Vegetable Forcing. 



Henry Phillip, Eogers Park, Chi- 

 cago, was given the opportunity of test- 

 ing the Davis Perfect cucumber before 

 arrangements had been made for its 

 distribution to the trade and reports be- 

 ing well pleased with the results obtained 

 withlt. 



Market gardeners at Eochester, N. Y., 

 use quite largely a cucumber called The 

 Howard, both for forcing and for out- 

 doors. James Vick's Sons say the vari- 

 ety is the result of a cross between 

 Arlington White Spine and Improved 

 Long Green. 



All melon growers are familiar with 

 the superior flavor and aroma of the 

 salmon-fleshed varieties, such as Osage 

 and Emerald Gem, but the flesh of these 

 fine melons is too soft for long ship- 

 ments. It is said this defect has been 

 remedied in the new Burrell Gem.

STARTING SPRING PLANTS. 



Cabbage and cauliflower seeds should 

 be sown without delay, to allow time to 

 make plants of good size without having 

 to hurry them, and to insure nice stocky 

 plants. The best variety of cabbage to 

 sow is Early Jersey Wakefield and the 

 best early cauliflower is Snowball or 

 Dwarf Erfurt. The seed of both these 

 varieties of cauliflower is higher priced 

 than the average run of varieties but 

 they are sure to give satisfaction, and 

 having customers satisfied is worth a 

 little extra outlay. 



A few onions also should be sown 

 early. There seems to be an increasing 

 demand for these for planting out, as 

 those planted out attain a much larger 

 size than those sown in the open ground. 

 The Tripoli varieties are good for this 

 purpose, also Prizetaker. The seed of 

 the latter can now be procured about as 

 cheaply as that of the ordinary varieties. 



Tomatoes had better be started toward 

 the end of the month or at the beginning 

 of March. The trouble in sowing them 

 too soon is that they are apt to be too 

 large and leggy before time to plant
