This list may be varied more or less, according to taste or 

 notion. Most gardeners will like to plant some novelties, and 

 many have special favorites among the vegetables. It is but fair 

 that all whims, in this line, should be humored. 



Let us add one more word of advice in regard to the pur- 

 chase of seeds. I find it most economical, and surely most 

 convenient, to purchase at least a double quantity of seed of all 

 my staple varieties which can be depended upon to retain their 

 vitality for a number of years, especially cabbage, cauliflower, 

 beet, carrot, turnip, pepper, tomato, cucumber, melon, squash, 

 radish, lettuce, etc. I can buy such seeds cheaper in quantity 

 than by the packet or ounce. 



These seeds are always on hand when wanted, and of some 

 of them we desire to sow little patches quite frequently during 

 the summer. What is left one year comes handy next year, and 

 after the first year we know exactly what kind of vegetables we 

 will get from the once-tested seed.
