Notes  from  a  Maryland  Garden 
Succession  Crops. — In  my  garden 
management  T  have  found  little  advan¬ 
tage  in  mixed  tows.  I  plant  everything 
as  close  as  the  variety  demands,  and 
follow  early  crops  with  later  ones.  I 
sow  a  few  radish  seed  to  mark  rows  of 
things  that  germinate  more  slowly,  like 
beets,  etc.,  but  I  prefer  to  have  most 
things  in  their  own  place  and  no  compe¬ 
tition.  I  do  sow  rows  of  string  beaus 
of  a  succession  crop  between  the  rows  of 
early  sugar  corn  which  will  come  out  be¬ 
fore  the  beans  need  the  full  sun.  But  a 
close  succession  is  kept  up  all  the  year 
round.  Where  spinach  was  sown  a  year 
ago,  and  cleaned  up  in  the  Spring,  I 
planted  Gladiolus  corms.  Now  these  are 
lifted  and  the  ground  has  been  planted 
in  strawberries.  I  grow  bulbs  in  the 
garden,  not  only  the  edible  ones,  but  the 
flowering  ones  for  the  bulbs.  The  ground 
that  gave  the  early  crop  of  tomatoes  is 
now  planted  to  onion  sets  and  Narcissus 
bulbs  side  by  side. 
Intf.r-planting. — Between  late  sugar 
corn  turnips  are  growing,  and  between 
the  early  cabbages  is  the  best  place  to  set 
the  horseradish  root  cuttings  to  occupy 
the  ground  till  frost  There  is  little 
space  left  in  my  garden  in  the  late  Fall, 
for  the  late  beets,  carrots,  parsnips  and 
salsify  stay  right  where  they  grew  till 
used,  and  the  leeks  of  course  remain  till 
used.  Then  most  vacant  space  is  sown 
to  spinach  or  planted  iu  ouion  sets  or 
Fall-flowering  bulbs.  I  do  not  hesitate 
to  mix  in  the  blooming  plants  along  with 
the  kitchen  vegetables.  In  fact  I  think 
these  things  rather  improve  the  appear¬ 
ance  of  the  garden,  and  certain  sections 
are  lined  off  with  perennial  I’lilox  and 
peonies,  while  I  am  old-fashioned  enough 
to  have  gooseberry  and  currant  bushes 
along  the  walks. 
Trellis  And  Fence. — The  woven  wire 
fence  carries  my  Lima  beans,  and  saves 
a  great  deal  of  space  and  unsightly  poles, 
and  on  another  part  of  the  fence  I  get 
my  Champion  of  England  peas  and  set 
Dahlias  in  front  of  them,  so  that  when  the 
peas  are  over  and  the  dead  vines  pulled 
off,  the  Dahlias  grow  up  and  form  the 
background  next  the  fence.  Then  a  line 
of  fence  next  the  street  is  covered  with 
hyacinth  beans  that  make  a  long  contin¬ 
ued  and  fine  show  of  bloom.  These  and 
the  Lima  beans  make  a  Summer  green 
hedge  of  the  fence,  and  as  the  posts  are 
steel  set  in  concrete  there  is  nothing  un¬ 
sightly  showing. 
Overhead  Irrigation. — A  correspond¬ 
ent  asks  how  I  like  the  Skinner  irriga¬ 
tion  system.  As  yet  I  have  only  a  small 
portion  of  the  garden  under  it.  I  have  a 
line  50  feet  long,  which  waters  well  25 
feet  or  more  each  way,  or  2,500  square 
feet  of  surface.  It  has  not  been  of  as 
much  use  this  past  Summer  as  it  will  be 
iu  a  different  season,  for  the  Tains  have 
been  frequent  and  ahnudant  most  of  the 
time.  T  find  it  especially  useful  in  traus- 
plauting  plants,  as  I  can  give  them  a 
shower  and  settle  the  soil  about  them  and 
make  their  success  usually  certain.  I  in¬ 
tend  another  season  to  extend  the  line 
over  the  whole  garden.  One  use  for  the 
pipe  in  Spring  will  lie  to  ward  off  frosts 
after  corn  and  other  tender  things  are  up. 
for  I  can  keep  a  shower  going  and  take 
up  the  frost  so  that  no  damage  will  be 
done  to  the  plants.  The  garden  is  50 
feet  wide  and  200  feet  long,  and  the  line 
runs  down  the  centre,  and  with  the  pres¬ 
sure  I  have  the  water  can  he  throwu  be¬ 
yond  the  sides  of  the  garden.  Shooting 
upward  the  water  fails  as  a  gentle  show¬ 
er  and  does  not  pack  the  soil  as  a  hose 
does. 
Bulh  Planting. — The  Full  planting 
of  bulbs  has  been  completed  with  the  ex¬ 
ception  of  the  Romau  hyacinths  and  Pa¬ 
per  White  Narcissus.  These  are  con¬ 
sidered  tender,  but  if  they  are.  not  plant¬ 
ed  till  the  soil  is  cold,  they  will  stand 
our  Winters  all  right. 
Other  Fall  Work. — The  frames  are 
planted  with  lettuce,  but  the  glass  will 
uot  he  used  till  the  nights  grow  frosty, 
which  rarely  happens  here  till  after  the 
middle  of  October.  Last  year  our  first 
killing  frost  was  October  29th.  Some 
of  our  growers  are  plantiug  a  variety 
called  Wayahead.  I  am  still  using  Big 
Boston.  The  onion  sets  ore  shooting 
above  ground,  and  the  next  tiling  will  be 
the  planting  of  the  sweet  peas.  We  get 
an  earlier  and  better  bloom  from  Fall 
planting.  w.  V.  il ASSET.

SOMETIMES  Americans  wonder  why  they 
get  only  about  half  the  crop  yields  from  an 
acre  that  are  produced  in  other  countries.  Well, 
here’s  one  reason — -a  large  majority  of  the  farmers  in 
this  country  own  no  manure  spreader.  One  corn  belt  state  lost 
$20,000,000  last  year  by  the  wasting  and  poor  handling  of 
manure.  Are  you  one  of  the  farmers  who  shared  in  this  loss? 
If  you  are,  you  need  an  I H  C  manure  spreader. 
International  Harvester  spreaders,  Low  Corn  King  and  Low 
Cloverleaf  —  besides  being  low,  strong,  durable,  simple  iu  beater 
and  apron  mechanism,  wnh  good  traction,  light  draft,  and  plenty 
of  clearance  —  have  a  really  successful  wide-spreading  device. 
Low  Corn  King  and  Low  Cloverleaf  spreaders  are  low  for  easy 
loading  and  narrow  for  easy  handling  iu  yard,  stable  or  field. 
From  a  box  45  inches  wide  either  of  these  spreaders  covers  an 
even  strip  of  ground  8  feet  wide,  or  better.  It  saves  time  and 
labor,  and  keeps  wheels  and  horses  well  away  from  the  slippery 
manure  already  spread.

made  to  stand  by  you  for  years.  Write  us  for  catalogue.
