Late Sowing's in the Garden. 
Our valued correspondent, W. D. Boyn¬ 
ton, contributes the following seasonable 
8u ggestions to the Practical Farmer : 
To make the garden truly valuable, we 
must look well to the late sowings. How 
ever desirable it may be to have early veg¬ 
etables, we should never be satisfied with 
that alone. I have noticed that farmers, 
especially, make their gardens all at one 
time—that is, sow everything as toon as 
the ground is in good condition, regardless 
of the nature and demands of the varieties 
sown. The early varieties, such as peas, 
radishes, lettuce, &c., should be sown just 
as soon as the ground is in good condition; 
but those vegetables that are to be stored 
for winter use, should not be sown before 
the first of June. Beets, carrots and other 
roots, if sown early in the spring, will ma¬ 
ture early in the autumn, after which 
they will become fibrous and spongy. But 
if sown in the fore part of June, it will take 
all the autumn to ripen them, and they wil[ 
go to the cellar crisp and firm. 
The first sown of the early vegetables will 
soon be off the ground, and we should ar 
range for a supply to succeed them. Rad¬ 
ishes, lettuce and peas should be sown every 
ten days up to the first of July, or even a 
little later. As the season advances, and 
the long, hot days come on, vegetables 
ripen rapidly, and after maturity soon 
become tough, hence the necessity for more 
frequent sowings. The ground that is de¬ 
voted to early vegetables may be cleaned 
out, cultivated, and resown. By observing 
a little system of rotation, two crops may 
thus be grown upon the land, with less in¬ 
jury to rhe soil than would result from 
ripening a crop of weeds, such as we often 
see after the early vegetables have been 
taken from the ground. Don’t neglect the 
late sowings, for the value of the garden 
depends much upon them. 
tern and style of the Victor, which has been 
built for many years by the Newark Machine 
Company, now of Columbus. Under their 
patent The Newark Machine Company re¬ 
cently filed an interference claim for in¬ 
fringement against Howard Campbell, and 
Gaar, Scott & Co., of Richmond, Ind., 
which was latelyk decided by the United 
States Commissioner of Patents in favor of 
the Newark Machine Company. This will 
lay liable for damages to the Newark Ma¬ 
chine Campany the manufacturers and pur¬ 
chasers of machines made in imitation of 
the Victor Huller by using the Newark 
Company’s patent devices now used in its 
construction. These patents run for about 
sixteen more years. 
In Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jer¬ 
sey, where, literally, no pears have been 
grown of late years, the Kieffer is doing 
well. I know of no fruit so variable. I ate 
specimens last season finely flavored and 
delicious; again when they were weak and 
watery. This fruit needs thinning on the 
tree and careful ripening in the house. Don’t 
understand me to say that the Kieffer is 
“best of all.” But h^re it is the most profit¬ 
able for market that I know of, as this is 
not a pear country, as are portions of New 
York State. As we go further south the 
Kieffer seems to improve, and I think Mr. 
Berckmans of Georgia will give it a good 
name with him. Yes, the Kieffer will com¬ 
mand a higher price in Philadelphia than 
any other pear, and we think some people 
there know what good fruit is. Don’t im¬ 
agine I have any axe on the grindstone in 
this matter; pecuniarily the Kieffer is no 
more to me than the Bartlett or dozens of 
other varieties .—Josiah Hoopes.
