THE MONEY SAVING CROPS 



are just about as important as any. Be sure 

 and make plenty of grain and forage in 1 9 1 6. 



VI:GM:tABZ.I: GABDEIT. — The sowing^ 

 during- this month is similar to the pre- 

 ceding-. The growing- crops -will require 

 much attention as weeds g-row fast at 

 this time. 



Corn may be planted for the last sup- 

 ply of roasting ears, also Water and 

 Musk Melons. Cucumbers, Okra, Squash 

 and Pumpkins planted during this month 

 generally do well, but if the weather is 

 hot and dry, they require an abundance 

 of water. 



Southern Prolific, Early Golden Clus- 

 ter Wax, Kentucky Wonder and White 

 Wax, Kentucky Wonder and White 

 Creaseback Pole Beans are the best to 

 plant this month, as they stand more 

 heat than other varieties. Continue to 

 set out Sweet Potato slips or vines. 



Sow all kinds of Radishes, Endive, 

 also Royal and Perpignan Lettuce. 

 Before sowing- soak the seeds for two 

 hours in water, take them out, put in a 

 piece of cloth and set in a cool damp 

 place, or if convenient in an ice box, 

 which is best. Keep the cloth moist, and 

 in four to six days the seeds will 

 sprout. Then sow them. It is best to 

 do so in the evening-, and give a good 

 watering. 



If the seeds are sown without being 

 sprouted, ants will be likely to carry 

 them away before they can germinate, 

 and the seedsman be blamed for selling 

 seeds that did not grow. This sprouting 

 has to be done from May to September, 

 or, if the weather is warm and dry in 

 the latter month, up to the middle of 

 October. 



Should the weather be moist and cool 

 in the fall it can be dispensed with. 



Cabbage for winter crops can be sown 

 in this month, as the plants are gen- 

 erally easier raised during this than the 

 following months. 



Late Italian Giant Cauliflower may still 

 be sown at the early part of this month; 

 towards the end Half Early Paris, 

 Extra Early Paris, Early Dwarf Erfurt, 

 Henderson's Snowball and Early Italian 

 Giant can be sown. Some cultivators 

 transplant them, when large enough, at 

 once from the seed bed into the open 

 ground, others plant them first in dirt 

 bands and transplant into the ground 

 later. However, if transplanted at this 

 time of the year they will have to be 

 shaded for a few days and watered until 

 they have taken a g-ood hold. 



Sow Tomatoes for late crop towards 

 the end of this month. ^. ,^ 



PIEIiD. — Cow Peas, Canada Field 

 Peas, Soja and Velvet Beans, Feterita, 

 Eg-yptian Wheat, Sorghum and all 

 varieties of Field Corn can still be sown. 

 Plant Sweet Potato slips or vines for a 

 late crop. 



OBCHABD. — Nothing can be done. 



FLOWER GARDEN. — Follow instruc- 

 tions g-iven for April. 



A GOOD FALL GARDEN IS A HELPER. 



It helps a lot keeping down your store bills and gives a variety 

 on your table. Too many have the idea that a fall garden should be 

 limited to a turnip and collard patch. That turnip patch is a mighty 

 good thing, but there are plenty of other vegetables as well — Beets, 

 Beans, Cabbage, Lettuce, Radishes, Squash, Onions, Spinach, Kale, 

 etc., all coming in and adding variety to your table, health to your- 

 self and family. Don't forget to plant a good fall garden.
