Vegetable Plants.

t

We have twenty acres in garden, therefore we make a specialty of raising vege- able plants, raising, setting and shipping hundreds of thousands of plants annually. We ship large quantities of plants to distant states and territories. Our system of packing is so complete that we rarely ever have any plants damaged. All vegetable plants sent out by us are raised from the same seed that we use ourselves; in fact we do not offer any plants for sale that we do not set out large quantities from the same beds in our own garden. All plants are raised from the best of seeds, regardless of cost of seeds. Early cabbage should be set out in April — the sooner the better; second early, about May 1st; late cabbage from May to the last of July.

As soon as the ground can be worked, get the ground in tine condition ; plant the rows three feet apart and the plants eighteen inches apart; give thorough cultivation, and do not let them get too thick — keep part of the runners cut off, at least.

Those marked (P) have pistalate or imperfect blossoms and must be planted near some variety with perfect blossoms to fruit them. Those marked (B) are bi- sexual or perfect blossom, and will do well by themselves.

Send your orders early, as your plants will do better if set out early.
