GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



VEGETABLE G A B D E M". — Sow as 



directed for April. Where Potatoes and 

 Onions were taken up, Corn, Melons, 

 Cucumbers, Squash and Pumpkins can 

 be planted. 



All varieties of early cabbage can be 

 sown this month. 



During- the hot weather Lettuce 

 requires a good deal of water, as it will, 

 if neglected, soon become hard and taste- 

 less. In fact, it is combined with a good 

 deal of labor to raise good Lettuce dur- 

 ing the summer months. Improved 

 Royal Cabbage, Hubbard, Perpignan, 

 Steckler's French Market, White Paris 

 Coss or Roman are the best for summer 

 use. Okra can be sown. 



Large White Solid Celery may be 

 sown now, but must be well shaded, and 

 if the weather is dry, should be regu- 

 larly watered. 



Late Italian Cauliflower can be sown. 



Lima and Pole beans can be planted, 

 the Southern Prolific, Kentucky Wonder 

 and White Creaseback are the best varie- 

 ties for late planting. 



FIEIiD. — Cow Peas and Crowders can 

 be planted, the latter is the best to be 

 used green. 



Sweet Potato slips or vines can still 

 be set out, taking advantage of an occa- 

 sional rain; but if it does not rain they 

 must be watered. As the tops of Shal- 

 lots get dry, which indicates their being 

 ripe, they are fit to be taken up and 

 stored away in a dry. airy place, taking 

 care not to lay them too thick, as they 

 are liable to heat. 



Grass and Field Seeds, Sorghum, Field 

 and Cow Peas, Soja and "Velvet Beans, 

 Millet. Millo Maize. Field and Broom 

 Corn can also be planted. 



OBCHABD. — Besides Budding nothing 

 can be done.

 tions given for last month.

SEEDS BY PARCEL POST 



Your postmaster will tell you the parcel post zone in which 

 your postoffice is located, measuring from New Orleans. 



In most instances, Parcel Post Shipments are more desirable even if the cost 

 is slig'htly hig'her than express shipments, because the package is usually delivered 

 to your box, whereas it is sometimes necessary to drive several miles to the town 

 to get an express package. 



All of Our Cabbage Seed is High Bred and Fully Tested.
