For planting among corn the Connecticut Field Pump¬ 
kin is the best variety. 
The Possum Nose Pumpkin, or Squash, proves to be a 
decided acquisition. It yields largely, is of excellent qual¬ 
ity, and will keep the year round. In more southern lati¬ 
tudes it is grown with success among the corn; Put here 
we plant it alone in hills 10 or 12 feet apart, dropping eight 
or ten seeds in a hill, and thin out the plants to four of the 
strongest in the hill. . 
Use hellebore the moment the plants are out of the 
ground, to keep off the striped bug, and when the plants 
get stronger sprinkle them with water containing a tea 
spoonful of Paris Green to two gallons of water, and re 
peat the dose in a. week or ten days.

Those who have difficulty in 
raising good radishes should try 
a dressing of superphosphate, 
sown broadcast at the rate of 
three or four pounds to the 
square rod. A warm, sandy soil 
that has been well manured for 
previous crops, or has been in 
sod is best. Sow in rows 12 
inches apart, dropping two seeds to each inch of row, 
and cover not more than half an inch deep. Hoe fre¬ 
quently between the rows and thin out the plants to two 
or three inches apart in the rows. 
Our seed is grown from selected and transplanted roots, 
and is of the very best quality 
Radishes grown in hot-beds, started in February or 
March are a profitable crop. A moderate heat only is 
needed, and free ventilation is necessary to keep the plants 
from running too much to leaf. For this purpose, the new 
variety, Early Scarlet Globe Short-top is decidedly the 
earliest, while the White Box is large and attractive, and 
probably the most profitable market sort.
