MISCELLANEOUS VEGETABLES, ETC. 
Besides the vegetables already considered we grew several varieties, 
or names of varieties each of corn salad, cress, endive, mustard, 
pumpkin and purslane, with thirty-six varieties or species of the class 
of plants known to seedsmen as ‘‘herbs.” We present the data 
gathered upon these plants in tabular form, for purposes of refer- 
ence. We have given less attention to these plants than to the more 
generally grown vegetables.

We have very little success growing the cress from spring plant- 
ings, owing to attacks of the flea-beetle.. Planted about August 1, 
however, the plants make a vigorous growth, especially if the bed 
is mulched lightly, and watered each evening, if the weather is 
dry, until they secure a start.
