VEGETABLE GARDEN.— During this 

 month gardeners in the South are very 

 busy with sowing- and planting-. Bush 

 Beans, White, Black-eyed and Dwarf 

 Marrowfat, Alaska, Blue Beauty, Morn- 

 ing Star and Extra Early and Washing- 

 ton Peas can be planted; also all varie- 

 ties of Cabbage and Cauliflower, Broc- 

 coli, Brussels Sprouts and Kale, Parsley, 

 Roquette, Chervil, Lettuce, Endive and 

 Sorrel, but if the weather should be 

 very dry, the seeds have to be frequently 

 watered. It is best to cover Parsley 

 seed with moss or brush until it begins 

 to come up. All varieties of Radish 

 should be sown. 



Sow Swiss Chard, Mustard and Cress, 

 I all varieties of Turnip and Ruta Baga, 

 I and also Vienna Kohlrabi. 



Carrots should be sown in the latter 



i part; if the weather is favorable; but if 



I hot and dry it is useless to do much, as 



seeds cannot come up well without being 



watered. 



All varieties of Celery should be sown 

 now. 



If not too hot and dry, Beets of all 

 kinds may be planted; but it is better 

 to wait until the following month. 



Set out Shallots, Onion Sets, Lima, 

 White Navy, Red and White Kidney 

 Beans for shelling should be planted at 

 the early part of this month. 



Sow Tomatoes, Eggplants and Sweet 

 Peppers for late crop. 



If Celery plants are set out during 

 this month they require to be shaded. 



FIEIiD. — Peerless and other varieties 

 of Potatoes saved from the spring crop, 

 should be planted early this month for a 

 winter crop; the smaller Potatoes are 

 selected for that purpose and planted 

 whole. Mexican June Corn can be 

 planted in the early part of the month. 

 Sow Cow and Field Peas, Velvet and 

 Soja Beans, Millet and Sorghum. 



OBCHABD. — Nothing can be done 

 with any degree of success during this 

 month.
