VEGETABLE GABDEN.—Towards the 
end of this month plant Pole and Bush 
Beans. In the early part sow Tomatoes 
for the last crop; also some Corn for roast- 
ing ears. 
Cucumbers can be planted for pickling. 
Endive, Lettuce, all Radishes, as well as 
all Cauliflowers mentioned for June plant- 
ing. 
In new ground some Turnips and Ruta 
Bagas can be sown. 
Plant all varieties of Cabbage mentioned 
in catalogue. Some seasons we have early 
frosts, other seasons not before January, 
and Cabbage is most easily hurt by frost 
when heading up. When the plants are 
headed up, they are not so much affected 
by cold weather. It is therefore necessary 
to make two or more sowings at different 
times, so that in case some of the Cabbage 
is destroyed by frost, the other is coming 
on. As a general rule plants raised from 
seed sown in July and August give the 
best results, they are almost sure to head. 
Brunswick is the earliest of the large 
growing varieties and should be sown in 
July and August, so that it may be headed 
up when cold weather sets in. It is more 
tender than the Flat Dutch and Drumhead. 
_The same may be said in regard to the St. 
Denis and Improved Early Summer. 
All Cabbages require a strong, good soil, 
but the Brunswick and Flat Dutch in 
particular. 
The ground should be well fertilized 
with either stable manure, cotton seed 
meal or superphosphate, but we consider 
Cow Peas planted on the Cabbage land and 
plowed under the best and cheapest ferti- 
lizer. 
A large quantity of seed must be sown 
at this time of the year, as it is sometimes. 
very difficult to get a proper stand, and it 
is always better to have some plants left 
over than to be short. 
It is a very difficult matter to protect 
the young Cabbage plants from the ravages 
of the insects, which are, especially after 
a mild winter, plentiful. 
Strong Tobacco water or Tobacco dust 
has been found very beneficial; also Tobac- 
co stems cut fine and scattered over the 
ground, will keep them off to some extent. 
FIELD.—Field Corn, Cow and Canada 
Peas and Sorghum can be planted. 
In the Orchard and Flower Garden noth- 
ing can be done during this month.
