GARDENING. 



July /, 



I don't use manj' squashes, but grow a 

 little of Delicata and find it good both for 

 summer and winter work. 



Ignotum and Stone tomatoes suit me 

 very well. I plant them in 4 foot ajjart 

 rows, and the plants 3 feet asunder in 

 the rows. To each plant I put a stout 6 

 foot high stake as for a dahlia, and to 

 this tie up the tomato plants, one plant 

 to each stick and only three shoots to 

 each plant, all the other being cut away. 



White Egg turnip, also the Purple top 

 White Globe are the ones I grow; sow 

 them in rows. (',. \\. WiNSi AiiK.
