Select them from your dealer’s display. Listed in this Guide are annual flowers suitable fer many locations—poor soil, dry soil, and semi-shade, for example, as well as rich soil and full sunshine. Extend your sweet corn eating time by putting in several plantings of your favor- ite variety one to two weeks apart. Plan a border of long-blooming annuals that will furnish lots of cut flowers with plenty left on the plants for dooryard charm. é Get after destructive insects with an effective dust or spray as soon as the pests show up. Don’t wait_until they’ve had a good meal off the tender young plants. Sow seed of perennials at the same time as annuals. An early start gives the plants a chance to become strong and healthy for bloom the next year. To add special zest to your gardening, select a few of the newer varieties of vege- tables and flowers to grow along with old standbys. A Always thin young plants to the dis- tances recommended on the seed packets. You'll be more than repaid for your efforts in better vegetables and more abundant flowers. ; Start tomato seed indoors about a month before time to set the plants in the open ground. That’s one of the best ways to make sure of getting your favorite variety. ° Of course you like sweet peas! If you’ve had difficulty growing them, be sure to give our new Cuthbertson type a try.

Garden Success begins with good seed, proper planting, and care * Preparing the soil A rich sandy loam is well adapted to gardening. Other kinds of soil are suitable, but stiff clays need plenty of fibrous material and must be thoroughly broken up. Sandy soils generally need additional fertilizing. For general use, where well-rotted stable manure is not available, a commercial fertilizer containing 4 per cent nitrates, 12 per cent phosphate, and 4 to 6 per cent potash is usually best. Apply at the rate of about 4 pounds to the square rod (1614 ft. x 16% ft.). When the garden soil is slightly moist and crumbly in your hand, it 1s 1n good working condition Work the soil deeply and make the top 3 or 4inches as fine and loose as possible. Much weed killing can be done by hoeing or raking just before planting. Do not work clay soils when they are wet enough to stick to rake or hoe. * Planting At time of planting seed in the open ground, the soil should be moist but never wet, when avoidable. To retain moisture after planting, cover seed imme- diately with fine, freshly prepared earth and press it down firmly and smoothly. This firming of the soil brings the particles of earth into close contact with seeds, prevents drying out, and facilitates growth. Plant from the Ferry packet by tapping genily with the forefinger; it helps distribute the seeds evenly in the row Plant at a time when the atmospheric and soil temperatures are most favorable for germination of the kind of seed to be sown. The best temperature for each kind may be learned from study of our cul- tural directions and zonal charts and by inquiring of successful gardeners in your neighborhood. The proper depth for covering seed varies with the different kinds of seeds and conditions of soil. This can be learned best through practicalexperience. When planting seed, the soil must be loose and soft so that the tender stems of seedlings can easily push through, and the young roots quickly find plant food. This is usually secured by careful preparation | of the soil and by not planting fine seeds wher? the ground is wet. * Cultivating Stirring the surface soil during the period of growth © kills weeds, loosens the ground so as to encourage root development, allows air to enter, and helps to conserve moisture. Cultivation may be deep at first, but as the plants grow it should be more shallow to. avoid injury to the roots. * Watering When plants need artificial watering, the best hours — of the day for it are early morning or evening. The roots, however, may be watered at any time. One ~ good soaking is better than many light sprinklings. ~ lie Starting plants indoors Seedling plants may be grown successfully in spring jin shallow boxes of soil placed in south or east win- |'dows. The preparation of the seed box is simple but it needs care. Whether it is a cigar box or larger “‘flat,’’ holes should be bored in the bottom—about six inches apart in larger boxes and about three inches apart in one of cigar box size. Over the bot- tom of the box spread pieces of broken flower pots or | crockery, or small pebbles, then coarser soil, and last | of all finely sifted garden soil, or a mixture of build- ers’ sand and fine soil. Firm the soil and sow the seed thinly in rows. The general rule for depth of planting is about four times the diameter of the seed. Thin sowing is economy. The tiny plants crowd each other when planted too thickly. | Cover the seed box with a damp cloth or paper until germination starts and place a pane of glass Fill a shallow box or flat with fine soil or builders’ sand and sowl. Make shallow depressions with a straight-edged flat stick. Scatter the seed from the packet ... not too thickly. Cover with soil and tamp . down with the flat of the hand or a smooth board over the top. Remove the paper or cloth as soon as the first sprouts break through the soil. Wipe off the glass when water collects on it from evaporation. This will prevent moisture from dripping on the little plants and perhaps causing ‘‘damping off.”’ During the day prop up one edge of the glass cov- ering for ventilation. 4 Keep the seed box moist but not wet or water- logged. The best way to water is from beneath by setting the seed box in a pan of water or in shallow water in a sink. When seedlings are two or three inches high, they are ready to be transplanted, either to individual ' pots or out-of-doors. * Transplanting Proper methods in setting the young plants out- doors are just as important as good care while get- ting them started indoors. 1. It is a good plan to harden the young plants to outdoor conditions by setting the boxes outside in good weather for several days before transplanting. 2. Either choose a day that is cool and cloudy, or do the transplanting in the afternoon. 3. Water the plants well before disturbing them. 4. Avoid injury to the roots in taking up the plants, and if possible keep a ball of earth around them until they are set in the open. 5. Water the soil before and after setting the plants. If the soil is very dry, partly fill each hole with water before setting the plants. 6. Firm the soil around the roots of the plants so that they can take hold securely. 7. The plants will get a quicker and better start if they are shaded from the direct rays of the sun for a few days after transplanting. When seedlings are large enough to set out in the open ground, dig a hole large enough and deep enough to receive the roots of the plant without crowding. Full the hole about half full of water before setting the plant. Firm the sotl around the roots * Keeping the garden healthy 1. Spray and dust with reliable insecticides as soon as there is the least suspicion that insect pests may beat hand. Do not give them a chance to get a foot- hold. ‘‘An ounce of prevention . .. ” is a safe maxim to follow. ~ 2. In fall, remove and burn all rubbish in the gar- den. Many insect eggs may thus be destroyed that would otherwise be harbored over winter. 3. If you have had unsatisfactory results because of certain plant diseases, try some of the new strains of flowers and vegetables that are resistant to dis- ease. You.will find many disease-resistant strains listed in this Guide. When to plant your vegetables Seasonal zones compiled from the U. S.

Ferry’s Golden (Charlevoix) — superior in Hints for planting vegetables z yi If you suspect cutworms in the garden soil, make a collar of stiff paper or cardboard for each tomato, pepper, or other young plant when setting them out. Make the collar about six inches wide and sink half-way into the ground a SE ES ~ sth “he, Thin the young plants in the garden vow so that they stand at the distance apart recommended on the seed packets As soon as weeds show up between the garden rows, get after them with the hoe. It saves a great deal of time and energy to destroy them before roots get tough ARTICHOKE (True Artichoke, not Jerusalem Arti- choke). Sow seed in March or April, giving young plants protection until danger of frost is past. In transplanting, set in rows about four feet apart and about two feet apart in the row. In mild climates plants produce a crop of buds the second year. Where wee are severe, protect the crown with a heavy mulch. ASPARAGUS. Soak the seed 24 hours before plant- ing. Sow in rows about 18 inches apart, and 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. Cover two inches deep. Thin the young plants to about one inch apart. Hoe frequently. Set plants in permanent beds the following spring. BUSH BEANS. Plant when all danger of frost is past. With the corner of the hoe, make rows about 18 inches apart and an inch and a half to two inches deep across the space you are going to plant. Drop the beans along the row about three or four inches apart. Cover with fine soil and press down firmly with the hoe. When the plants come up, thin them so that they stand about six inches apart. POLE BEANS. Plant at about the same time as bush beans. Get poles four to eight feet long. Drive them into the ground in rows that are about three feet apart. Set the poles three feet apart in the row. Have the rows run north and south. ~ Around each stake, plant five to eight beans about an inch and a half or two inches deep. Press the soil down firmly. When the plants come up, thin out all except the four strongest plants at the base of each pole. Train these to climb in one direction around the poles. Hoe around the plants often to keep the soil loosened. BEETS. Plant beets about the same time as radishes and lettuce. Have the soil fine and loose. Make rows one-half to one inch deep and about 18 inches apart. Sow the seeds about an inch apart in the row. Cover with soil, and press it down firmly. Keep the weeds out when the plants come up. As soon as the tops are five to eight inches tall, pull out some of them and cook them for greens. Keep thinning and using the young plants until the beet roots stand about four inches apart in the row. 26 BRUSSELS SPROUTS. This vegetable can be grown wherever conditions are favorable for late cabbage. It requires the same culture. CABBAGE. Set out both early and late cabbage as soon as there is no danger of frost. Have the rows two to three feet apart. Set the plants one to two feet apart in the row, depending upon variety. CARDOON. The rows should be about four feet apart, and the plants two feet apart in the rows. Rich soil is necessary. The stalks require blanching, and the plant is raised much like celery. CARROTS. Sow carrot seed as early as radishes and lettuce. Make the rows in the same way as for beets. Sow the seed thinly, letting it drop a little at a time from the corner of the packet. Cover the seed with one-fourth to one-half inch of soil and press it down firmly. When the plants are about two inches tall, thin them so that they will not crowd each other. Keep out the weeds. Hoe around the plants often to keep the soil loosened. CAULIFLOWER. The same methods that produce good cabbage will produce good cauliflower. The only difference is that cauliflower heads must be protected _a shallow hole in the soil with the corner of the hoe and More hints for planting vegetables from sunlight to make sure of the desirable white curd.

The plants can be set out in the rows which have been occupied by earlier vegetables. Do not plant too early. COLLARDS. Sow the seed thickly in rows in rich ground, transplanting when about four inches in height; or sow where the plants are to remain and when well- started thin to two or three feet apart in the row. CORN. Plant when all danger of frost is past, and the ground is warm and dry. If planted in cold, wet soil, the kernels will rot. To plant in so-called “‘hills,’’ make drop in six kernels. Cover with about two inches of fine soil and press down firmly. Have the “‘hills’’ about four feet apart and in rows about two and one-half feet apart. When the plants are six inches high, thin out all except three or four of the strongest in each hill. To plant in rows like beans or peas, make a shallow trench with the hoe, drop in the kernels three to four inches 2 : : Z apart, and cover about two inches deep. When plants 7vrning the hose directly on plants in the garden row 1s are well up, thin to six or eight inches apart. likely to injure them. It also wastes water... CUCUMBER. Delay planting until all danger of frost is past. Soil should be warm, fairly moist, and loose. Seed must be covered about one inch deep. Plant in “hills,’”’ (see Corn), dropping eight or. ten seeds to the hill. When six inches tall, thin, leaving three or four strong plants to a hill. EGG PLANT. This semi-tropical fruit requires con- tinuous warm weather for best results. The seed ger- minates slowly and should be started in a hotbed. Set the plants in the open ground when two inches tall if the weather continues warm. Shade young plants from hot sun and spray with paris green or arsenate of lead to protect from potato bugs. : ENDIVE. For early use sow seed in spring; for later supply sow in June or July. When well started, thin the plants eight inches to one foot apart in the row. When nearly grown, tie the outer leaves together over the center to blanch the heart of the plant. Two or three successive plantings during July will provide en- dive for winter use. Just before killing frosts in fall, dig the plants, being careful to take plenty of soil with the roots and to avoid injury to the leaves.

To measure distances between rows a yard stick is a great convenience PLANTING HINTS (Continued) LETTUCE. Sow lettuce seed as soon as the ground can be worked. Make rows the same as for carrots and beets. Sow the seed thinly, letting it run out slowly from the corner of the packet. Cover with about one-fourth to one-half inch of soil and press down firmly. If the plants of loose leaf let- tuce look crowded when they come up, thin them a little. Thin head lettuce plants so that they stand about eight to ten inches apart in therow. Have the rowsat least twelve inches apart. Lettuce does best when the weather is cool‘and moist. MUSKMELON. In sections where summers are short, seed can be planted indoors or in hotbeds in small boxes. The young plants can be transferred to the garden when danger of frost is past. If practicable, spade in a liberal forkful of well-rotted manure at the bottom of each hill. The rows should be at least five feet apart, and the hills two to three feet apart in the rows. In general, the culture is the same as that for cucumber. WATERMELON. Raising watermelons requires about the same culture as muskmelons except that the vines need more room. Hills should be liberally manured, and cultivation careful and thorough. MUSTARD. Sow at the same time as radishes and lettuce. Make the rows in the same way. Sow the seed thinly and cover with one-fourth to one-half inch of soil. Press down firmly. When the plants are about two or three inches high, thin them so that they are four to eight inches apart in the row. Mustard plants make the best greens when they are given plenty of water so that they grow quickly. OKRA or GUMBO. Okra seed does not germinate well at cool temperatures, and planting should be delayed until the ground is warm. Drop four or five seeds to the foot and cover one-half to one inch deep. Thin to about two feet in the row and keep thoroughly cultivated. ONION. Onion seed germinates well in cool weather. Plant as soon as the soil can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable,—one-fourth to one-half inch. When a few inches tall, the young plants can be thinned to prevent crowding, and the plants removed can be used as green onions. After that, they can be pulled as needed, and those left to become fully ripe can be stored for winter. PARSLEY. The seed is even slower to germinate than pars- nip. It grows best in rich mellow soil and should be sown as early as possible in rows with a covering of not more than one-half inch of soil firmly pressed down. When the plants are well up, thin them to three to four inches apart in the row. As soon as those of the curled varieties are about three inches tall, cut off all the leaves; the new growth will be brighter and better curled. “Every cutting will improve the quality of the leaves. PARSNIP. Parsnips grow best in loose, rich, sandy loam but will make good roots in any soil that is reasonably rich and deep. Stony soil and raw manure are likely to produce branched or misshapen roots. The seed requires steady abundant moisture for germination and should be sown as early as practicable. Sow in rows and when well up thin three to six inches apart in the row. Keep the ground moist if possible. Parsnips are improved by freezing, and a portion of the crop can be left in the ground all winter to be dug in spring when the ground has thawed. PEAS. Peas need moderate temperature, plenty of mois- ture, and long daylight hours. They are not injured by light frosts and may be planted as early in spring as the soil will permit. By planting some of several varieties at the same time, a well-arranged succession can be obtained, extending over a period of 30 days. Successive plantings of a desirable variety will also provide a succession, but this cannot be extended over as long a period with good results. All vari- eties more than one and one-half feet tall do better if staked up or otherwise supported when four to six inches tall. Use sharpened branches of trees set between the double rows. 28 by preparing and planting it properly - PLANTING HINTS (Concluded) PEPPERS. Culture, soil, and temperature requirements for peppers are about the same as for eggplant. A moderate dressing of guano, poultry manure, or complete commercial fertilizer hoed into the soil after the plants are six to eight inches tall will be beneficial. PUMPKIN. Pumpkins are less sensitive to unfavorable conditions of soil and weather than melons or cucumbers, but they are cultivated in about the same way. RADISH. Sow radish seed as early as the ground can be worked. Make the rows in the same way as for lettuce, beets, and carrots. Sow the seed thinly, and cover with one-half to one inch of soil. If the plants seem crowded when they come up, thin them to stand about an inch apart. Rad- ishes will be crisp and tender if they grow quickly and have plenty of moisture. RHUBARB. Sow seed in rows an inch deep and thin the plants to six inches apart. In the fall transplant to a per- manent location, setting the plants three to four feet apart. The stalks should not be taken for use the first year. ROQUETTE. In early spring, sow the seed in shallow rows about 16 in. apart, and for succession sow every few weeks. Water freely. The young leaves are ready for cutting when plants are eight to ten inches tall. | RUTABAGA. This vegetable requires a longer growing season than turnip and needs more moisture. Seed may be sown from mid-June to mid-July.’ Culture is practically the same as for turnip except that the plants should be thinned to six or eight inches apart in the rows. When grown, pull, _ top, and store in cool cellar or pit. } SALSIFY or VEGETABLE OYSTER. Sow seed early one-half to one inch deep, giving about the same culture as ‘ for parsnip. Succeeds best in light, rich soil that has been _ stirred quite deeply. SORREL. Sow in rows early in spring and thin the seed- lings to six or eight inches apart in the row. Cutting may begin in about two months, and the plants will continue in full bearing from three to four years. SPINACH. Plant seed as early in spring as ground can be prepared. Have the soil fine and loose. Make the rows about 12 inches apart. Sow the seed thinly, and cover with about an inch of soil. Press down firmly. When the plants are about three inches tall, thin them so that they are three to six inches apart in the row. Keep out the weeds. ' SQUASH. Plant about the same time as corn, when the ground is warm and dry. For summer squash make “‘hills’’ (see Corn), two to three feet apart; for winter squash, three to four feet apart. Drop six to eight seeds in each hill. Cov- er with about one to one and one-half inch of fine soil, and press down firmly. When the plants are up, thin them so that only three or four of the strongest ones are left in each hill. Well rotted manure or a little complete fertilizer may be mixed with the soil in each hill before the seeds are planted. SWISS CHARD. Plant at about the same time as lettuce and radish. Make the rows in the same way, and about 18 inches apart. Sow the seeds about one inch apart in the row, and cover with one-half to one inch of soil. When the plants are three or four inches high, thin them so that they are eight or ten inches apart in the row. Hoe the plants often, and keep out the weeds. TOMATO. Set out tomato plants when the weather is warm and sunny, and there is no danger of frost. Set the plants three or four feet apart each way so that they will have plenty of room. Water around the roots of the plants when setting them out if the ground is dry. Hoe often until the plants are quite large. TURNIP. For summer turnips, sow the seed as early as that of radishes and lettuce. Scatter the seed, or sow it in rows like those of radishes and lettuce. Cover the seed with about half an inch of soil. For fall and winter turnips, sow the seed in July in the same way. 29 Space large seeds evenly in the furrow by dropping from the hand. Do not sow seeds of beans, peas, and corn too close together About four times the diameter of the seed 1s a good general rule to follow for depth of planting. This means covering large seeds one to two inches deep, medium-sized seeds one-half to one inch deep, and small seeds one-quarter to one-half inch deep After planting, press the soil down firmly with the flat of the hoe to bring the seeds into contact with the soil moisture and hasten germination More than 90 years with one objective— NOTE! “‘Days to table size’’ means length of time from date of planting to the time when the vegetables are ready to eat in the climate of southern Michigan. In most cases the reference is to seed planting; in the case of broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauli- flower, celery, eg¢ plant, pepper, and tomato, length of time starts with the date the plants are set in the open ground.

Make the surface fine and smooth by raking. In spring, sow the seed as early as possible, prefer- ably just before a shower, as this will push the seed far enough into the ground to cover it sufficiently. In fall, sow before the autumn rains, early enough so that the young grass can become established before cold weather. ASTORIA BENT (Agrostis capillaris var. Astoriana.) Spreads from underground rootstalks. Helpful for binding light or sandy soils when given special watering and rolling. CHEWING’S FESCUE (Festuca rubra fallax) Valuable because of ability to thrive on light sandy soils and in shady locations. KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis).

Slip off the skins under cold water and cook a few minutes longer in spiced vinegar, sweetened or un- sweetened. Remove from stove and let stand in the vinegar several hours or overnight. Drain. Hollow out centers with a small knife. Fill cavities with a mixture of finely cut cucumber, parsley, and a little minced onion or chives moistened with mayonnaise. Serve each beet in a lettuce cup on salad plate. BROCCOLI WITH BUTTERED CRUMBS —> (Variety—Green Sprouting) Cook broccoli upright in a deep kettle or asparagus cooker because the heads become tender sooner than the stems when submerged in water. Use only a little water and have it boiling and salted when the broccoli » goes in. Cover. Stalks and heads should be tender in about 15 minutes; the water should be nearly boiled s away. Never cook broccoli until it becomes mushy or | falls into pieces. Brown a cup of soft coarse bread crumbs in three tablespoons melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle over the broccoli just before serving. < ESCALLOPED EGGPLANT (Variety—Improved Large Purple) Peel one medium sized eggplant thinly, cut into small pieces, and cook until tender (about 15 minutes) in a small amount of boiling salted water. Mash eggplant. Add one onion chopped, three or four large slices of bread broken into fairly small pieces, one egg beaten and mixed with two cups milk. Stir all together care- fully and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour into baking dish, sprinkle bread crumbs over top, and dot with butter. Bake about 45 minutes in a moderate oven (350° to 375°) until nicely browned. Serves to 6. (Note: when peeling or cutting up eggplant put pieces in cold water until ready to use as air will turn them black. See illustration.) BAKED SUMMER SQUASH —> (Variety—Early Prolific Straightneck) Cut in half lengthwise young squash of uniform size about seven inches long. Do not remove skins. Cook in boiling salted water until slightly tender (10 to 15 minutes). Remove, drain, and scoop out center with a spoon, leaving a shell about 14 inch thick. Mash the scooped out part and season with a little finely minced green pepper and onion, salt and pepper to taste, and | butter or cream. Fill the shells and cover the tops with || Buttered crumbs. Place in shallow pan and bake until crumbs are golden brown (about 20 minutes in a 375° oven). Serve 14 squash to each person. Planting chart for vegetables QUANTITY NEEDED DISTANCE For 50 ft.
