JEWISH CALENDAR. 



February 16— Adar, (year 5654.) 

 Fast of Esther, Adar 13, Feb. 29. 



What to Plant this Month, 



IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



All winter vegetables can be sown this month, such as 

 Spinach, Mustard, Carrets, Beets, Parsnip and Leeks; 

 also the early varieties of Radishes, White Spring and 

 Early Purple Top Turnip, Swiss Chard and Kohl-rabi, 

 L,ettuce, Cabbage and Early Cauliflower maybe sown. If 

 the w eather is favorable and the month of April dry, the 

 latter will succeed well. 



Cauliflower and Cabbage plants should be transplanted. 

 Shallots divided and set out again; also sow Sorrel, 

 Roquette, Chervil, Parsley, Cress and Celery for season- 

 ing, if not sown already. 



All varieties of Peas can be planted In this month, 

 especially the early varieties. The later varieties are 

 best planted in January, but if planted in the early part 

 of February they will do well. 



Sweet Herbs should be planted, the most tender vari- 

 eties in a frame, and afterwards transplanted into the 

 open ground. 



This is the proper month to sow Asparagus seed, also 

 to plant the roots of this vegetable, if not done so previ- 

 ously. 



Hot-beds on account of the changeable weather during 

 this month, require a good deal of attention. Give air 

 when the sun shines and the weather is pleasant, other- 

 wise plants will beeouie spindly and long legged. If too 

 thick thin them out so that they may become sturdy. 



You may begin to plant Bush Beans as soon as the 

 weather permits; also Cucumbers, Squash and Melons 

 may be planted, as they often succeed if protected by 

 small boxes covered with glass, as most gardeners do 

 here ; there is no risk at all. 



At the end of this month Early Corn can be planted. 

 For market use, Adams' Extra Early and Early White 

 Flint are planted. We recommend th*- Sugar varieties 

 for family use; but as they are more tender than the 

 preceding, they should only be planted during this 

 month if the weather is extremely favorable, otherwise 

 it is better to wait until March. They are just as large 

 as the above mentioned varieties, especially Stowell's 

 Evergreen, which is as large as any grown. We con- 

 sider it the best for family use. 



IN THE FIELD. 



February is the best month to plant a general crop of 

 Potatoes, as on an average they will succeed better if 

 planted during this month than any other. 



Mangel Wurzel and Sugar Beets should be sown this 

 month for stock food. Sweet potatoes may be put in a 

 bed for sprouting, so as to have eariy slips. 



IN THE ORCHARD. 



Plant fruit trees of all kinds, especially Orange and 

 Pecan trees. Pecans may De sown during this month 

 to raise trees from. 



IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



Sow flower seed for late spring and early summer, such 

 as Zinnia, Balsams in frame, Torenia, different varieties 

 of Amaranthus, Gomphrenas, etc. 



Set out Rose bushes and ornamental Shrubs, Plant 

 Gladiolus and Tuberose bulbs, Sweet Alyssum, Candy- 

 tuft, Snapdragon, Pansy, Aster, Chinese and Japan 

 Pinks, Daisy for late blooming, Lobelia, Reseda, Bottle 

 Pink and Sweet Sultan, Phlox and Verbena may be sown 

 yet. Sow Browallia, Cosmos, Correopsis, Sunflower, 

 Sensitive Plant, Cobea Scandens, Rosa Montana, Aristo- 

 lochla Elegans, Tagetes, Salvia and Vinca. Lay in Dahlia 

 bulbs in a hot-bed for propagating. 



Steckler's Roup and Canker Cure is the Best.
