It is a good rule to observe that no ripe seeds should be allowed to 

 fall on the beds ; they should be stripped off the plants before they have 

 a chance to drop. Seedlings will become a nuisance in the beds, and 

 they interfere with, the regularity of the rows. 



A few early peas, also some broad beans, may now be sown; cabbage, 

 cauliflower, and other seedlings should be planted out from the seed 

 beds. All garden herbs, such as thyme, mint, horse-radish, sage, &c., 

 as well as rhubarb, should be divided and planted out where necessary. 



Onion seeds for an early crop may be planted out towards the end 

 of the month. Brown Spanish is very hard to beat as an all-round 

 onion, while the variety of Early Brown Spanish may be relied upon 

 to jDroduce an early crop. 



FRANKLIN'S WORDS OF WISDOM. 



Want of care does more damage than want of wisdom. For want of 

 a nail the shoe was lost, and for want of a shoe the horse was lost. 



For age and want save while you may, no morning sun lasts all the 

 day. 



Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. 



Creditors have better memories than debtors.

 morrow. 



If you have your business done, go; if not, send. 



Foolish men make feasts, and wise men eat them. 



He that by the plough would thrive, himself must either hold or 

 drive. 



The eye of the master will do more work than his hands. 



Always taking out of the meal tub and never putting in soon comes to 

 the bottom. 



If you would know the value of money, try to borrow some. 



Industry needs not wish, and he that lives upon hope will die fasting. 



Buy what thou hast no need of, and ere long thou wilt sell thy 

 necessaries. 



At a great pennyworth pause awhile ; many are ruined by buying 

 bargains.
