For the Southern States. 
Cauliflower and Cabbage plants a be transplanted; Shallots 
divided and set out again. 
Sow Sorrel, Roquette, Chervil, Parsley, Cress and Celery. 
Peas of all kinds can be planted, especially the early varieties. The 
late kinds should be sown in January, but they may be planted dur- 
ing this month. 
This is the time to plant the general crop of Potatoes. On an aver- 
age they will succeed better when planted during this, than during 
any other month. 
Herb seeds should be planted, tender varieties best sown in a frame, 
and transplanted into the open ground afterwards. 
Asparagus roots should be planted; this is the proper month to sow 
the seed of this vegetable. 
Plants in the hot-bed will require attention; give air when the sun 
_ Shines and the weather is pleasant. If too thick, thin out so they may 
become sturdy. 
Bush Beans can be commenced with this month ; Cucumbers, Squash 
and Melons may be tried, as they often succeed ; if protected by small 
boxes, as most gardeners protect them, there is norisk at all. 
Corn cah be planted towards the end of this month. For market, 
the Adams Extra Early and Early White Flintare planted. I recom- 
mend the Sugar varieties for family use; they are just as large as those 
mentioned, and Stowel’s Evergreen is as large as any variety grown. 
Mangel Wurtzel and Sugar Beet should be sown in this month for 
stock. Sweet Potatoes can be put ina bed for sprouting, so as to 
have early slips. 
MARCH. 
Sow Beets, Radish, Cabbage, early varieties; Kohlrabi, Lettuce, 
Spinach, Mustard, Carrots, Swiss Chard and Leek. 
Also, Celery for cutting, Parsley, Roquette, Cress and Chervil. The 
latter part of the month sow Endive. Of Lettuce, the Royal Cabbage 
and Perpignan; the White Coss is a favorite variety dor spring; the 
Butterhead will run into seed too quickly and should not be sowg later 
than the middle of February in this latitude. 
Plant a full supply of Bush and Pole Beans. For Lima Beans bet- 
ter to wait till towards the end of the month, as they rot easily when 
the ground is not warm enough, or too wet. 
Squash, Cucumbers, Melons and Oxra can be planted. The remark 
in regard to Lima Beans holds good for Okra. Early varieties of Peas 
may still be planted. ; 
Tomatoes, Egg Plants and Peppers can be set out in the open ground, 
and seed sown for a later crop. Plant Sweet Corn. 
Potatoes can be planted; all depends upon the season. Some years 
they do as well as those planted during last month. 
Beans are hard to keep in this climate, and therefore very few are 
planted for shelling purposes. With a little care however, they can be 
kept, but they ought not to be planted before the first of August, so that 
they may ripen when the weather gets cooler. When the season is 
favorable leave them out till dry; gather the pods and expose them a
