be sown in small quantities once in ten days, as it 

 soon runs to seed. 



MARCH. Sow carrots, beets, Swiss chard, pars- 

 nips, salsafy, cabbages, spinach, turnips, leeks, 

 tomatoes, peppers, radishes, lettuce, Guinea squash. 

 Plant cucumbers, okra, squashes, melons, snap 

 beans, cushaws, sewee beans, New Zealand spi- 

 nach. Transplant tomatoes, peppers, Guinea 

 squash, cabbages, and lettuce. 



Remarks. All the above vegetables should be 

 got in at as early a period as possible. Carrots 

 should now be sown for a full crop, and from Eng- 

 lish seed. Lettuce should remain where it is 

 sown. New Zealand spinach should be sown in 

 hills, three feet apart each way. Radishes should 

 be sown every three weeks. All Irish potatoes 

 should be planted this month. If the season be 

 mild, most of the vegetables mentioned in March 

 may be sown towards the last of the month. 



APRIL. Sow carrots, beets, salsafy, turnips, 

 cabbages, cauliflowers, brocoli, tomatoes, peppers, 

 radishes, lettuce, celery, leeks. Plant okra, snap 

 beans, squashes, sewee beans, cucumbers, cushaws, 

 melons. Transplant cabbages, tomatoes, peppers, 

 Guinea squashes. Prick out celery. 



Remarks. The sowing of the main crop of car- 

 rots for summer and autumn, ought not to be delay- 

 ed longer than this month, as they will be easily 

 killed when up. The seed should be from Europe, 

 or they will run to seed in the fall. Cucumbers, 

 squashes, and melons, do not succeed well if de- 

 layed until now, but a few may be sown. The 

 same remark applies to beets, salsafy, parsnips, 

 and turnips. 



MAY. Sow cabbages, savoys, carrots, beets,
