 before they can be sown in the open g-round. Plant out in rich soil when danger of frost is over, or protect by hand glasses: or by paper held down at the 

 corners with a handful of earth. For general crops, sow in the open ground as soon as the weather is settled and warm, and everv two weeks for a succes- 

 sion. For pickles sow from middleof June to first week of July. Sod land, turned over in the fall, is the best for them. Plantin hills 4 feet apart putting 

 a shovelful of well rotted manure in each hill.
