ENDIVE. Sow at intervals for continuous” 
supply. When well started, transplant or thin to 
onefoot apart.Toblanch, tie outerleaves together 
over the center when the plant is nearly grown. 
Just before killing frosts in fall, dig the plants, 
taking plenty of soil with roots—pack closely 
together and store in dark cellar for winter use. 
HERBS. Plant in good light earth and culti- 
vate well. Sow most kinds about one inch deep 
‘ag soon as weather becomes settled. Thin plants 
to six inches apart in the row, rows 12 to 18 in. 
apart. Gather when dry and keep in a warm room 
(not too hot) preferably in air-tight receptacles. 
KALE or BORECOLE. Requires moist, 
well enriched soil. Pick leaves as wanted, or pull 
the whole plant. Leaves are best after a frost. 
KOHL RABI. Sow early as possible in 
light, rich soil. When plants are in the third 
leaf, thin to six inches apart. Plant at intervals 
of ten days for succession of bulbs until hot 
weather—after which they do not grow. Use 
while they are still young and tender, and be- 
fore the skin hardens.

OWER. Followsame methods as 
t that heads must be protected 
from sunlight to assure the desirable white curd. 
Gather and tie the tops of the leaves together 
Joosely to shut off light. Do not cramp the heads. 
CELERY: 4A well pulverized and fertilized 
seed bed is essential—with constant moisture, 
put not too wet. Cover seed with finely sifted 
goil not over 74 -inch deep. When seedlings have 
three or four leaves | 
three inches apart each way, and when 6 In. 
high (75 to 90 days old) transplant to a rich 
double rows 3 to 31% ft. apart 
with 8 in. between double rows and 4 in. to 5 in. 
between plants. For blanching use boards set on 
edge on either side of rows, close to the plants. 
Or use heavy paper strips placed on either side 
of the rows. (If soil 1s used for blanching, crops 
to be set in single rows somewhat farther apart.) 
CHINESE CABBAGE. An easily raised 
succession crop. Set out in rows which have 
been occupied by earlier vegetables. 
COLLARDS. Sow seed thickly in rich 
ground and transplant when about four inches 
high—or if plants are to remain where sown, 
wre thinly, and when the 
spread the seed me 
ts are well started, space them out to 
t apart in the row.

PEAS. To get an early crop, plant in light, 
rich soil. For the general crop, & rich loam or 
clay soil is best. Plant at two-week intervals for 
continuous supplies. Germination can be has- 
tened by soaking seed in water the night before 
planting. Peas need moderate temperature, 
plenty of moisture. Light frosts do not injure 
them so they may be planted early in spring. 
Varieties more than 1} ft. tall should be staked 
or otherwise supported as soon as they are 4 in. 
to 6 in. tall. Sharpened branches of trees set 
between double rows will do nicely for support. 
For increased yield, INOCULATE! Garden 
peas, like all legume crops, almost always bene- 
fit by inoculation. Quantity and quality of the 
crop are increased when the beneficial nitrogen- 
fixing bacteria are present in sufficient numbers. 































































PEPPERS. Warm, mellow soil in a sheltered 
situation is best. Start under glass. Be sure to | 
cultivate regularly, drawing the soil up around | 
the stems. When plants are 7 in. to 8 in. tall, 
hoe in a light dressing of commercial fertilizer. 
Do not plant hot peppers near sweet; they are 
apt to cross.
