The tliouglitfiil cultivator will, iis a necessary pre- 

 caution, provide himself with a surplus quantity of the 

 seeds he designs to plant, to hold as a reserve for replant- 

 ings, as dry weather, beating rains and insect depreda- 

 tions often destroy the first sowings. The amateur gar- 

 dener, and the expert, as well, should make out a list of 

 the varieties of vegetables he desires to have, and then 

 lay off on a paper a diagram of his garden,- assigning 

 certain rows to each sort. He can then readily calculate 

 the amount of seed he will require.
