Land should be prepared to sow for an early Spring Crop, Spinach, Mustard, Carrots, 

 Beets, Turnips, Leeks, etc. Also all Early varieties of Radish may be sown during this 

 month, the Black Spanish, White California Mammoth and Chinese Rose for a late crop. 



Sow Lettuce, the FroLscher Company's Early Market may be considered the best for 

 early sowing, Endive, Escarolle. Cabbage for a late Spring and Early Summer crop, espe- 

 cially Finke's Succession and Finke's Pride of the South, Broccoli, Kohlrabi and Extra 

 Early Cauliflower. 



It is best to sow all in a cold frame and protect against the changeable weather. Cress, 

 Chervil, Parsley and Soup Celery should be sown, also, Roquette and Sorrel. Prepare hot 

 beds, if this has not been done during the previous month, to sow for early transplanting. 

 New Orleans Market Egg Plant, Pepper and towards the middle of the month Tomatoes. 



Sow Sweet and Medicinal Herbs at the beginning of the month, so as to get them 

 strong enough and well established before hot weather sets in. 



For a general crop Peas of all kinds maybe planted now; the later varieties, such as 

 Black-eyed and White Marrowfat, Champion of England, Eugenie, Strategem and Tele- 

 phone, first, and towards the end of the month the Extra Early and Early varieties like 

 Frotscher Company First and Best, Extra Early , Little Gem, and Alaska. 



Shallots should be transplanted and divided. Set out Cabbage and Cauliflower 

 plants sown in November and December. 



Onion plants which have not been set out last month must be set out now if they are 

 expected to bulb, if they are not too thick in the seed bed, we would advise to thin them 

 out tea proper stand, and set out those that had to be pulled up. 



Set out Asparagus roots and sow the seed of that vegetable during this month in well 

 prepared beds; work up the established Asparagus beds and dig in the manure which had 

 been put on as a top dressing in autumn. 



Cucumbers for forcing may be planted now. The best plan is to plant the seed in 

 flower pots which should be placed in a hot bed as near the glass as possible, now have 

 another hot bed ready and when the young plants in the pots have the first rough leaves 

 plant in this bed. For shipping cucumbers are generally planted by our gardeners here in 

 the month of December, or sometimes as early as November, but those planted in January 

 come nearly as early and bear more. IN THE FIELD 



Potatoes should be planted during this month. The late and second early varieties 

 such as Peerless, Rural New Yorker, White Elephant, etc., first, and the early varieties 

 like Early Rose towards the end of the month. 



Sow Texas Red and Turf Oats, also Mangel Wurzel and Sugar Beets for stock food. 



IN THE ORCHARD. 



Fruit Trees of all kinds, such as Pears, Plums, Peach, Apple, Pecan and Orange Trees 

 may be set out. Citrus trifoliata and Pecans for stools to bud upon should be sown now. 

 The sooner Pecan nuts are sown the better they come up. 



IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



Continue to sow Flower Seeds for Spring and early Summer blooming.
