. The American home garden. Being principles and rules for the culture of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and shrubbery. To which are added brief notes on farm crops, with a table of their average product and chemical constituents. Gardening. AMERICAN HOME WARDEN. 49 to carrying their load than to facility in its discharge, as Fig. 35. Such arc our canal and rail-road shovels, "which, being also of sufficient capacity, serve well for the varied purposes of the gar- den. Perhaps the best size for common use is that known as No. 2, of Ames's manufacture, "with a handle about twenty-six inches long, including the eye, and a flattish, bright steel blade, cropped at the corners to aid its balance and general efficiency in excavating, its blade inclined slightly inward or upward by the shortening of the front strap and the bend of the handle. Long-handled shovels and spades occasionally serve a pur- pose, as in remo^dng matter which it is unpleasant to approach ; Ijut, except as prys, there is a great loss of power in using them, and in general they are suited only to the lame or the lazy.

The ordinary length of the handle should be twenty-six inches, including the eye ; but this may vary a little to advantage for persons of diffisrent height and flexibility. HOES.. The hilling-hoe. Fig. 38, is a thin, flat plate of steel, perforated, and having its eye or socket formed by inserting a solid Ijand of pretty stout sheet iron, the outer rim of which is turned
