Winter Radishes

.should be sown in July or August. 
A temporary pit for storing 
^vegetables can be made very eas- 
ly and economically by partially 
I jurying a wooden box in a well 
fdrained location. Cover the top 
with earth, leaving only the up- 
per part, of the front of the box 
exposed. The exposed part can 
be protected with boards or a 
door on hinges. 
Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, 
turnips, beets, salsify and winter 
radishes can he stored in this 
pit. It will keey them in good 
condition and they can be taken 
out at any time.

"The results from Bug Death Aphis last season applied dry to our garden crops were very 
pleasing, especially with tomatoes and cucumbers ; the vines continuing green and healthy a 
long time and producing wonderful yield of finest quality. Used it upon Sweet Peas also 
with remarkable success. It appeared to make them grow and blossom more profusely. 
It is so safe to use and have around even where there are small children."

Success in Succession Cropping 
* Succession cropping is one of the secrets of a successful garden. There is 
often a tendency to plant, not too much of any one vegetable, but too much of 
the same vegetable maturing at the same time. 
For instance, suppose there are fifty feet -to be devoted to string beans. Planted 
all at once, a gardener will have the plants come into bearing all at the same 
time. They would bear from four to six quarts a day and if the family had to 
devour all these beans it would only be a short time until they couldn't look a 
•bean in the eye. . -.• : 
The way to solve this problem would be to plant half the row one week and 
the rest of it the other. Or the row might even be divided in thirds and planted 
in three weeks. • ' 
The same scheme applies to beets, carrots, radishes, and other quick maturing 
vegetables. Grade them along, planting just enough to furnish a full meal with 
successive plantings throughout the season. "" .' v ":: ~ ;
