Exercise the greatest caution about culti- 
vating. or picking beans when the plants 
are wet with dew or rain. It is extremely 
possible to spread disease from plant te 
plant (if they are wet) with implements, 
or even clothing brushing past. 
* * * * * 
Few crops pay back the cost of fertilizing 
as well as cabbage. Use a good commer- 
cial fertilizer that can be applied before 
planting—and your crop will richly repay 
your efforts and expenditure. 
* * * * * 
For excellence of flavor you want young, 
tender carrots—and to get them you must 
have rich soil that will develop the roots 
fast. Slow growing, old carrots are only 
fit for stock feed. 
* * * * * 
Corn is much better for table use if it is 
gathered while very young. With a little 
practice, the proper stage for harvesting 
can be determined. This is shortly after 
the “milk stage,” when the silks are dry 
and black, and the husk leaves have an 
appearance of maturity. If the ear feels 
plump and firm, it is generally ready. 
* * * * * 
The best soil for growing Cucumbers is 
warm, sandy loam—especially if it has a 
slight southward slope. 
* * * * * 
For increased yield, INOCULATE! Gar- 
den peas, like all legume crops, will almost 
always benefit by inoculation. Both quan- 
tity and quality of the crop are increased 
when the beneficial nitrogen-fixing bac- 
teria are present in sufficient numbers, 
* * * * * 
The secret of getting crisp, delicious rad- 
ishes is quick growth. So use plenty of 
plant food in their soil. 
All through the planting season, a succes- 
sion should be sown every 10 days, so that 
you may have plenty of mild, tender 
radishes for relish and salads all through 
the season. 
* * * * 
In some soils, hormone treatment of seeds 
produces tremendous stimulation of growth. 
Petunia blooming three weeks earlier, nas- 
turtium showing twice as many flowers and 
tomatoes and corn bearing earlier—all 
these -~have resulted from mixing a little 
Rootone with the seeds before planting.
