gross and net
proceeds. Statement showing the above.

Composition: General connected account or story of the work done and the
things learned during the season, as taken from the garden diary and
from memory.

Exercises in writing and spelling, as suitable seat work.

Geography: Weather observations, as related to the garden work and to
plant growth. Comparison of the soil of the garden with other samples
from the district, as to composition and origin. Direction, as related
to the paths or walks in the garden.

Map drawing: Plans of plots and of whole garden and grounds, represented
on sand-table, paper, or black-board. Map drawing on a horizontal
surface is best for the first year or two.

The products of the garden, as compared with home products, as food
supplies for man and beast.

Manual Training: Making of seed envelopes and boxes, modelling in clay
of fruits and vegetables.

CLIMBING PLANTS

Observe particularly the sweet-pea and morning-glory.

Consider the following points:

1. Advantages gained by climbing, such as securing of more light,
production of many leaves and flowers, and not so much stem.

2. Method of climbing--sweet-pea by tendrils that wind around the
support; morning-glory by twining its rough stem closely around its
support. Do all morning-glory vines twine in the same direction? Find
other vines that climb. Examine their modes of climbing.

3. Time of flowering and notes on how to plant.

Make drawings of the leaves and blossoms.

TREES

(See type lesson on trees under Form I.)

In this Form it is better to follow closely the development of one or
two selected trees in school or on the home grounds than to attempt to
observe many different species. Allow the pupils to choose their own
trees for study and, if possible, have them select one at home and
another near the school or on the way to school. The following points
might receive attention: The name of the species, whence obtained and by
whom planted if known; its approximate height, size, and age; its
location, and the nature of the soil; its general shape, and whether or
not influenced at present or at some time in the past by proximity to
other trees; description and arrangement of its branches, leaves, and
buds, its bark, flowers, and fruit; time of leafing out and blossoming;
colouring and falling of leaves and ripening of seeds; the amount of
growth for the year compared with that of previous years as sho
