CULTIVATION FOR SETS. 



Have a clean and very 

 rich soil, which should be 

 thoroughly cultivated, or it 

 will not do well enough to 

 pay for the trouble. The 

 most successful growers 

 work their ground several 

 times in the fall to kill out 

 the weeds and get ground 

 In nice condition. Use well- 

 rotted manure freely, and 

 be sure to get the seeds in 

 as early as possible in the 

 spring, no matter if it is 

 ever so cold or unpleasant, 

 and keep the soil mellow 

 and clear of weeds, and if 

 seed is good you will have 

 a large crop of onion sets. 

 On no other condition can 

 you hope for success. Dis- 

 turb the roots of the onion 

 as little as possible, either 

 in thinning or hoeing, and 

 never hoe earth toward 

 them to cover or hill, as we 

 do most other things, 

 drills about 12 inches apart. It will re- 

 pounds to sow an acre. 



OKRA, or GUMBO 



Select warm location and rich 

 soil, and plant when the ground 

 becomes warm, in rows three 

 feet apart, thinning plants a 

 foot apart in the row. As the 

 seeds are liable to rot in cool 

 weather, they should be sown 

 thickly. The pods are used to 

 thicken soup, being gathered 

 when young. It is one of the 

 most wholesome vegetables in 

 use. 



DWARF OKRA. 



This is the preferred kind 

 with the growers; is of dwarf 

 habit and very productive.

WHITE VELVET.

 pods are perfectly round and 

 smooth, of an attractive white velvet appearance, and of 

 superior flavor and tenderness. The pods are of e.xtra large 

 size, and produced in great abundance.

NASTURTIUM

 fence, and the dwarf for beds or hanging baskets. The leaves 

 are used for salad, and the seeds, when soft enough to be 

 penetrated by the nail, for pickles.

 the fall and used in the spring as a salad. Our stock is the

PARSLEY. 



SELECT rich soil; sow the seed 

 in drills one foot apart, covering 

 half an inch deep. It would be 

 well to firm the soil with the foot after sowing the seed. As 

 the seed is usually from 15 to 25 days in germinating, it will 

 be necessary to sow early. Thin plants to 4 inches apart 

 when 2 inches high. The beauty of the plant may be increased 

 by several successive transplantings. It is used principally 

 for flavoring soups, etc., and for garnishing in its natural 

 state. 



DWARF EXTRA CURLED. — The most beautiful and valu- 

 able variety in use; handsome bright green color, finely 

 crimped, beautifully curled.

PEPPER, or CAPSICUM 



Is cultivated mainly for pickles; used as a seasoning in 

 many ways; sometimes medicinally. Sow seed early in hot- 

 bed, if possible; if not, select a warm place in the garden for 

 seed bed; sow as soon as the soil is warm. Transplant when 

 3 or 4 inches high, in rows 18 inches apart.

PARSNIP 



The Parsnip will flourish best 

 and give the longest, largest 

 and smoothest roots in a very 

 deep, rich soil — one that has 

 been made rich from manure 

 the previous year. Fresh ma- 

 nure makes the roots some- 

 what ill-shaped. Sow as early 

 in the spring as the ground 

 can be made ready, pretty 

 thickly in drills from 12 to 18 

 inches apart, and about an inch 

 deep. Thin the plants to five 

 or six inches apart. 



Hollow Crown 

 or Sugar 



The Hollow Crown is supe- 

 rior in quality to all other va- 

 rieties, and the preferred kind 

 with Baltimore gardeners. The 

 roots are smooth, tender, hand- 

 some shape and early. "We 

 have the finest stock of Hol- 

 low Crown Parsnips that we 

 know of in this country.

 Pepper grown. It is very 

 productive, having a mag- 

 nificent appearance, whicii 

 makes it sell readily.
