MARKET GARDEN NOTES. 



I lind iicj lietti-r (.r mmi' piufitable 

 tomato than the Stone. If I have poor 

 success in growing plants under glass, 

 t order seedling plants from JIaryland 

 in March and set in hotbed lieated 

 with manure. 



The Stokes early watermelon is the 

 best, most delicious and productive sort 

 I have ever grown. It is small in size, 

 red flesh and thin skin ; seed size of 

 large apple seed. It Avill ripen far north 

 of us, but to make sure grow iu frames 

 one foot square, covere<l with glass in 

 cold, raw weather. 



To grow sweet potatoes far north 

 don't plant on ridges. Plow a furrow iu 

 warm, sandy, poorish soil. I'ut in bot- 

 tom fresh stable manure well tramped 

 down and cover with three inches of soil. 

 On these ridges, one? foot apart, set the 

 short kinds like Jersey Ked. Tlauts can 

 be got in Xew Jersey "for $1.50 per 1,000 

 and should be set about the lirst of 

 June. 



I sow two sowings of the earliest peas 

 ten days apart, the first as soon as 

 gi'ound (>]iens in the spring, and at the 

 same time I'remium and t liauipion of 

 England, giving me a succession of peas 

 for^market and the table. 1 sow a few- 

 rows of Champion every week until 

 July to keep up a succession. Tlie de- 

 mand for green peas and sweet corn 

 generally exceeds the su|)ply in our mar- 

 ket. 



Asparagus is quickly sold at paying 

 prices. To grow from seed jwiur hot 

 water on and let it stand until it ger- 

 minates. 



I have had fine success growing early 

 plants, like tomato and cabbage, by 

 starting them as follows: Have a water- 

 tight sheet-iron pan any size and six 

 inches deep. Fill one-fourth to one- 

 third full of water; under pan put an 

 incubator lamp, thus beating water to 

 blood heat. In this water set small pans 

 or pots filled with earth, in which sow 

 the seed. When plants are an inch high 

 transplant in hotbeds. 



A fine border for flower l>eds is two 

 or three wires run around it on stakes, 

 and on this grow morning glories or 

 cinnamon vines. 



Soft coal will burn more freely and 

 with fewer clinkers if a little wood is 

 thrown on top occasionally.

Augusta, Kt.— W. L. Thomas, the 

 well-known florist, was drowned Febru- 

 ary 4 while crossing to the Ohio side. 

 The skiff was caught by a huge wave and 

 Mr. Thomas was thrown from the boat. 

 He leaves a widow and six children. His 

 eldest son, V. H. Thomas, will continue 

 the business.
