KITCHEN GARDEN. 



MARCH. 



PLA^T SMALL ONIOXS. 



Plant small onions in drills an inch deep, and twelve 

 inches asunder, the plants three inches apart in the 

 drills ; nip the seed bud out when it appears : plant in 

 good ground, rather stiff. Those small onions will grow 

 to a good size. 



PLANT ONIONS FOR SEED. 



Plant the best and largest onions in drills an inch or 

 two deep, twelve inches asunder ; the plants four or five 

 inches apart ; when their heads come, support the stalks 

 with a stake each, and when the seed is ripe, gather 

 and dry it. 



MELONGENA, OR EGG PL^^MT. 



The purple is preferable to the white kind. Sow 

 the seed ab\)ut the middle of this month on a hotbed, 

 (see formation of hot beds in January,) covered six 

 inches deep with earth ; then cover the seed with an 

 inch depth of earth, put on a frame, and when the plant* 

 appear, v/ater them gently and admit air freely in the 

 day When they are as large as cabbage plants, take 

 the glass off to make them ready ; plant them in a piece 

 of ground well dug, in rows fifteen inches asunder, the 

 plants twelve inches apart in the rows; water them 

 well, and keep them clear of weeds. When the fruit i8 

 young, it is fit for use. Those you want for seed must 

 remain till they are yellow and ripe. 



- ^ SOW LOVE APPLES 



About the middle of the month in open ground. The 

 fruit is used for soups and pickles. Sow the seed on the 

 surface and rake it in.
