*In inches, unless otherwise indicated. 



The planting dales given are for the latitude of New York — every 100 miles north or south making a difference of about a 

 week in the season. 



The distances given for planting "apart ia the rows" indicate the distance after thinning — seed should be sown much thicker. 



Grout's. — A. May be started early (under glass in Spring, out- doors in seed-bed later), and then transplanted to permanent loca- 

 tions. B. Usually occupies ground for entire season. C. Mature quickly, requiring for a constant supply, several sowings each 

 season. D. May usually be cleared off in time to permit planting another crop, generally of an early variety. E. May be used to 

 follow early crops, such as those in group D, which are cleared off the ground as soon as possible.
