Think of themselves in the world, in a very different way. If you want to understand the 20th century, if you want to understand the role that the United States plays, the 1890s is the place to start because the transformation that you see among the people and their attitudes in the 1890s is little short of amazing. Remember this. Remember that as far back as you want to go in American History, the idea has been that the United States and before that, the american colonies we are over here and the rest of the world is the rest of the world. There is this purposeful sense that we are us, and the rest of the world can do whatever it wants. Whatever it is going to do, it is not going to affect us.

Now lets see on this little model of their quarter acre garden the plan they work out. Heres the early garden. Here, four rows of early potatoes. Then, two double rows of peas early, medium, and late. One row of cabbage. Double row of carrots and beets. Half a row of each. One double row of greens, spinach, mustard and chard. Late, wiltarly and resistant. Peppers, half a roll. Radishes, lettuces and on onions next to the house. Asparagus and rhubarb beds at the side. Four rows of sweet corn along the fence. And finally, two rows of lima beans complete the early garden. Now for the late garden. After each of the early crops is harvested, a planting of another crop is to be made so as to have a succession. For convenience of illustration, all early crops except tomatoes and chard are removed from the model. Here are the later crops. Four rows of u. S. Number five beans. Two rows of squash along the fence. Three rows of late potatoes. Late cabbage. Carrots and beets, half double rows each
