GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES.

VEGETABIiE G- A B D E IT. — 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 roasting ears. 



Cucumbers can be planted for pickling. 

 Endive. Lettuce, all Radishes, as well as 

 all Cauliflower mentioned for June 

 planting-. 



In new ground some Turnips and Ruta 

 Bagas can be sown. 



Plant all varieties of Cabbage men- 

 tioned in catalogue. Some seasons we 

 have early frosts, other seasons not 

 before January, and Cabbage is most 

 easilv hurt by frost when heading up. 

 When the plants are headed up, they are 

 not so much affected by cold weather. 

 It is, therefore, necessarj- 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 is 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 Cabbage requires a strong, good 

 soil, but the Brunswick and Flat Dutch 

 in particular. 



The ground shauld be well fertilized 

 with either stable manure, cotton seed 

 meal or superphosphate, but we consider 

 Cow Peas and Velvet Beans planted on 

 the Cabbage land and plowed under the 

 best and cheapest fertilizer. 



A large quantity of seed must be sown 

 at this time of the year, as it is some- 

 times 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 beneflicial; also 

 Tobacco stems cut fine and scattered 

 over the ground, will keep them off to 

 some extent. Corona is also very good 

 for this purpose. 



FIEIiD. — Field Corn, Cow and Canada 

 Peas. Feterita, Egyptian ^Wheat and 

 Sorghum can be planted. 



In the Orchard and Flower Garden 

 nothing can be done during this month.
