JEWI8H CALENDAR. 



March 17— Nisan, (year 5664.) 



First of Passover, Nisan 15, March 81. 



What to Plant this Month. 



LN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



Sow Beets, Radishes and early varieties of Cabbage, 

 Kohlrabi, Lettuce, Spinach, Mustard, Carrots, Swiss 

 Chard and Leek; also Celery for cutting, Parsley, lio- 

 quette, Cress and Chervil. Towards the end of this 

 month sow Endive. 



Sow the Royal Cabbage Lettuce; also Drumhead and 

 Perpignan. The White Paris Cross is a favorite variety 

 for spring ; the Butterhead will run into seed too quickly, 

 and should not be sown later than the middle of February 

 in this latitude. 



Plant now all varieties of Bash and Pole Beans; but 

 for Lima Beans it is better to wait until the end of this 

 month, as they rot easily when the ground is not warm 

 enough or too wet. 



Squash, Cucumbers, Melons and Okra can be planted. 

 The remark in regard to Lima Beans holds good also for 

 Okra. Early varieties of Peas may still be planted; set 

 out Tomatoes, Eggplants and Peppers in the open ground 

 and sow seed for later crop. Plant Sweet Corn. 



Beans are hard to keep in this climate, and therefore 

 hardly any are planted at this time of the year for shell- 

 ing purposes. 



IN THE FIELD. 



At the end of this month sow Sorghum, Kaffir Corn and 

 Millo Maize for stock food, also Teosinte. Sow Lespedeza 

 at the beginning of this month. 



Potatoes may still be planted, but all depends upon the 

 season. Some years they do as well as those planted 

 during the previous month. In fact we have seen the 

 finest crop raised from Potatoes which had been planted 

 on the 15th of this month. Sweet Potatoes can be planted 

 yet. 



IN THE ORCHARD. 



Fruit trees may be planted the early part of this month, 

 or even later if the season is somewhat retarded. 



IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



Sow Balsam, Zinnia, Amaranthus, Torenia, Dahlia, 

 Cockscomb, Cosmos, Portulacca, Browallia and Sun- 

 flower. Plant Gladiolus, Tuberoses and Dahlia bulbs. 

 Set out Chrysanthemums for fall blooming. 



Our Japanese Soluble Insecticide has never been found Wanting 1 .
