situation, and plant a portion where it can be protected from severe weather by a frame, thatched 

 hurdles, or any other means. Transplanting improves the quality, causing the leaves to be more 

 curled, but if considered too troublesome, sow in lines twelve inches apart, and thin out. Keep the 

 surface of the ground open and free from weeds; and an occasional sprinkling of guano, or soot, 

 between the lines, with a liberal soaking of water during droughty, weather will improve the 

 summer crop.

SUNFLOWER. 



Besides being highly ornamental, for game preserves the Sunflower is invaluable ; it yields a vast 

 quantity of seed, of which Pheasants are particularly fond. It is also one of the most profitable 

 things for feeding fowls ; grows freely, and produces immense crops on deep rich soil. Sow in 

 March, April, or Mav.

INDIAN CORN, MAIZE, OR ZEA. 



Preparation of the Soil — Select a warm sheltered situation, and trench deeply, adding a 

 liberal dressing of well rotted manure. 



Time and Manner of Sowing.— Sow in pots in April, or in the open ground in May, but, 

 except in very favourable localities, the plants succeed best if raised under glass and planted out 

 when the weather becomes warm and settled. If raised in pots be careful to keep the plants strong 

 and stocky, hardening them by giving air freely on fine days. 



After Management.— Wlicii planted out, water when necessary, till the roots have got hold 

 of the fresh soil, ami also in dry hot weather. Keep the surface of the ground free from weeds, and 

 in an open state by frc(|ui_ iit huciiigs. The ears, if cut when green and young, will be found delicious 

 if cooked and served up as asparagus.
