GARDEN SEEDS FOR HALF AN ACRE. 



The following seeds, with judicious management, will fully 

 crop a garden of half an acre, which will supply a moderate 

 sized family with vegetables throughout the year. Vegetable 

 seeds, where carefully grown in this country, are (with a few 

 exceptions) preferable to those imported ; but the utter care- 

 lessness manifested by many in keeping them apart when 

 growing, is not to be recommended. 



Seeds should always be kept in bags, in a dry, airy situa- 

 tion. Wall closets and cellars are objectionable, from their 

 dampness. All seeds will keep two, and many from three to 

 eix years.
