DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING IN MAY 
VEGETABLE GARDEN. — Sow as directed for 
April. Where Potatoes and Onions were taken up, 
Corn, Melons, Cucumbers, Squash and Pumpkins 
can be planted. All varieties of Early Cabbage 
can be sown this month. During the hot weather, 
Lettuce requires a good deal of water, as it will, 
if neglected, soon become hard and tasteless. In 
fact, it is combined with a deal of labor to raise 
good Lettuce during the summer months. Okra 
can be sown. 
Large, white, solid Celery may be sown now, 
but must be well shaded, and if the weather is 
dry, should be regularly watered. 
Lima and Pole Beans can be planted, the 
Stringless Green Pod, Kentucky Wonder, Long¬ 
fellow and White Creaseback are the best varie¬ 
ties for late planting. Plant Pink and Pinto Fri- 
jole Beans and Tepary for shelling. 
FIELD.—Cow Peas, Whippoorwill, Crowder or 
Cream, can be planted, the latter is the best to be 
used green. Plant Blackeyed Peas. 
Sweet Potato slips or vines can still be set out, 
taking advantage of an occasional rain; but if it 
does not rain they must be watered. As the tops 
or Shallots get dry, which indicates their being 
ripe, they are fit to be taken up and stored away 
in a dry, airy place, taking care not to lap them 
too thick, as they are liable to heat. 
Grass and Field seeds, Sorghum, Field and 
Cow Peas, Soja and Velvet Beans, Millet, Milo 
Maize, Feterita, Egyptian Wheat, Field and 
Broom Corn can also be planted. 
ORCHARD.—Besides budding, nothing can be 
done. 
FLOWER GARDEN. — Follow instructions 
given for last month.

DIRECTION FOR PLANTING IN JUNE 
seeds for two hours in water, take them out, put in a 
piece of cloth and set in a cool, damp place, or if con- 
venient, in an an ice box, which is best. Keep the cloth 
moist, and in four to six days the seed will sprout. Then 
sow them. It is best to do so in the evening, and give a 
good watering. 
If Lettuce seed is sown without being sprouted, ants 
will be likely to carry them away before they can germi¬ 
nate, and the seedsman blamed for selling seeds that did 
not grow. This sprouting has to be done from May to 
September, or, if the weather is warm and dry in the lat¬ 
ter month, up to the middle of October. Should the weather 
be moist and cool in the fall, it can be dispensed with. 
Cabbage for winter crops can be sown in this month, as 
the plants are generally easier raised during this than the 
following months. Sow Tomatoes for late crop towards 
the end of this month. 
FIELD. — Cow Peas, Field Peas, Soya and Velvet 
Beans, Feterita, Egyptian Wheat, Sorghum and all varie¬ 
ties of Field Corn can still be sown. Plant Sweet Potato 
slips or vines for a late crop. 
ORCHARD.—Keep clean of weeds. 
FLOWER GARDEN,—Following instructions for April. 
VEGETABLE GARDEN.—The sowing during 
this month is similar to the preceeding. The 
growing crops will require much attention as 
weeds grow fast at this time. 
Corn may be planted for another supply of 
roasting ears, also Water and Mushmelons. Cu- 
cun bers, Okra, Squash and Pumpkins planted 
during this month generally do well, but if the 
weather is hot and dry, they require an abund¬ 
ance of water. 
Burger's Green Stringless, Early Golden Clus¬ 
ter Wax, Kentucky Wonder and White Crease- 
back Pole Beans are the best to plant this month, 
as they stand more heat than other varieties. 
Continue to set out Sweet Potato slips or vines. 
Sow all kinds of Radishes, Mustard, Endive, 
and Lettuce. Before sowing Lettuce, soak the

marks the next furrow—all in one operation. The whole 
combination is a wonderful time and labor saver.
