CORN — (Sweet or Sugar)

CULTURE. — Plant in hills 3 ft. apart each way, and five or six kernels in a hill. Hoe often, drawing soil up to stem after first hoeing. Break off side shoots. Make ground very rich. If stable manure is used, it is perhaps best to plow it under. Use broadcast or in the hill Mapes or Quinnipiac Fertilizer, worked well into soil. It has been found very beneficial to sow these fertilizers between the rows before cultivating and hoeing the second time.

We have been very careful in selecting the best and sweetest varieties of corn adapted to this sec- tion. The list below is arranged in order as they would mature. If two or more varieties are se- lected and planted at same time, they would be ready for the table at different times, one following the other.

MUSHROOM SPAWN

CULTURE. — Mushrooms are more easily cultivated than many people imag- ine and may be grown in any room or cellar where the temperature can be maintained at from 50 to 65 degrees. For the beds use a mixture of three parts horse droppings and one part good fresh loam. Before being placed in the bed, let the manure be put in some dry place to sweeten, mixing it thoroughly and turning Mushroom Bed it three or four tinies, when the loam may

be added. Upon a dry firm bottom, make the bed by spreading a thin layer of the prepared mixture, pounding it firm, and continue this, till the bed is twelve inches thick. Leave it thus for about a week, or until the temperature has subsided to 85 degrees. Then make holes about ten inches apart, and put in each a piece of spawn about the size of an egg. Press the spawn firmly into the compost about two inches, leaving the top uncovered to allow the excess of heat and moisture to pass off without injury to the germs. After ten days, fill the holes and cover the whole bed with two inches of fresh loam, and over this place a few inches of straw. If the temperature is right, mushrooms will appear in six or eight weeks from the time of spawning. The bed will continue bearing from four to six weeks. If the surface of the bed becomes dry at any time, it should be moistened freely with water at a temperature of 90 to 100 degrees.

Our stock of spawn is replaced a number of times during the season and is giving *6XC0U0Xlt; 1*031111)3

Me- dium and late Peas must be planted early. Early Peas may be planted early or late, and the extra early very late. Sow in single or double rows from 4 to 6 feet apart, according to variety, and about an inch apart in the row and 4 in. deep. Hoe often, keep ground clean and fine. Most Dwarf Peas will bear better if bushed enough to keep them from the ground. If the pea louse attacks the vines, spray every day with clear water of the same temperature as the atmosphere, using force.

POTATOES

CULTURE. — So many conflicting opinions- exist as to the best method of growing pota- toes, that we do not venture to give directions for culture. We do, however, make the follow- ing suggestions: Plant in such a manner that most of the heavy hard work can be done by the horse. Use “Mapes Potato Manure,’^ or “Quinnipiac Potato or Market Garden,” in sufficient quantities to insure a crop. Always bear in mind that to get the full beneflt of the fertihzer and not burn the roots it should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. If stable ma- nure is used at all, it should not come in contact with the tubers, as it is sure to make the crop rough and scabby.

The Potatoes shovTi in cut were raised from our Maine Grown Seed, the crop was uniform, heavy, and of excellent quahty.

POTATOES

Use the “Quinnipiac or Mapes Fertihzers.” To insure quantity and quality in your potato crop there are positively no better fertilizers made.

There is less liability of getting chums too large than too small. Be sure and order churns large enough. There must be room in the chum to produce the concussion, and a small chum filled too full will require a longer time for churning.
