*For early crops start in hotbeds or coldframes February, March or April, according 

 to location and season. Bean seeds should not be planted before April. 



NOTE. — Planting dates are given for the latitude of New York. Farther South the 

 sowings should be made earlier in the year, and farther North correspondingly later as soil 

 becomes warm and weather settled. Over a great area of the United States owing to weather 

 conditions, sowings that were made one year on April 1 it might not be possible to make until 

 May 1 the next year in the same section, owing to backward season, or again the reverse may 

 take place. The lesson is obvious: the gardener must stand ready to plant his seed or set out 

 his young plants the moment the opportunity offers.
