48 ANNUAL REPORT. 
Ilere we have ten rows of corn, occupying a space of thirty feet across the 
garden, and of just the sorts that will keep up a regular succession from the 
earliest to the latest period of the season for table corn, and all accom- 
plished at one planting. 
Next to the corn will be a good place for one row of Hubbard squash, and 
as they need a good deal of room, can be partially accommodated in the corn. 
This row of squashes must have a space of at least twelve feet wide. Next. 
to squashes will be a capital place for ten rows of early Ohio, or any favorite: 
early potato. Next to these, four rows of Snow Flake, as the best autumn 
potato. 
There must be a promiscuous row somewhere, and we will place it next. 
to the potatoes. In this plant half a dozen hills of summer crookneck 
squash, a few hills of okra and martynia, if you like it, and a few plauts of 
pepper and egg plant to finish the row. 
We will now leave a space of ten feet upon which to plant ten hills of 
early frame, or short green cucumbers, both for early use green and for 
pickles, and a few hills of Boston market white spined for table use later. 
We want a good supply of cabbages, and will plant two rows of early Jersey 
Waketield for first early, one row of Fottler’s Brunswick for second early, 
and two rows of Flat Dutch for late. 
Peas are a Juxury that you want in abundance. Plant two rows of Phila- 
delphia extra early, two rows of Little Gem, and two rows of Champion of 
England. These sorts, if all planted at the same time, will give you a 
good succession from first to last. 
For snap beans, one row of Early Valentine and one row of either the 
German Wax, Black Seed or the Golden Wax. For shell beans one-half 
of China Red Eye and one-half row of Horticultural pole; also plant one row 
of large Lima for use, both green and dry shelled. You want one row of 
Egyptian turnip beet for first early and a row of Dewing’s blood turnip beet 
for fall and winter use and to keep until spring. The beets may be sown 
thickly and thinned to eight inches as needed for greens. You will want 
one row of Danver’s half long carrot, one of long sugar parsnip and one of 
Salisfy. Plant half row of Snow Ball cauliflower and half a row of late 
London. 
Of onions you will want enough for summer and winter use. Two rows. 
planted to setts will answer for the former 
For winter use sow ten rows of red Wethersfield or yellow Danvers. 
You will plant more or less tomatoes, according to fancy. There are so 
mavy new ones and so many good ones that it is a matter of taste regarding’ 
which is the best. 
The Gen. Grant is a fine, large, early tomato. The Trophy is a good late 
one. The Acme, a meritorious candidate for favor, and our new St. Paul, a 
child of Minnesota origin, is bound to take a permanent place. 
The best new lettuce is the Dutch Butterhead, and the best old sorts the 
white-seeded Tennis Boll and the Early Curled Simpson. 
A couple of rows of Sandringham celery will not be out of place, and you 
need a little space for long scarlet-scarlet turnip and white turnip radishes, 
the latter remaining fit for use longer than any of the others, and of most 
excellent flavor. 
The time of planting must, of course vary much with all these varieties.
