VEGETABLE GABDEN.— During 
month continue to sow all varieties of win- 
ter vegetables as during the previous 
month. 
All varieties of Cabbage can be sown this 
month and they will make fine heads in the 
spring. Artichokes should be set out. 
Sow Black-Eyed Marrowfat and other 
late varieties of Peas; they are not easily 
affected by frost as long as they are small, 
and during this time of the year they will 
not grow very fast. English Windsor 
Beans can still be planted; they are 
hardy enough not to be hurt by frost. 
Hot-beds should be gotten ready now for 
Cucumbers, manure for same _ should be 
looked after, it ought not to be over one 
month old. Set out Strawberry plants. 
Set out Shallots, Chives, Onion Sets and 
Artichokes. 
FIELD.—Continue to sow all varieties 
of Grasses, Field and Clover Seed as direct- 
ed for September and October. 
ORCHARD.—Prepare your land to set 
out fruit trees, transplant those which are 
dormant. 
FLOWER GARDEN.—Sow Flower seeds 
of all kinds in boxes and transplant when 
large enough into open ground, such as 
Pansy, Daisy, Phlox, Petunia, Chinese and 
other Pinks, Alyssum, Candytuft, Lark- 
spur, Lobelia and Poppy. 
Set out roses and other hardy plants. 
this 
Plant Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Jon- 
quils, Anemones and Ranunculus in open 
ground or flower pots for forcing. 
To force Hyacinths and other bulbous 
rooted plants in flower pots, use light but 
rich soil, plant in 5-inch pots, so that the 
top of the bulbs are covered half an inch. 
Give one good watering and bury the 
pots 6 inches under the ground, until the 
bulbs are well rooted, which takes from 4 
to 5 weeks. When well rooted take the 
pots out of the ground and gradually 
expose to the light, when they will soon 
put out and bloom well. Plant English 
Rye Grass for your winter lawn. 
Steckler’s Seed 
teckier Ss Seeds 
have been favorably known for 
nearly a half century. Year after 
year the same gardeners have bought 
from us. Our reputation has been 
built on furnishing “Seeds that 
Grow.”
