Notes from a Maryland Garden 
Tup: Frkk/k.- — Vi’o tiro ontoring the 
last wi'ck ill I'’('I)riiai-y tiiid soom to h.-ive 
bidden fai-ewoll to the cold that locked 
things nj) during the first half of the 
month, tinil now those who were iielati'd 
in getting their land preiiiired for the 
Spring crojis in .Ttimiary have their 
plows running. I’ut the freeze of early 
February will not soon he forgotten. A 
large growi'r near Norfolk wrote to me 
asking wliere he could buy 1(10.000 
frost-proof (•ahl)ag(' iilants. ’I'lie fact is 
that none of fln'in provi'd frost-jjroof 
tliis AVinter. From liore to South Faro- 
lina the plants were killed in tlie first 
freeze in Xovemhei’, eoming suddenly 
when young and tender, and the great 
freeze of tile first week in February 
cleaned them up eh'ar into Florida, so 
th:'* I do not believe now there are that 
maTiy eahliage jilants for sale in the 
whole Kouth .Vtlantie region. 
l-htui.Y lT,.v.\Ti.\r,.—We are, now hop¬ 
ing to get our early peji.s in the ground 
in a few days, and the Irish potatoes 
too. There never was a better prospi’^t 
for the growers of (sudy pofatoes in the 
South .\tl:niti(: section. ’Die ehi-ef dif¬ 
ficulty is tlie extra high price for seed 
pofatfies. 'I'liis may operate as a safety 
val\-(‘, liowever, and pre)ent too large 
planting ami too great a rush into the 
Xoi-thern markets, for tiiere will be lit¬ 
tle dilTerenee lie.tween Fhirida and the 
i np)»er South this s<>:ison, owing to the 
‘ sefli.-tek of tlie great fri'i'zc'. 
SwKKT I’oTATOKS.—Great 'piantities 
of sweet potatoes are coming out of stor- 
:tge now that tin' weather has moder¬ 
ated, aud I notice that our shipiiers are 
lining the baskets heavily with paper. 
Looking over one large lot that was be¬ 
ing iirepared, 1 was struck with the per- 
fi’ction in whieli the potatoes are coming 
out of the sturjige house. If all the 
huii.ses have kejit them eiiually well, they 
h;ive been fortiin;ite. Hut when the 
sweet iiof.itoi'S liave lieen well cured at 
a higli temiierallire wlien first stored, 
th(>re is not iisiially any difiiculty in the 
maintaining of a suflieiently higli tem- 
peratnre in cold weatlier. for they do 
best wlu'n not above 50 di'grees in the 
hon.ses. 
I’oT.vi OKS A,\i> (’ai{|!A(;k. — III tlie 
Eastern Shore Virginia eniiiities the 
planting of tin* early Irisli iiotaloes is 
being ruslied witli all the speed iiossihle, 
and with a large (piantity of the home¬ 
grown, latt; Fall erfip, there will not he 
so much dependence on tin* 3Iaine seed, 
though large ipiantities of the Maine 
seed were stored in the Fall. As the loss 
of the h'all-sowii (*arly eahhage plants 
has compelled the iirodiietion of jilants 
ill fr:imes, it seems tliat there will lie 
more th:in usual of the Charh'ston 
AV.'ikefield and tin; ('ojifiihagen Market

go Xorth later than nsnal, of 
Course. With the high ))i-ices for all 
sorts of vegetables, the Southei'n truek- 
(*rs who attack the problem with energy 
will probably re.-ip a harvest of profit. 
F.gii.y ’rrii.MPS A.\i) Hekt. —One 
grower wlio -wroti* that his lettuce eroji 
is destroyed, asks me if it will jiay to 
sow early tnrniiis and he(*ts. I liave 
never .seen a season wln*n the e.'irly 
turnips diil not pay well. .Inst ;iff('. 
the Civil AVar I sow’cd a large jiafeh of 
Slr.-ip J>e;if turnips broadcast and fer¬ 
tilized with the old Chinelia T.sland 
gnano. 'These turnips were polled and 
trimmed and barreled, .‘ind I s<dd the en¬ 
tire crop for $.‘> a hilrrel. Xow the mar¬ 
ket dem.-ind.s that they be bnnr“hed like 
beets, and still they jiay well. AVe have 
now (he Milan tiirnijis, whi<*li are earlier 
than the (diler Straji Leaf, and those 
here who liave tried th(*ni have found 
th(*ni profitable, being easily grown and
