First Experiments to Be Mndo
in Sections Where Unused
Land Is Plentiful
With the Idea nt further sttmulatlnfi
and promotliiR the cultlxatlon of vegetable
cardens on unused trncts of land, Mnyor
Smith has Just concluded all details of nn
arrangement by which portions nf manv
of the public square will be turned Into
vegetable Kardcns. which will be known as
War Hardens. '
M;ror Kmltli Is worktni? out the !dei
thioiiKh Director ti.itesmnn. who Is heln
assisted by Chief I'ummNkey. of the Ilureau
of City l'roperty, and Itaymond Pond, City
l'Orester
The Idea is to cstnbllli n sort of deninn
stratlon Karden In each of the squares.
Tile Hardens nre to be laid out. planted nnd
dex eloped In such a manner im to be the
meruit of instr- Hon ns well ni stimulation
to tliose who e adjacent to the squares
and who may be thus Induced to develop
Kardcns of their own.
As n result of a conference between
Mnnr Smith nnd Director Dalesman those
Kquaiet which have been selected for the
establishment nf the first of the war Kar
dcns are In locations which are adjacent
to much open ground not u-ed for any
purposo and whlfli could be ery well and
verv easily developed
The parks and squnres where the first
of the gardens will be established are:
Clark's l'ark, Forty-third street and
Haltlmoio aenue
tlorgas l'ark. Illdga nenue and Hermi
tage street.
Stinger IMrk, Tlility-thlrd and Dickinson
stteets
Mcl'herson Square, Indians avenue and
F street.
Vernon Park, 3rceno street and Cheiten
ncntio.
Miniin Situare, Sixth and Wolf streets.
Slenton l'ark, Eighteenth and Wyoming
avenue.
Dlsston Park, Keystone and Longshore
streets.
l'ON'D MAKCS PI.A.V
Tlie p'lan for the laying out of each of the
g.tidens has already been finished by City
I'oiester Pond. It calls for a plot in e.cli
of the parks or squares forty by forty-fle
feet This plot will be dllded Into two sec
tions, one twenty by forty feet and one
twenty by twenty feet, wlt'n a small plot
between The plan also pnnldes for the
kind of vegetables which are to be grown
and the space In each sertlon of the plot
nllotted for the cultivation of each particular
kind of vegetable.
The development and cultivation of the
gardens will not entail an.v expense what
ever to the city. All the seed which will
be used In'these gardens Is to be furnished,
free of cliaige, by u Philadelphia store.
The work of planting the seed, cultivating
the garden In each Instance Is to be done
by ii force of city eniplnjcs now at work
In the p.uks and squaies They aro to re
ceive no additional compensation for this
work, but have been given the privilege of
appropriating to their own us-e' nil vege
tables raised In tliee gaiden"
WILL lIXTI'Mi SVSTHM
As the war garden schejne is developed
It Is to be extended to other parks nnd
sqilares until all possible demonstration
can be afforded to those who are Interested
In the cultivation of vegetables
The. ultimate effect of the war garden.
It Is believed by Ma.vor Smith and Director
Datesman, will be most beneficial as .re
gards the fooil supply and prices. So far
as they ate concerned, they Intend to do
cver.v thing that Is possible to make these
gardens most beneficial fiom a public stand
point, nnd they hope that their efforts In
this dliectlon will be appreciated to such an
extent l those who have access to unused
giounil that they will at once set to work
developing gardens of their own
