of Radishes and Spring and Purple Top Turnip, Swiss Chard and 
Kohlrabi. 
Sow, for succession, Lettuce, Cabbage and Early Cauliflower; if the 
season is favorable, and the month of April not too dry, the latter may 
sueceed. : 
Cauliflower and Cabbage plants should 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 
during this month. 
This is the time fo 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 tosow 
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 atall. 
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 variety grown. 
Mangel Wurtzel 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.

latter part of the month sow Endive. Of Lettuce, the Royal Cabbage 
and Perpignan; the White Coss is a favorite variety 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 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,

in regard to Lima Beans holds good for Okra. Early varieties of Peas 
may still be planted.
