22 DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



plowed in the fall, and cross-plowed in the spring, and well-manured, 

 is best adapted to it. The seed should be sown in the spring as soon as 

 the frost is out of the ground, on a clean well-prepared piece of ground, 

 in a warm, sheltered situation. Care should be taken to protect the 

 plants from frost. Transplant about the first of June, in rows about 

 three and a half feet apart. The culture of this plant is very much the 

 same as that usually adopted for Indian Corn, in stirring,the ground 

 and keeping down the weeds. 



BENE PLANT. 



Sesamum orientals. 

 A few leaves of this plant placed in cool water, produces a bland 

 healing mucilage, highly beneficial to children afflicted with summer 

 complaint. The seeds should be sown in a hot-bed, if early; for later 

 use, sow on a rich warm border about the 10th of May.

NEW VEGETABLES. 

 In this department there are very little changes to note, or new 

 varieties to offer which are likely to supersede old and well known 

 kinds. Dreer's Extra Early Peas still maintain their character as 

 the most early and productive; and Allen's Dwarf, or Tom Thumb, as 

 the most dwarfish. Among the late kinds the Champion of England 

 cannot be suspassed for delicacy; it is also a good bearer. The Win- 

 nigstadt Cabbage, introduced within a few years, maintains its character 

 as a superior " Second Early" variety: it is of a conical form, and very 

 solid. StoweWs Evergreen, and the Large Sugar Corn, are as yet unsur- 

 passed for culinary purposes, and are the favorites in this market.
