IN THE VEGETABI.E GARDEN. 



Sow in the early part of March, Beets, Carrots, Radishes, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Let- 

 tuce, Leeks, Early Cabbage, Kohlrabi and Mustard; also Soup Celery for cutting, Parsley, 

 Roquette, Cress and Chervil. Near the end of the month sow Endive and Escarolle. 



The best Lettuce for this time is the Royal Cabbage head, Frotscher Company's Early 

 Market, The Drumhead, Perpignan and White Paris Coss are also excellent spring varie- 

 ties and especially the latter is a favorite market sort. The Butterhead if sown after the 

 middle of February will run into seed in our climate. 



All varieties of Bush and Pole Beans principally Frotscher Company's Extra Early Re- 

 fugee, Wardwell's Kidney Wax, Dwarf Flageolet or Perfection Wax, White Creaseback 

 Pole, Golden Wax Flageolet and Lazy Wife's, can be planted in this month. With Lima 

 and Sewee Beans, we would advise to wait until the end of the month as they are very apt 

 to rot if the ground is not warm enough. 



Plant Squash, Cucumbers, Melons and Okra in the open ground, and if the weather 

 permits, set out Tomato, Eggplant and Pepper plants for an early crop, and sow seed of 

 these for later planting. Of Melons, try our New Orleans Market Canteloupe. the Frotscher 

 Company's Preserving Citron, Florida's Favorite, Saccharine Beauty and Frotscher Com- 

 pany's Gem. Plant Sugar Corn for the Market and family use. Our Gardeners here 

 plant no Sugar Corn for the market, relying principally on Adams Early. White St. 

 Charles, Rockc^ale, Champion White Pearl and other Field varieties, yet there is no bet- 

 ter table variety than Stowell's Evergreen Sugar. IN THE FIELD 



in the first half of this month Potatoes may still be planted and will yield well if the 

 weather is favorable. In fact we have seen the finest crop raisp^d from Potatoes planted 

 on the 15th of this month. 



Sow Lespedeza at the beginning of March and towards the end Sorghum, Kaffir Corn, 

 Giant Beggar Weed, Teosinte and Milo Maize for stock food. Plant Sweet Potatoes 

 to raise slips from for the general crop. IN THE ORCHARD 



little can be done during this month beyond keeping the grass off and mulching newly 

 planted trees. Sometimes when the season is retarded, Trees may be- set out the first 

 half of the month. IN THE FLOWER GARDEN 



all Summer bloomers may be sown during March. Plant Dahlia, Gladiolus and Tube- 

 rose Bulbs and set out Chrysanthemums for fall blooming. 



Our assortment of Flower Seeds and Flowering" Bulbs, suitable for our 

 Southern climate, is the best that can be found.
