DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING. 



The directions given here are for the Southern part of Louisiana. 

 If applied to localities Xorth of here, the time of planting will not be 

 quite as early in spring, and earlier in fall. For instance : the direc- 

 tions for January will answer for February in the Northern part of

 directions for September can be followed in August. In those sections, 

 very little can be planted in November and December. 



JANUARY. 



Sow Spinach, Must-ard, Carrots, Beets, Parsnips and Leeks, the 

 i early varieties of Eadish, and for the last crop, the Black Spanish. 

 i Sow Spring and Purple Top Turnip. Euta Baga also may be sown, 



for table use later in spring. 



Sow Lettuce, Endive, Cabbage, Broccoli, Kohlrabi and Early Cauli- 

 flower; the latter best sown in a frame to be transplanted next month. 



Cress, Chervil, Parsley and Celery for cutting, should be sown this 

 month. Sow Eoquette and Sorrel. 



If the hot bed has not been prepared already, make it at once to 

 sow Egg Plant, Pepper and Tomatoes. 



All kinds of Herb seed may be sown during this month. Plant 

 Peas for a general crop, towards the end of the month the Extra Early

Plant Potatoes, but the Early jEose should not be planted before 

 the latter end of this month. 



Divide and transplant Shallots. Transplant Cabbage plants sown 

 in November. Onions, if not already set out, should be hurried with 

 now, so they may have time to bulb. Those who desire to raise Onion 

 sets, should sow the seed this month, as they may be used for setting
