VEGETABLE GABDEN.—Sow as direct- 
ed for April. Where Potatoes and Onions 
were taken up, Corn, Melons, Cucumbers, 
Squash and Pumpkins can be planted. 
All varieties of early cabbage can 
sown this month. 
During the hot weather Lettuce requires 
a good deal of water, as it will, if neglect- 
ed, soon become hard and _ tasteless. In 
fact, it is combined with a good deal 
of labor to raise good Lettuce during 
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 regularly 
watered. 
Late Italian Caulifiower 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. 
FPIELD.—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 occasional 
rain; but if it does not rain they must be 
watered. As the tops of Shallots get dry, 
which indicates their being ripe, they are 
fit to be taken up and stored away in a 
be 
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, Mil- 
let, Milo Maize, Field and Broom Corn can 
also be planted. 
ORCHARD.—Besides Budding nothing 
ean be done. 
FLOWER GABDEN.—Follow instruc- 
tions given for last month.

Thousands of seed planters think 
that a 10 to 50 cent seed order is too 
small to send. It’s not. We are 
glad to have your order, no matter 
how small, and the better results in 
your garden make it worth while for 
you to send to us. Remember, there 
is no order small or large that is not 
welcome at STECKLER’S. 
All of Our Cabbage Seed is High Bred and Fully Tested.
