 Celery, Potatoes, Onions or Peas, but avoiding such crops as 

 Cabbage or Turnips, or any of the tap-rooted section. For 

 early and main crops sow the latter part of April ; for later 

 crops they may be sown any time until the beginning of June.

 thinning out to 3 or 4 inches between the plants.
