Notes from a Maryland Garden 
What Can Be Done in June 
RURAL NEW-YORKER 
773 
Asparagus cutting shoulrt stop by the 
middle of June, in the ^Middle States, and 
the crop should be heavily fertilized and 
cultivated clean, so as to make a strong 
growth to furnish strong crowns for the 
next season’s shoots. 
Plant a row or two of string beans as 
fast as the last ones planted are well up. 
The bush Lima beaus may still be plant¬ 
ed early in the mouth and the Fordhook 
is the best. The early planted ones of 
these failed here from wet and cold. 
By the middle of the month the late 
blood beets and carrots of the Half Long 
Danvers may be planted, and from South¬ 
ern Maryland sow seed of parsnips and 
salsify, and they will do better than sown 
early as is the practice north, (low peas 
should be sown now and seldom earlier 
except in the South. The Black Eye 
peas are a valuable table vegetable. 
Cauliflowers that fail to head by the 
middle of the montli would as well be 
cleaned out and given to the chickens to 
pick. Plant succession crops of sugar 
corn. Stowell’s Evergreen is as good as 
any. The last of the month sow seed of 
the Large White French or Rock turnip. 
This is a white turnip of the rutabaga 
class, and is one of the very best though 
almost gone out of use. The American 
Purple-top rutabaga can also be sown, 
though here we usually sow these in July. 
The late crop of Irish potatoes can be 
planted. For these I make deep furrows 
to get them down in moist soil, cover 
lightly at first, and then work the soil to 
them as they grow till level and then cul¬ 
tivate level and shallow to conserve 
moisture, and do not hill up as we do 
early potatoes. The best wax bean to 
plant now is the (kdestial. This bean 
simply keeps growing and making new 
crops of pods. 
A five-foot width of chicken wire net¬ 
ting stretched to st.akes and a foot above 
the ground, makes a far better supi)ort 
for Lima beans than poles. The beans 
can be planted 15 inches apart, and will 
make a mass over the entire trellis, and 
make a far more neat appearance in the 
garden than a lot of poles. 
Sow seed of a good strain of Tiate Flat 
Dutch cabbage to make heads for win¬ 
tering. Plants of the Copenhagen Mar¬ 
ket cabbage set now will make nice eaidy 
l'’all cabbages. 
Lift the tulips, hyacinths and Narcissus 
bulbs as soon as the foliage is evidently 
mature, but not entirely dead. I trim 
top and roots of the hyacinths, and put 
them in heaps and cover with dry sand 
under cover for a week or more to cure 
well, and then store in paper sacks with 
label in each. Tulips and Narcissus 
bulbs are merely trimmed and dried. 
Instead of following the practice of 
the florists, who turn the calla lily pots 
on their side to dry off, I knock them out, 
and plant them in a corner of the garden 
and let them take chance.s of the w^eather. 
Tliey will usually gradually ripen their 
tops in the hot dry weather of .Inly and 
can then be taken up and cleaned and 
k(‘pt for repotting in September. 
If you have the plants or can get them 
the China asters can follow in the bulb 
beds, the late tall-bi’anching sorts are best 
for this, and will make a fine succession 
to those set out earlier. 
The backyard gardeners are furnishing 
a good deal of fun to us old salts, and if 
they gain nothing else they will gain 
some experience after wasting a lot of 
seed. The Baltimore Bun, with promi¬ 
nent headlines, announced that Dr. (iuth, 
president of the Coueher Woman’s (’ol- 
lege, had returned from Chicago, after 
succeeding in getting 24 onion .sets for 
the college garden. A seedsman reports 
that he sold a great many Irish potatoes 
in quarts to a buyer. Writing this the 
middle of May we note on the thousands 
of acres here devoted to cantaloupes and 
cucumbers, so far as I can learn, there is 
not a plant. Some did succeed in get¬ 
ting the plants up, but the cold winds 
thrashed and killed them. Right along- 
sid'' rf me is a field intended for canta- 
loi which has been replanted three 
tunes, and yet no plants, and the same is 
true of my garden. But I shall plant 
again till I do get them, even if late.

Chandler Price 
Must Advance 
$200 June 30 
The price of the Chandler Six becomes $1595 on the first day of July. 
The present model, identically the same car, will be continued after 
that date. UNTIL THAT DATE THE PRICE REMAINS $1395. 
It Has always been a basic 
part of Cbandler policy 
to Keep tbe Cbandler 
price low 
We have kept it low. Men considered 
the original Chandler price of $1785 
established four years ago an impos¬ 
sible price. Later when the Chandler 
Company reduced that price to $1595 
the trade thought we were courting 
disaster. Further reductions came as 
a positive shock to the industry. Mean¬ 
while the Chandler business grew to 
front-rank proportions. 
The Chandler car was never cheap¬ 
ened, but, rather, improved and refined 
from season to season until the whole 
motor car purchasing public has come 
to recognize that the Chandler car is 
a car of surpassing values. 
We Have sold tbe Cband¬ 
ler for bondreds of dol¬ 
lars less tban cars of 
similar Quality 
Now, however, the Chandler price 
must be advanced. 
It must be materially advanced to 
cover greatly increased costs which 
have arisen this Spring by reason of 
unprecedented conditions in the ma¬ 
terial supply and labor markets and 
in problems of transportation. 
This is a condition which we cannot 
control. It is a condition which we 
must meet. 
At $1595 the Chandler car will still 
be under-priced. By test of any con¬ 
ceivable comparison this statement is 
a provable fact. 
Now you can buy this great Six at 
$1395 f. o. b. Cleveland. 
While the $1395 price holds, the demand will continue to greatly 
exceed our production, and we cannot guarantee deliveries.
