Excerpt from Vegetable Growing Projects
This is a handbook for progressive vegetable growers. It is a reliable and up-to-date rule-book for both home gardening and market gardening. It springs from Pennsylvania, a state great in gardening owing to nearness to big cities and their markets; and Dean Watts, its author, is an experienced and widely recognized authority in these fields.
It is, also, a guidebook for studying vegetable growing thoroughly from all angles, - practical and technical, managerial and scientific. It applies principles set forth in Vocational Agricultural Education, the first book of this "Project Series." By its open spacing, it offers a convenient framework for listing local problems, questions, and plans. This open spacing should assist in keeping help and self-help of the learner in desirable balance. It should make the learner at once critical and self-reliant.
The open-spaced "Calendar" of activities, in particular, should lighten the labors of effective planning for both gardener and teacher. The author, in his "Explanations and Suggestions," has not overstated the importance of the reciprocally beneficial processes of doing as an aid to learning, and of learning as an aid to doing; nor, of choice of the proposed project at the outset, in order that every move may be made to count toward its successful outcome as an enterprise that is to be both productive and educational. The "Calendar" outlines summer study under field conditions, as well as study during the usual school year.
