Peas, onions, beets, salsify, radish, lettuce and beans, sow in 

 drills. For asparagus and rhubarb, dig a trench one foot deep, 

 by one wide, till the trench half full of manure, and set the 

 asparagus so that the crowns of the plants will be from four to 

 six inches below the surface of the ground, and the rhubarb so 

 that the crown of the plant will be just under the surface. Plant 

 in hills three feet apart. 



Any part of a horse radish root that has the bark on will grow. 

 Cut the root in pieces about two inches long. Plant in hills two 

 feet apart, and four inches deep. Sow cabbage and tomato seed 

 early, very thick in drills, and when large enough, transplant the 

 former two feet between each hill, and the latter, f©ur feet. Cut 

 the potatoes in pieces, three eyes on a piece, and plant fifteen 

 inches apart. Plant the early sweet corn two and a half, and the 

 later, three and a half feet between the hills. Plant both as soon 

 as safe from frost, and follow with three more plantings of the 

 late, with from ten days, to two weeks, between each planting. 

 This will give sweet corn every day from the time the first is fit 

 to cut, until frost comes. 



Plant melons and cucumbers from May 25th to June 15th, in 

 hills five feet apart. Early planting is more liable to be destroyed 

 by striped bugs and cut worms. By the tenth of July, both 

 kinds of peas have done bearing; clear away the vines, cultivate
