The possibilities of your vegetable garden have not been by any means ex- 

 hausted when you have raised one crop of vegetables. You can raise a host of 

 good things for the table from now onwards, until frost ends garden operations. 

 It is a fact, noted by a keen observer who travels much in New York, Pennsyl- 

 vania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, that some of the thriftiest 

 vegetable gardens are planted after June 1st. There is no doubt that many 

 varieties of vegetables yield larger crops from summer sown seed, than from 

 spring sown seed, because the weather prevailing at the time the young plants 

 attain any size is exactly suited to their requirements, and they are able to 

 grow and complete their development without check. 



Keep on sowing rows of Beets until August, as they are always welcome on 

 the table, and store well for winter. 



Plant Bush Beans now and at other times up to the 1st of September, and you 

 will reap additional harvests of sweet, tender pods. Note the engraving below, 

 showing a bountiful crop of Bush Beans. It was made from a photograph 

 sent to us by a customer, who planted this his second crop on July 25th and 

 made the first pickings from it on Sept. 20th. Sow Sweet Corn every two weeks 

 until July loth. There are many other varieties of sweet corn in our list classed 

 as " early." which mature quickly. The early part of June is the time to sow 

 Cabbage seeds for plants to set out for the winter crop, or we sell plants ready for 

 setting out (see page 13). Now is the best time in all the year to sow seeds of root 

 crops, such as Carrot, Turnip and Ruta Baga. Sow Ruta Baga in June and 

 Carrot and Turnip in July. The weather prevailing soon after the young plants 

 attain their true leaves is usually favorable to them, and they grow right on 

 without a check, consequently they are tender and palatable. For your health's 

 sake do not omit to put in more rows of Lettuce, indispensable and necessary 

 in every home. Seeds may be sown up to Aug. 15th. Black Seeded Simpson 

 and the curled varieties are the best to plant as they are great heat resisters. 

 Don't waste any ground, but in odd corners sow Radish at any time up to 

 September. Early White Summer Turnip succeeds well at this time. 



Besides those specially mentioned, there are many other seeds which may be 

 sown during the summer with every assurance of reaping bountiful crops. 

 These are listed in the following three pages of this catalogue. 



The varieties listed as ' ' early ' ' should be chosen as a rule , because they mature 

 more quickly than the varieties listed as " late."
