80 Eicliard Frotschers Almanac and Garden ILanual 



varieties of Eadishes and Spring and Purple Top Turnip, Swiss 

 Chard and Kohlrabi. 



Sow for succession Lettuce. Cabbage and E;trly Cauliflower: 

 if the season is favorable and the month of April not too dry the 

 latter may succeed. 



Cauliflower and Cabbage plants should be transplanted: Shal- 

 lots divided and set out again. 



Sow Sorrel. Eoquette, 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 plant- 

 ed during this month. 



This is the time to plant the general crop of Potatoes. On 

 an average they will succeed better when planted during this, 

 than during any other month. 



Herb seeds should b*- planted, tender varieties best sown in 

 a frame, and transplanted into the open ground afterwards. 



AsiDaragus 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 pro- 

 tected by small boxes, as most gardeners protect them, there is 

 no risk at all. 



Corn can be planted towards the end of this month. For 

 market, the Adams Extra Early and Early White Flint are plant- 

 ed. I recommend the Sugar varieties for family use: they are 

 just as large as those mentioned, and StoweFs Evergreen is as 

 large as any variety grown. 



Mangel Wurtzel and Sugar Beet should be sown This month 

 for stock. Sweet Potatoes can be put in a bed for sprouting, so 

 as to have early slips. 



MARCH. 



Sow Beets, Eadish. Cabbage, early varieties: Kohlrabi. Let- 

 tucOj Spinach, Mustard, Carrots. Swiss Chard and Leek. 



Also, Celery tor cutting, Parsley, Eoquette, Cress and Cher- 

 vil. The latter part of the month sow Endive. Of Lettuce, the 

 Eoyal Cabbage and Perpignan : the White Coss is a favorite va- 

 riety for spring: the Butterhead will run into seed too quickly 

 and should not be sown later than the middle of February in this 

 latitude. 



Plant a full supply of Bush and Pole Beans. For LimaBeans 

 better to wait till towards the end cf the month, as they rot easily 

 when the ground is not warm enough, or too wet. 



Squash, Cucumbers, Melons and Okra can be planted. The 

 remark in regard to Lima Beans holds good for Okra. Early va- 

 rieties 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.
