GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 
BOSTON 
The. Cost of 
the Very 
Best Seeds 
is so small, compared 
with value of the re- 
sulting crops, that 
sensible planters 
know they cannot af- 
ford to risk seeds of | | | 
doubtful pedigree — 
and we Enow just as 
well that we cannot 
afford to risk our 
hard-earned reputa- 
tion by selling stock 
of uncertain char- 
acter.

VEGETABLE GABDEN.— Sow beets, 
Radishes, early Cabbage, Kohlrabi, all 
varieties of Lettuce, Spinach, Mustard, 
Carrots, Swiss Chard, Leeks, Celery for 
cutting, Parsley, Roquette, Cress and 
Chervil. Towards the end of this month 
sow Endive. 
Plant all varieties of Bush and Pole 
Beans; but for Lima Beans it is better to 
wait until the end of the 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; 
the White and Red Kidney can be planted 
for shelling purposes. 
Set out Onion Sets, Chives, and Shallots. 
FIELD.—Sow Sorghum, Kaffir Corn, 
Dhouro, Milo Maize, all varieties of Millet, 
Texas Ribbon Cane, Japanese Honey Syrup 
Cane, and Teosinte for green feed. Sow 
Bermuda, Lespedeza and all varieties of 
Clover and Grass seed for hay and grazing. 
Plant Irish and Sweet Potatoes, all vari- 
eties of Field and Broom Corn. Plant Sor- 
ghum, also all varieties of Cow Peas, Can- 
ada Field Peas, Soja and Velvet Beans.
