases are not common. If artificial watering is needed it should be done in the evening and a plentiful supply should be given. Merely wetting the surface soil encourages shallow rooting and is injurious to the plants.

Book Description
Excerpt from School Gardening IN the curriculum of the rural, the provincial, or even the urban school, there is no more delightful subject than that which is treated of in the following pages. It is a subject that introduces the scholar to the possibilities of the soil and to those physical forces that in days past have built up our national wealth; it brings him into contact with the agencies of Nature whereby the plant is induced to yield its contribution to the dietary of the human race. There is no more fascinating work for boys who in their small gardens learn by seeing and doing. Of course, as in all things, it is essential that procedure should be carefully directed and both teachers and scholars should derive much useful information and guidance from this small book. School Gardening is gaining in popularity year by year, and county after county is adopting it as a valuable practical asset to the curricula of their schools. In its bearing on the study that is conducted in the class-room it has proved itself of sterling value as a medium for the correlation of the Nature subjects. It is a subject, however, that demands some amount of experience on the part of the instructor, and where this has been limited through uncontrollable circum stances the present work should do much to establish the teaching upon correct lines.

Book Description
Excerpt from Forest Nurseries for Schools In, recent years there has been evident a decided movement toward the introduction of nature study and elementary agriculture into the regular work of the public schools. One of the most popular and interesting features of this movement has been the school garden. The large number Of schools, both rural and city, which have estab lished gardens, and the volume of literature which has been con tributed on this subject, attest the importance and success which the school garden has achieved in the educational world. Hitherto most school gardens have been devoted exclusively to the growing of common garden vegetables and flowering plants, with here and there the introduction of new species as an additional incen tive to interest. One of the chief difficulties encountered has been that most of the plants and vegetables suitable for cultivation and demonstration purposes required by the school work mature or reach their most interesting stages at' a season when the school is ordinarily closed for vacation. Another thing which has tended to make much schqyl-garden work somewhat unsatisfactory is that after the work is o ce done no visible, tangible results are evident, and apparently no lasting good is accomplished other than the instruction given and the knowledge Of plant life which may have been acquired.
