which is not, and covered all the way from one-quarter of an inch 
up. The result is, some will be up under good conditions in 
forty-eight hours and others will continue to come up for three 
weeks. After a couple are up the others should be kept pulled out. 
The advantage of this plan is: if the first plants are lost by frost 
there will probably be others to take their place the next day. 
All will appreciate the difference in temperature on the protected 
south side of the ridge. 
For pickling, plant cucumbers July 1. 
Lima beans may be grown successfully in most parts of the 
state. The small bush lima is very prolific and about as hardy as 
any of our bush beans, with good length of season. There is no 
longer need for using the pole varieties. 
With the large limas we should bear in mind that all must turn 
upon edge before they can come up. Many times, because of 
their size or soil condition, they are unable to do so; as a result of 
which they necessarily rot. Then we think the seed has not been.

down when planting. Both Henderson and Burpee are good 
and may be had everywhere.

Valentine are good bush varieties and Lazy Wife is a good pole 
variety.

tleman and Stowells’ Evergreen will give a nice succession of true 
sweet corn. ; 
While celery does not need to be set early, the plant must be 
started early. The seed bed, like all other seed beds, should not 
be too rich or plants are liable to damp off if weather is dry. The 
bed must be watered and partially shaded to prevent baking. A 
slat cover where shade and sun alternates is best. 
Golden Self Blanching and White Plume are standard varieties. 
The plant food must be where the roots can get it. Therefore, 
if we trench (which for a garden is best) we must put plant food 
under the plants. Boards, building paper or roofing paper are 
good for blanching and are cheaper and easier than to use earth. 
If earth is used, plants should be carefully handled to avoid
