MARY WASHINGTON—A recently developed rust-re 
sistant strain, producing large deep green sprouts of 
splendid quality. Pkt., 10c: oz., 25c; ¥4 lb., 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 
gtow 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 soi] 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 not injured.

Early Wonder Beet 
CULTURE. Beets thrive best in deep, rich, sandy soil, 
one whic? the roots can penetrate easily. For extra early 
use, the wwed may be sown in hotbeds and the young 
plants setbut in the open, trimming off the outer leaves. 
They canbe transplanted easily in moist weather. For 
early use}spade or plow deeply, sow seed in rows 18 
inches apart, covering one-half inch deep. If dry, the soil 
should be well firmed about the seed. When three or four 
leaves have developed, thin out to four inches apart in 
the row, allowing the strongest to remain. Keep free from 
weeds. For main crop sow end of April. For Winter crop, 
sow end of June.

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

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 frost 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 more freely. Give frequent but shallow cultivation 
till the vines 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,

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 frequently 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 4 
moderate heat and give all the light and air possible.

MUSTARD 
¥2 oz. to 100-ft. row. 5 lbs. to acre. 
The greens, for. which thisquick 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 bree are necessary for a 

continuous supply. é Oz. Y% 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.

_ with the plants about the same distance between them

in open ground in a prepared seedbed when all danger 
from 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 beneficial to the crop. The peppers intended 
for mangoes should not be grown near the hot varieties, 
or they will partake of their fiery nature.

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 
Ya Ib. to 100 hills row. 12 lbs. to acre. 
Warm weather, rich soil and moderate moisture 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 governed by this 
fact. Seeds may be planted either in ro or hills. If 
-planted in rows, they should-be spaced trom 2%: 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 hiils, 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

SQUASH 
: CULTURE. Summer or bush varieties should be planted 
in rows 3 feet apart and 3% feet in the row, for these 
sorts are produced on bushes and never trail, 
Winter varieties are of different growth 
planted in hills about 4 to 5 feeb aoe Skea 3 
vine and trail all over the ground. Squash do not demand 
much cultivation and thrive on almost any soil. Never 
plant squash until all danger of frost is Past, for they are 
very sensitive to cold. Drop 3 to 4 seeds to the hill. Al- 
ways be careful not to bruise when harvesting, for a 
bruise will start decay and the squash will spoil. :

CULTURE. Tomatoes do best on not over rich soil, and 
success depends upon securing a rapid, vigorous and un 
checked growth during the early part of the season. Even 
a slight check while the plants are small will materially 
diminish their productiveness. Sow the seed in hotbeds 
or seed boxes, and when the plants have four leaves 
transplant into shallow boxes or cold frames.

TURNIP 
CULTURE. First early varieties of turnips 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.
