VEGETABI^E GABDEIT.— Sow Bush, 



Pole and Lima Beans, Sweet Corn, 

 Cucumbers, Squash, Melons and Okra, 

 Beets, Carrots, Swiss Chard, Radishes, 

 Lettuce, Mustard, Endive, Roquette, 

 Cress, Parsley, Chervil and Celery for 

 cutting-. 



Set out Onion Sets, Chives, and 

 Shallots. 



Sow Tomatoes, Eg-g-plants and Peppers. 



Early Cabbage may be successfully 

 sown. Kohlrabi can be sown, but it is 

 best to sow thinly in drills a foot apart, 

 and thin out to four inches in the rows 

 instead of transplanting-. Towards the 

 end of this month a sowing of the late 

 Italian Cauliflower can be made, as it 

 takes from eight to nine months to ma- 

 ture, and, therefore, should be sown 

 early. It is always best to make 

 several sowings so that in case one 

 should fail, the other may be used. The 

 Italian Cauliflower is hardier than the 

 French and German varieties. A good 

 plan is to sow the seed in boxes elevated 

 two or three feet above the ground, as 

 it will keep the Cabbage fly off. The 

 plants should be looked over daily, and 

 all green cabbage worms and other 

 vermin removed. 



FIEIiD. — Plant Sweet Potato slips or 

 vines for early crop, dig- Irish Potatoes 

 planted early, and after well preparing 

 the ground, plant Corn, Beans, Squash, 

 etc. 



Sow Cashaw and field Pumpkins. 

 Plant Jerusalem Artichokes. 



Sow all varieties of Grass mentioned 

 for March. 



OBCHABD. — Little is to be done dur- 

 ing this month, except perhaps, if the 

 weather is favorable, budding Orange 

 trees on Trifoliata stools; keep young 

 trees clean of weeds, and during- a dry 

 spell water those which were lately 

 transplanted. 



FliOWZSB GARDEN. — Sow Balsams 

 (Lady Slippers), Gomphrenas, Torenias 

 and Amaranthus, Celosia, Vinca Rosea. 

 Plant Coleus, and other foliage plants. 

 Dahlias and Chrysanthemums, Sunflower, 

 Gladiolus and Tuberose bulbs. 



Plant all annuals described in this 

 catalogue. 



SHADE TREES. — Can be planted dur- 

 ing the early part of the month. 



Stcckler's Tobacco Dust is the 

 best insecticide Icnown. 



After T[ie Seed Arrives 



examine it, test it, or have it inspected and tested by the State Seed 

 Inspector, the State Botanist, or the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture. Then you be the judge. If their report or test is not satisfactory, 

 or if for any reason, or without "any reason, you want to return the seed to 

 us within ten days from date received, we will return your money promptly 

 without quibbling. Can any offer be fairer ? -
