Are “Seed Time” and “Harvest” becoming 
synonymous terms ? Taking the whole country 
together they pretty nearly cover the whole sea¬ 
son simultaneously. At the present writing 
(May 15th,) corn planting in this vicinity has 
barely commenced, yet we read that on April 
29tb, a shipment of new wheat arrived in St. 
Loui*, from Johnson County, Arkansas, and sold 
for $4 50 per bushel, which is said to be the high¬ 
est price ever paid there. New wheat harvested 
in Georgia, April 17th and threshed April 21st 
arrived in New York on May 2nd. 
A new YORK paper says that in January and 
February last $21,505 worth of Euro}>ean cab¬ 
bage were landed at that port, on which the ad- 
valorem duty of ten per cent amounted to 
$2156 50. In the same time sauer-kraut to the 
value oi $61,593 was also imported. Still many 
Americans who have good markets within easy 
driving distance of their homes think they can¬ 
not make it pay to grow cabbage. It strikes us 
that taking present prices and demand into con¬ 
sideration few erops will pay better. 
A novel plan for setting celery and cabbage 
plauts which has several desirable points to rec- 
ommtud it, is to place them between the rows of 
your potatoes or sweet corn after the last hoeing. 
The growing corn or potatoes will afi >rd a partial 
shade which is ve^y desirable at the time of set¬ 
ting tbe young planls and until they get fully 
established, and jet jipen and can bt removed in 
time for them ro occupy the ground as a second 
crop. Two crops on one piece of ground with 
ten dollar’s worth of labor and manure will 
afford nmre i r< fit than o; e crop on which fivt- 
dolldfs bre exprt de 1. 
A. correspondent says he knows that a lit¬ 
tle sulphur sprinkhd on cucumber and radon 
vines will project them from striped bug*. If he 
knows it, it surc’y, must be true. Try it. 
A. J Downing, who was one of the best hor¬ 
ticulturists America has ever known, said, “If I 
were to preach a sermon on horticulture I should 
take as my text ‘Stir the Soil,’ Frequent and 
deep stirring will enable one to grow fine vege 
tables on comparatively poor and slightly man¬ 
ured soil, while without it one fails to gain the 
proper advantage, even from the richest and fin¬ 
est soils.” 
An error occurred in the advertisement of 
Mr. G. L. Fancher, in our April number, 
which caused us much annoyance and him 
much trouble. See the corrected advertise¬ 
ment on page 19 of this issue.
