NOVE T JAMS "Every suburban and country household should plant and nurture a garden and raise small fruits; then during the summer from the products of this effort the bulk of the food for the family should be provided, and all surplus should be carefully preserved for future use. The economic conditions of the age demand this.” In these words Janet McKenzie Hill, the American cookery expert, appeals to housewives in the United States, and her advice might with even more advantage be copied in New Zealand homes, especially in country districts where fresh fruit and green vegetables are often scarce or unobtainable. It is surprsing what a useful little orchard can be grown on a small piece of ground.
