VEGETABLE GARDEN. — Sow Bush, 
Pole and Lima Beans, Sweet Corn, Cucum- 
bers, Squash, Melons and Okra, Beets, Car- 
rots, Swiss Cl.ard, Radishes, Lettuce, Mus- 
tard, Endive,.- Roquette, Cress, Parsley, 
Chervil and Celery for cutting. 
Set out Onion Sets, Chives, and Shallots. 
Sow Tomatoes, Eggplants 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 trans- 
planting. 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 mature, 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 
Caulifiower 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 vérmin removed. 
FIELD.—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.

ORCHARD.—Little is to be done during 
this month, except perhaps, if the weather 
is favorable, budding Orange trees on Tri-

weeds, and during a dry spell water those 
which were lately transplanted. 
FLOWER 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.

the early part of the month.

“Good Garden Luck”
