70 THE GABDENETTE 



Salsify may be dug as used, or it may be left 

 in the ground all winter. Light freezing rather 

 improves it. 



For winter's use dig and store in sand in box 

 in cellar. 



Mammoth Sandwich Island is a fine variety. 



SPINACH 



Sprout the seed, and sow in hills or rows 

 twelve inches apart, and about three inches apart 

 in row. Cover one inch. Sow at intervals of 

 three weeks for succession. For late, sow in Sep- 

 tember. 



When weather gets warm, shade with screens 

 supported on stakes two feet high. 



SUGAE CORN 



Plant all kinds of sugar corn in rows four feet 

 apart and about eight inches apart in rows. But 

 first sprout the seeds, and reject any that do 

 not start vigorous growth. Cover two inches 

 deep. 



It is useless to plant before the ground is warm, 

 for seed will rot, but if seed is carefully sprouted 

 they may be planted a week earlier on Sandwich 

 Beds than on ordinary soil. By this plan ten 

 days' time is gained over other methods. 



Corn may be grown with Early Ohio potatoes, 

 as shown in third " Group Planting." This plan 

 is designed where the available area is very lim- 

 ited. If there is room, separate planting is 

 recommended. 



For succession plant every three weeks till 

 July.
