PLANTING DIRECTIONS— 
FOR MARCH 
Vegetable Garden. — Sow 
Beets, Radishes, Early Cab¬ 
bage, Kohlrabi, all varieties 
of Turnips, Kale, Lettuce, 
Spinach, Mustard, Carrots, 
Swiss Chard, Leeks, Celery 
for cutting, Parsley, Cress, 
Herbs and Celery. 
Plant all varieties of Bush 
and Pole Beans, but for Lima 
Beans it is better to wait 
until the end of the month, 
as they rot easily when the 
ground is not warm enough 
or too wet. 
Squash, Cucumbers, Melons 
and Okra can be planted. The 
remarks in regard to Lima 
Beans hold good also for 
Okra. Early varieties of Peas 
can still be planted. Set out 
Tomatoes, Peppers and Egg¬ 
plants in the open ground 
and sow seed for later crop. 
Plant Sweet Corn. 
Beans are hard to keep in 
this climate; the Lima, Pinto 
and Pink Frejole can be 
planted for shelling purposes. 
Set out Onion plants, Chives, 
and Shallots. 
Field.—Sow Sorghum, Kaf¬ 
fir Corn, Milo Maize, Feteria, 
Egyptian Wheat, all varieties 
of Millet, Texas Ribbon Cane 
and Teosinte for green feed. 
Sow Bermuda, English Rye 
and all varieties of Clover 
and Grass seed for hay and 
grazing. 
Plant Irish and Sweet Po¬ 
tatoes, all varieties of Field 
and Broom Corn. Plant Sorg¬ 
hum, also all varieties of Cow 
Peas, Field Peas, Soya and 
Velvet Beans. Plant Jerusa¬ 
lem Artichokes. 
Orchard.—Fruit trees may 
be planted the early part of 
this month, or later on when 
the season is somewhat re¬ 
tarded. 
Flower Garden.—Sow Bal¬ 
sams (Lady Slippers), Zin¬ 
nia, Amaranthus, Dahlia, 
Cockscomb, Cosmos, Portu- 
laca, Nasturtiums, and Sun¬ 
flower. Set out Chrysanthe¬ 
mums for Fall blooming. 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS— 
FOR APRIL 
Vegetable Garden. — Sow 
Bush, Pole and Lima Beans, 
Sweet Corn, Cucumbers, Car¬ 
rots, Squash, Melons, Okra, 
Beets, Swiss Chard, Lettuce, 
Radishes, Mustard, Endive, 
Cress, Parsley, Herbs, and 
Celery for cutting. 
Set out Chives and Shal¬ 
lots. 
Sow Tomatoes, Eggplants 
and Peppers. 
Early Cabbages may be 
successfully sown. Kohlrabi 
can be sown, but it is best to 
sow thinly in drills a foot 
apart, and thin out to four 
inches in the rows, instead of 
transplanting. Towards the 
end of this month a sowing 
of the late Cauliflower can be 
made. A good plan is to sow 
seed in boxes elevated two 
or three feet above the 
ground, as it will keep the 
cabbage fly off. The plants 
should be looked over daily 
and all green cabbage worms 
and other vermin removed. 
Field.-—Dig Irish Potatoes 
planted early, and after well 
preparing the ground, plant 
Corn, Beans, Squash, Pinto 
Beans, etc., 
Sow Cushaw, and field 
Pumpkins. 
Sow all varieties of Grass 
mentioned for March, espe¬ 
cially Rhodes Grass. 
Orchard.—Littis is to be 
done during this month, ex¬ 
cept perhaps, if the weather 
is favorable, budding Orange 
trees on Trifoliata or Sour 
stocks; keep young trees 
cleans of weeds, and during 
a dry spell water those which 
were lately transplanted. 
Flower Garden.—Sow Zin¬ 
nias, Balsams (Lady Slip¬ 
pers), Gomphrenas, Amaran¬ 
thus, Celosia, Vinca and Nas¬ 
turtiums. Plant Coleus and 
other foliage plants, Dahlias, 
Chrysanthemums, Sunflower. 
Gladiolas, and Tuberose 
bulbs. 
Plant all annuals described.
