important factors in the success of a garden is to have all work 

 done at the right time and in the right way. 



The varieties, amount of seed needed and notes regarding 

 the time of planting, distance between rows and plants are given 

 below in tabular form. The time of planting is relative rather 

 than accurate, for one must use his best judgment in the matter. 



Several plantings at ten-day intervals should be made of 

 radish, lettuce and sweet corn to provide a succession; a second 

 planting of beets, carrots, turnips and rutabagas in late July to 

 provide young roots for winter use. Two or more plantings of 

 peas and string beans will provide fresh supplies of these im- 

 portant crops.

Summer Care of Strawberries. — On the care which the strawberry 

 plantation receives during the growing season will depend to a large 

 extent the kind of crop there will be next season. The more runners that 

 can be placed with hand and trowel so that the plants will root quickly and 

 be evenly spaced, the better. Very often there are too many plants in one 

 place and not enough in another. Where plants are crowded and much less 

 than six inches apart, the crowns do not develop well and the fruit is liable 

 to be small. It is important to keep the plantation free of weeds and the 

 ground cultivated as long as possible, as late growth, in the case of straw- 

 berries, will result in better plants. A light covering of clean straw is 

 desirable when the ground freezes in the autumn, to prevent alternate thaw- 

 ing and freezing in the winter or following spring. — W. T. Macoun.
