Explanation of Signs 

 Used in the Table. 



+ To be sown in open ground 

 without transplanting. Plants 

 have to be thinned out, giving 

 proper distance. 



1. Sow on seed bed in the gar- 

 den, and transplant thence to per- 

 manent place. 



2. Make two sowings in open 

 ground during the month. 



3. Make three sowings in open 

 ground during the month. 



4. Start in greenhouse or hot- 

 bed, and plant out as soon as the 

 ground is in good shape, and 

 weather permits. 



5. Sow in open ground as soon 

 as it can be worked. 



6. To be grown only in hot-bed 

 or greenhouse. 



7. Sow in cold frame, keep 

 plants there over winter with a 

 little protection ; plant out in 

 spring as soon as the ground can 

 be worked. 



8. To be sown in open ground, 

 and protected with litter over 

 winter. 



9. Plant in frame. When cold 

 weather sets in, cover with sash 

 and straw mats. Plants will be 

 ready for use in December and 

 January. 



10. Plant in cellar, barn, or 

 under benches in greenhouse. 



11. Plant outdoors on prepared 

 beds. 



12. Sow every week in green- 

 house or frame, to have a good 

 succession. 



N. B. — For last planting of 

 Beans, Sweet Corn, Kohlrabi, 

 Peas and Radishes, or even Toma- 

 toes, take the earliest varieties, 

 just the same as are used for first 

 planting. 



■ — ■ The late sowing of Salsify 

 is intended to remain undis- 

 turbed over winter. Roots from 

 these sowings will, the next year, 

 attain a size double that usually 

 seen.
