Directions for Cooking Beets.
Wash carefully, but do not cut or scrape. If the skin is broken before
cooking, the juice will go out into the water and the beets will lose both
flavor and color while cooking. Young beets will cook nicely in one hour,
—old ones should be cooked three or four hours. Beets should be put in to
cook in Doiling water, and should be taken from the water at the end of the
time given, thrown into cold water just a moment and the skin rubbed off
on a towel,—then cut into slices.--dust with salt and pepper, pour a small
quantity of melted butter over themvand they are ready to serve.

Onion.
One of the most extensively grown
vegetables in cultivation. The soil for
onions should be very rich, the ground
should be highly manured in the fall.
No manure should be used in the spring
as it tends to make the onion grow a big
stiff neck. They do best sown on the
same ground year after year. Sow in =
drills 14 inches apart, as early in spring as the ground can be worked, use
at the rate of five pounds to the acre.
Directions for Stuffing Onions.
Boil six large onions without peeling for one hour. Drain, remove the
skins, and with a sharp knife cut out the center of each. Mix two table-
spoonfuls of finely chopped ham or tongue with a half cup of bread crumbs;
pour over this one tablespoonful of melted butter, one tablespoonful of
cream, a half-teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of pepper. Fill the onions
with this mixture, place them in a baking pan, baste them with melted but-
ter, dust them with bread crumbs, and bake in aslowovenone hour. Serve
with a cream sauce poured over them. ;

Peas.
Peas for an sarlycrop should be suwn as
soon as the ground isin working condition.
The soil for their reception should be light,
dry and well sheltered. Mild manure, such
as leaf moulc, has a beneficial effect: but for
many of the varieties, the soil cannot be too |
rich. For general crops the ground should jf
be well manured the previous year, which }
causes them* to yield more abundantly. ii
When grown as a market crop, peas are never |
staked, and are sown in single rows, two or
three inches deep and from two to three feet }}/
apart, according to the variety or strength }f/f
of the soil. When grown in small quantities //f
for private use they are generally sown in I
double rows, six inches apart, and the tall “a
varieties staked up by brush. y -
One quart to 75 feet of drill; two to three bushels to the acre.
Peas ordered by mail are subject to an extra charge of fifteen cents per quart for
postage.

SACO VALLEY. This new potato was originated by E. W. BURBANK, of
FRYEBURG, MAINE, and is named from the Valley of the Saco, in which
Fryeburg is situated. ‘This fertile valley is one of the best potato growing
sections in Maine, and annually produces enormous crops.
The seed ball from which this potato was originated, was taken from the
‘‘BURBANK SEEDLING’’ and is a cross between the ‘‘BURBANK”’ and the
‘“‘BREAUTY of HEBRON,’’ and is the seventh year from the seed ball.
While it resembles the ‘“‘BURBANK”’ in shape, and is an enormous yielder,
outyielding th ‘‘BURBANK”’ by nearly one-third, wken planted side by side
with it, yet it has the fine qualities of the ‘‘Hebron’’ being white, floury,

Salsify.
Salsify, or Vegetable Oyster, is considered by many a de-
licious vegetable, in fact, a great luxury, and is used for
soups, also boiled, fried, etc., and possesses the flavor of
the oyster, for which it is sometimes used as a substitute.
The culture is the same as for Carrots and Parsnips, but it
flourishes best with longest, smoothest roots, in a rather
light or mellow soil that has been well pulverized to the
depth of eighteen inches. Sow early in the spring in drills
a foot or more apart, covering the seed not more than two
inches in depth. Thin out to six inches apart. Put seed
in the ground as early as possible in the spring. A _ por-
tion of the crop may remaiu in the ground all winter, like
the Parsnip.

Boiled Salsify or Oyster Plant.
Wash and scrape one dozen roots of salsify, throw each into cold water to
prevent discoloration, as soon as scraped. Throw into a kettle of boiling
water, boil slowly about one honr, drain, arrange neatly on a plate of but-
tered toast, cover with cream sauce and serve.
Squash.
Any good rich soil is adapted to the
growth of the squash. They only thrive
well in warm temperature, as all the varie-
ties are tender annuals; and the seed should
not be sown in spring untilall danger from €
frost is past, and the ground is warm and
thoroughly settled. The hills should bX
made from eight to ten inches in depth —=
manured well, and covered about three-fourths of an inch deep. Keep the
earth about the plants loose and clean, removing the surplus vines from
time to time, allowing not more than three or four to a hill.
One ounee to fifty hills.

Tomato.
This is a native of South America. Near-
ly all our choice varieties are of recent or-
igin. The seed should be sown thinly, a-
bout the first week in March, in a hot-bed,
green-house, or inside the window or sit-
ting room, where the temperature is never
below sixty degrees. When the plants are
about two inches high, set out in boxes three
inches deep, four inches apart, in the same
temperature, or pot singly. If again transplanted before setting out, the
plants will be still more stecky. Set out in the open ground about the first
of June, four feet apart in each hill. Choose a sunny knoll and light sandy
loam for early Tomatoes. If the vines are trained on a trellis, the fruit will
be finer in every respect.
One ounce will produce over two thousand plants; two ounces will give plants e-
- nough for one acre.
Directions for making Green T )mato Pickles.
1 peck green tomatoes. 113 ounces of pepper,
1 ounce of whole allspice, 1 ounce of mustard seed,
1 dozen onions, 1 ounce of whole cloves.
‘Slice the tomatoes and onions. Then puta layer of tomatoes in the bot-
tom of a jar, then a layer of onions, then a sprinkling of salt, then tomatoes
~ and so on till all are used—stand aside over night. Next morning drain off
the liquor, put them ina porcelain kettle, add the spices, cover with vinegar,
simmer gently fifteen minutes; put away in stone or glass jars.

Turnip.
For early use, sow the small sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in
the spring, in drills fourteen inches apart, the Ruta Bagas thirty inches. As
the seed is very fine, it should be covered but slightly, excepting in very dry
weather. Select light, if possible, new soil, and manure with plaster and
ashes or phosphates. Should the young plants be troubled with insects, a
sprinkling of the same will be found beneficial. Of the early varieties thin
the plants to six inches apart, aud the Ruta Bagas to one foot. For fall and
winter use, the early kinds should be sown from the middle of July to the
middle of August, and the Ruta Bayas from the middle of June to the first
of July, using from one to one and a half poundsof seed totheacre. Turnips
are extensively used as winter feed for cattleand sheep. ‘‘Swede’’ and ‘‘Ruta |
Bagas’’ being synonymous terms, the names below, given as they are gener-
ally used, will be readily understood. The English varieties are almost ex-
clusively used for early planting for market.

Pot, Sweet or Medicinal Herbs,
Every garden should contain some of the following varieties of herbs, both
for culinary and medicinal purposes, as they are easily grown, and which
preserved by drying, are ready for use at any season of the year. Care
should be taken to harvest them properly. Cut just before they are in full
bloom, ona drv day, and, after being thoroughly dried, they should be en-
tirely excluded from the air. Sow in spring in shallow drills, covering
lightly and when well up thin out or transplant to a proper distance apart.

year after grafting. ‘The fruit is remarkably large, very
showy, (bright yellow). It has already been tested in
Europe, United States and Canada and wherever grown
it has proved a most astonishing revelation in high quality
and especially in earliness of fruit. It is also claimed that
it is the only apple that will do well in hot countries. On
account of its beginning to bear while young and owing to
its bearing when only a small tree, it is frequently grown
in pots simply as an ornament.

killed by frost, and then there are more green fruit than most varieties
bear in a whole season.
