92 Richard I^roUcher's Almanac and Garden Manual 



of Radishes and Spring- and Purple T^M) Turnip. Swiss Chard and 

 Kohlrabi, 



Sow, forsnccession, Lettuce, Cabbage and Early Cauliflower ; if the 

 season is favorable, and the month of April not too dry, the latter may 

 succeed. 



Cauliflovrer and Cabbage plants should be transplanted ; Shallots 

 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 planted 

 during this month. 



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

 age the3' "^"^ill 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 recxuire attention ;.give air when the sun 

 ihines, 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 ma^- be tried, as they often succeed ; if protected 

 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 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 varietj^ grown. 



Mangel Wurzel and Sugar Beet should be sown in 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. Lettuce, 

 Spinach, Mustard, Carrots, Swiss Chard and Leek. 



Also, Celery for cutting, Parsley, Eouuette, Cress and Chervil. The 

 latter part of the month sow Endive. Of Lettuce, the Eoyal Cabbage 

 and Perpignan ; the White Coss is a favorite variety for spring: the 

 Butterhead will run into seed too quickly, and should not ])e sown 

 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, a- thev 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 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 

 vears they do as well as those jdauted during last month.
