 growing; all undesirables have been dis- 

 carded. Yet it covers everything in

FOR THE SCUT 



W WSSmt 



Planting for the Future 



CONSERVATION is the keynote, 

 on account of the scarcity of food 

 — and as that is occasioned by 

 scarcity of labor let every effort tell. 

 Have the best seed. Plow only as much as 

 you can bring to perfection, but plant to the 

 limit. Plant vegetables of the highest food 

 value and those least subject to disease. 

 Prevent disease by spraying every two weeks 

 with bordeaux and put with this arsenate of 

 lead to destroy the larvae of insects. Spray 

 constantly potato, tomato, cabbage and pep- 

 per and eggplants. Keep the soil stirred 

 about the plants to conserve moisture es- 

 pecially during the heated term. Water 

 with manure water, as keeping plants well 

 nourished gives them strength to resist disease 

 and also brings them to maturity quicker. 

 Keep weeds down, otherwise insects will be 

 harbored and cutworms will infest the garden 

 for another season's onslaught. Keep all 

 space occupied, and as soon as one crop is off 

 put in another — but plant a vegetable of a 

 different character. A root crop should follow 

 a leaf crop. That is; beets, carrots or salsify 

 can follow cabbage or lettuce. Keep up 

 successional sowings of snapbeans and corn 

 and beets. 



\] TP TO end of July plant Country Gentle- 

 *"^ man and Stowell's White Evergreen 

 corn; later than this return to the early corns 

 such as Golden Bantam and Adams Early. 

 Put in the last planting of tomato plants 

 a main crop kind such as Stone and Greater 

 Baltimore. Many will not ripen before frost 

 but can be gathered green, each one wrapped 

 in paper and put away on shelves in a cool 

 cellar to ripen throughout the winter. 



Put in celery plants. See method of culture 

 in July 1916 Garden Magazine. Set out 

 fall cabbage plants and sow seed for winter 

 cabbage in cold-frames — Autumn King is a 

 splendid keeper. Transplant beets to the 

 open ground about six inches apart. They 

 are a good winter vegetable and come in 

 before the first tender Spring onions. 



A few plants of Scotch kale put in hills two 

 feet apart and allowed to grow large comes 

 in as an early fall salad or greens; Danvers 

 half-long carrots (to remain in ground for 

 winter use); Blood Turnip beet — and witloof 

 chicory or French endive. Directions will 

 be given latter how to treat this vegetable 

 to have all winter. Plant late Irish potatoes.
