8A and SB are late cabbage plants, Louisville Drumhead, 

 pltd. 5-31. They made fine plants. Sold all of them and 

 could have sold ten times as many. 



KEY TO PLAN NO. 2 



The broken lines in this plan are the 

 vegetables that require the entire season 

 in which to mature. 



1st. — Bush Beans, Stringless G. Pod, pltd. 6-12. Done 

 fine. 



2d, 3d, 4th. — Bush Beans, Field's First Early. From seed 

 grown this season, pltd. 7-2S. Came up nicely, but the 

 drouth was too much for them. The shade and drouth to- 

 gether killed them when beginning to blossom. 



5th, 6th. — Planted to Field's Early Model Beets, 7-31. 

 Owing to the hot. dry condition of the soil and weather, none 

 came up. This space was cultivated until Aug. 31st, and 



planted to Turnips, Purple Top White Globe. Fine, the best 

 we have. 



7th, Sth. — Rutabaga, Heavy cropping Swede, pltd. 7~r9- 

 Came up and grew nicely but did not make very large bulbs, 

 planted too late. 



9th. — Kale Scotch Curled, pltd. 7-19. Fine. Ready for 

 use g-r. 



roth, nth, r2th — White Globe Purple Top Turnips, pltd. 

 7-ig. Thinned to stand 4 inches apart in the row. line 

 size and flavor. Ready to use September 1st. 



13th, r4th. — Radishes, White Icicle and China Winter 

 Rose and White, pltd. S-r. The Icicle, spring radishes, were 

 pulled out while young and tender, this thinned the winter 

 radishes and helped to cultivate them. The winter radishes 

 are eight and ten inches long two and three inches in diameter, 

 and just as brittle and fine. Flavor as the finest early radish 

 in the spring. I will pull and pack some of them in moist 

 earth and store in the cellar.-" 



In Plan No. r, the rows r to rr are three feet apart. The 

 short rows. A, B, C, and D are fifteen inches, and r2 to iS are 

 four feet apart. The short rows, which run to E-A, White 

 Icicle radishes, pltd. 5-g. B, Radish Crimson Globe, pltd. 

 5-9. Not as gcod as the White Icicle. C, Tomato plants, 

 Stone, for main crop. Poor stand, due to dry spell of weather 

 just as seed were germinating. D, Cabbage, Solid South, for 

 summer. Fine variety, plants, some of them got too large to 

 transplant. Pulled them up, roots and all, and gave them 

 to the poultry. 



E and F. — Plant frames. F, Tobacco White Burley. E, 

 Celery plants, White Plume and Golden Self Blanching, 

 As we grow a great deal of White Burley tobacco here, plants 

 are always in demand. This bed, 6 x too ft. sold for $9.50. 

 and which space was afterward plowed up and planted as shov. u 

 in plan No. 2.
