sistant strain, producing large deep green sprouts of 
lid quality. Pkt.. 10c; oz., 25c; 4 Ib., 75c. 
ROOT PLANTING. A year may be saved by buying 
the plants and setting them at least two feet apart in the 
row, and the rows not closer than four feet; see that the 
roots are well and evenly spread out in planting.

GARDEN BEANS 
1 Ib. to 100-ft. row. 60 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. There is hardly a vegetable that contributes 
to the table as liberally as the snap bean. It is easy to 
grow and a heavy producer. Beans should be planted at 
intervals so that one may always have a fresh patch to 
depend upon. 
For the best crops beans require good rich soil and 
frequent hoeing. The young plants are very tender and 
cannot withstand even slight frosts. The seed should not 
be planted until the soil has become well warmed and 
all danger of frost is over. Spade or plow deeply and 
plant in rows 2 feet apart, scattering the seed about 3 
inches apart in the row, and cover 2 inches deep. Hoe 
frequently, but never when the foliage is damp from dew 
or rain. Hoeing should be done shallow so that the roots 
are aot injured.

Early Wonder Beet 
CULTURE. Beets thrive best in deep, rich, sandy soil, 
one which the roots can penetrate easily. For extra early 
use, the ssed may be sown in hotbeds and the young 
plants sefYut in the open, trimming off the outer leaves. 
They can 5e transplanted easily in moist weather. For 
early use, spade or plow deeply, sow seed in rows 18 
inches apatt, ering one-half inch deep. If dry, the soil 
should be firmed about the seed. When three or four 
leaves hav= eloped, thin out to four inches apart in 
the row, allowing the strongest to remain. Keep free from 
weeds. Formain crop sow end of April. For Winter crop, 
sow end o} June

ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING—Rapidly becoming a very 
popular vegetable. Culture is the same as Cauliflower 
but much easier grown. A rapid grower, producing 
bluish green heads in center of plant about 90 days 
after planting. After original head is cut, the plant pro- 
duces many branches which also bear smaller heads. 
It is usually served like Cauliflower but the flavor is 
distinct and has no similarity to Cauliflower. It is also 
cooked and served the same way as Asparagus. 90 
days. Pkt, 15c; oz., 75c: Y lb., $2.25. 
CANTALOUPES 
1 oz. to 100 hills. 2 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, 
moderately dry sandy soil, using well-rotted manure. 
When fros is over, plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill about 
one inch deep, and when well up, thin out, leaving four 
strong plants to the hill. Pinch off the ends of the vines 
when about a foot long; this will make them strong and 
bear mor freely. Give frequent but shallow cultivation 
till the vites cover the ground. Do not grow near cucum- 
bers, squashes, etc.

the tops once or twice before transplanting to the field or 
garden. Set plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows from 3 to 4 
feet apart. Transplanting should be done about the last of 
June. Care should be taken to firm the earth well around 
the roots of the plant; work up the soil between the rows, 
drawing it to the plants from time to time until they are 
covered to the very tops.

CULTURE. For general crop, sow as early in the spring 
as the ground can be worked in drills 18 inches apart, 
and thin the young plants to 4 inches apart in the row. 
As the plants begin to crowd, thin them out and use as 
required. Keep the soil constantly loose by frequent hoe- 
ing. Lettuce to be at its best should be grown as rapidly 
as possible, hence the soil should be made as rich as 
possible by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. 
For winter, sow under glass from November to February 
and thin out as necessary to prevent crowding. Keep a 
moderate heat and give all the light and air possible.

MUSTARD 
Ye oz. to 100-ft. row. 5 lbs. to acre. 
The greens, for which this quick growing | plant is 
chiefly raised, are fully as healthful and nourishing as 
spinach. Mustard is related to turnip, and although the 
tops are much alike in richness and flavor, mustard leaves 
are more tender and the stems not so long and coarse. 
Seed may be sown from early spring to midsummer in 
rows 18 inches apart. Thin to 5 or 6 inches apart in the 
rows. The plants are in condition for use as soon as the 
leaves are the size of one’s hand. Mustard runs to seed 
quickly, so that successive plantings are necessary for a 
continuous supply. Pkt. Oz. VY Lb.

ONIONS 
1/3 oz. to 100-ft. row. 4 to 5 lbs. to acre. 
THE SOIL. Soft, dark, sandy loam, not too fine. This is 
much better if it has been cultivated with hoed crops, 
kept clean from weeds and well manured for two years 
previous, because if a sufficient quantity of manure to 
raise an ordinary soil to a proper degree of fertility is 
applied at once, it is likely to make the onions soft. 
SOWING THE SEED. This should be done as soon as 
the ground can be made ready and can be done best by a 
hand seed drill. This should be carefully adjusted to sow 
the desired quantity of seed about one-half inch deep. 
The quantity depends on the soil and kind of onions de- 
sired. Four to five pounds is the quantity used for an acre 
to grow large onions.

in drills 1 foot apart, and when the plants are well up 
thin to 1 foot in the row. When the plants are about 3

PEPPERS 
Ye oz. to 100-ft. row. 1 oz. to 1500 plants. 2 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. Peppers should be started in a hotbed or 
cold frame and transplanted about the end of May into a 
sunny corner of the garden, in rows about 2 feet apart, 
with the plants about the same distance between them 
in the rows. In warmer sections they can also be sown 
in open ground in a prepared seedbed when all danger 
trom frost has passed, the weather has become settled 
and the soil warm. When the little plants are about 3 
inches in height, transplant as above into the rows where 
they are to remain. Some very rich fertilizer stirred into 
the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high, will be 
found very beneticial to the crop. The peppers intended 
for mangoes should not be grown near the hot varieties, 
or they will partake of heir fiery nature.

GARDEN PEAS 
1 lb. to 100-ft, row. 60 Ibs. to acre. 
CULTURE. For early peas the soil should be light and 
warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy soil is 
better. Fresh manure and very rich or mucky soil should 
be avoided as they cause a rank growth of vine at the 
cost of the quality of the peas. Sow as early as possible 
a few of some early variety on warm, quick soil, prepared 
the fall before, planting in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart 
and 2% to 4 feet between the double rows. Larger pods 
and more of them will ba produced if the seed be planted 
in trenches 3 to 6 inches deep and covered with only 
1 or 2 inches of soil; when the plants are 5 to 6 inches 
high fill the trench level with the surface. If the peas be 
covered to the full depth at first, or if water be allowed to 
stand in the trenches, they will not germinate or grow 
well. All varieties growing more than 1/2 feet do better 
if staked up or brushed when 4 to 6 inches high. The 
support is usually given by sharpened branches of trees 
set between the double rows.

CULTURE. Pumpkins are not so particular in regard to 
soil as melons or cucumbers, but are cultivated the same, 
though on a larger scale. They are raised between hills 
of com or in fields by themselves. After danger of frost 
is over plant the seed in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way, 
dropping about a dozen seeds in each hill. Have the soil 
as rich as possible.

2-3 oz. to 100-ft. row. 12 lbs. to acre. 
CULTURE. To be tender and crisp, radishes must be 
grown quickly—end quick growth requires rich soil and 
plenty of moisture. Commencing with the first mild spell 
of weather in the Spring, sow at intervals of 10 days in 
a light rich soil that has been deeply dug. They can also 
be grown as a catch crop between the rows of beets, 
lettuce, onions, etc. Radishes can be forced in the hotbeds, 
but they must have plenty of ventilation and moisture.

SWEET CORN 
2 Ib. to 100 hills row. 12 lbs. to acre. 
Warm weather, rich soil and moderate moistuve are 
best for corn, but a satisfactory crop can be grown in any 
garden if the soil is deeply and thoroughly worked be- 
fore planting. Sweet corn seed is likely to rot if planted 
in cold weather, so planting should be govermed by this 
fact. Seeds may be planted either in rows or hills. If 
planted in rows, they should be spaced from 212 to 4 feet 
apart, depending on the height of the variety; seeds 
should be dropped at the rate of 5 or 6 to the foot, and 
covered about 2 inches deep. If planting in hills, drop 5 
or 6 seeds per hill and space the hills 3 feet apart each 
way. When plants are 4 or 5 inches tall, thin to 8 to 12 
inches apart and keep well hoed until the ears are set.

TURNIP 
CULTURE. First early varieties of tumips should be 
planted just as early in the spring as the ground is dry 
and warm. You may sow them in drills, beds or late 
broadcast, or among corn. The Winter Rutabaga varieties 
and also the early sorts will do better if planted in drills. 
Make the drills at least 18 inches apart, and then thin out 
the plants when well up to from 6 inches apart down to 
3 inches, according to the variety.
