i» Parsnips— Sow a few rows in just the 
guine way as was advised for carrots, They 
are very dvep-rooting plants, and the soil 
should be dug to a considerable depth. 
Peas (capsicum)—A plant or two is all 
that will be needed in a small home 
garden. The seed may be s wn in a box, 
and the seedlings transplanted when they 
are a few inches in height. They come 
to the greatest perfection in the warm 
climates. 
Potato—A few rows to be planted. 
Some of the best varieties are Brownell’s 
Beauty, Early Rose, and Kidney. 
Rhubarb--The present is a good time 
to sow seed of this vegetable. Roots are 
generally cbtained to plant out. and time 
is thus saved, but in many localities it is 
difficult to obtain roots when they are 
required. Sow in drills in a seed- 
bed, and when the seedlings are large 
‘enough to handle transplant to a well- 
dag and well-manured bed, where they 
may remain until large enough to plant 
in their permanent places. There is no 
necessity to sow much seed, as @ dozen 
plants will suffice for an ordimary family. 
Tomato—Seed may be sown in the 
‘open ground in all the warm districts. 
The best plan is to sow the seed in a box 
or seed-box and transplant the young 
tomatoes when they are large enough to

Turnips— Sow a few rows in drills

A prompt and regular settlement is 
commendable from every point of view. 
Even the weather settles every few days. 
There are many mel, who, no matter 
how tired they are, seem to take a plea- 
sure in going away down the road to 
meet trouble.
