BEANS.— Dwarf or Bush.
Postage on all Beans to be paid by purchaser. See Parcel Post Rates
Front Page
Beans should not be planted before the ground becomes light and warm, In favorable seasons
usually about the first of May. The soli should be rich and mellow, and the seeds scattered
about 3 Inches apart in drills that are 2 to 2% feet apart, and covered about 2 Inches deep.
Successive sowings, made at intervals of about two weeks until the middle of July, will give a
plentiful supply of beans throughout the season. One pound of seed will sow
feet of
drill.

POLE BEANS.
Less hardy than the Bush Beans, and should be planted several weeks later, when the ground
Is warmer. Plant the seeds In slightly raised hills 8 or 4 feet apart, 4 or 5 seeds to the hill.
The Limas are especially tender, and the rule for late outside planting with them Is rigid.
Painstaking cultivators, who are usually the most successful, plant them eye downward, after
setting stout poles for every hill. All sorts of late-ripening Pole Beans are benefited by pinching
the tips of the vines back when they are about 6 feet high. A pound will plant about 100 hills.

PEAS.
Postage to be Paid by Purchaser. See Parcel Post Rates Front Page.
Peas succeed in light, dry, loamy soil. Early and dwarf sorts require richer soil than the
late varieties. If manure is used let it be old and well rotted, or there will be a rank growth
of vines with few pods. Sow the early, smooth, round sorts as early in spring as the ground
can be worked. Seeds of wrinkled varieties are more liable to rot if the ground is cold and
must be planted later. Sow all the varieties quite early and depend for succession upon the
different times of ripening of the various sorts, or from the first sowing sow every two weeks
until June for a succession. One-half pound to 100 feet; 2 bushels to the acre.

BEETS.
The soil best suited to the Beet Is a deep, light and rich loam. For very early crops, the
seed Is sown In hotbeds, and the seedlings are transplanted to the open ground. For main crop,
the seed is sown outside as soon as the soil is in good condition, in drills from 12 to 15 inches
apart, and covered about an inch deep ; the plants are thinned to stand 4 or 5 Inches apart in
the rows. For winter crops, sow seed in June, in drills, as for early Beets. An ounce of seed
will sow 100 feet of drill ; five or six pounds will sow an acre.

become well established remove the glass for part of the day, to harden them for final trans-
planting into the open ground, Increasing the exposure daily until April 10 or 20, when the final
transplanting may be made. Plants for this early crop need not stand further apart than I%x2
feet. For late crops, sow seeds in April or May, and transplant to the open ground when large
enough, setting the plants up to the first leaf, and 2x3 feet apart. It Is important that the
plants should not stand thick in the seed-beds, as this would induce weak, slender plants.

CAULIFLOWER.
Culture for Cauliflower and cabbages Is essentially the same, but to the former extra care
given in applying fertilizers and moisture well repays the gardener. Sow the seeds for early and
late crops as directed for cabbage, but do not set the early plants in the open field too soon, for
if too much stunted by severe frosts they begin to form heads before they are strong enough to
develop them well. Plants which have not headed before winter sets in may be stored in a cool
cellar or coldframe, and will form heads there without any further attention.

CELERY
Celery can be grown on any garden soil, but is finest on deep, mellow bottom land. Seed
for early crops should be sown in hotbeds about March 15. The plants may either be thinned to
give them room to grow, or transplanted to another bed to grow until it is time to plant them
in the open ground For main crop, seed should be sown in the open air as soon as the soil and
air are warm enough. They should be covered lightly, or merely pressed into the earth with a
board if the soil is fine and mellow. The seed-bed must be kept, free from weeds, and well
watered in dry weather. When the plants are large enough, transplant them to shallow trenches
or furrows from 4 to 6 feet apart, according to the variety grown, setting the plants 6 inches
apart in the rows and pressing the soil firmly around them. One oz. to 10,000 plants.

The Davis Perfect
A sure money maker for those engaged in growing cucum
bers under glass “for profit ” as well as for truck
gardeners to grow out-of-doors. It is as early as the
earliest strain of White Spine and it out-yields by far
anything ever tried. Unequaled for quality, shape,
color and productiveness. Bound to become the most
popular cucumber when known.
Hoermann’s Alaska ....
This is a hybrid sort which produces very fine Cucumbers
for slicing or pickling. When suitable for slicing they
average from 6 to Sin. long, uniform in shape, dark green
color with lighter stripes extending from the blossom
about J of the length. Every one should try this variety
as it is an abundant yielder and succeeds under condi-
tions where other sorts fail.

Seed for the first outdoor crop is usually sown in hotbeds in February, and the seedlings
transplanted to the garden in April, 8 to 12 inches apart, in rows 12 inches apart. For a suc-
cession until frost, sow in drills in the open ground at intervals of every two or three weeks, and
thin the plants to stand 6 to 8 inches apart. For plants to force In hotbeds from November
until spring, sow seed in hotbeds in the fall, and cover up as winter approaches, until the plants
are required for use. Or the seed may be sown in hotbeds early in winter and the seedlings
transplanted when large enough into fine and well-prepared garden soil.

This is an important fall and winter salad. For early, the seed should be sown in April, in
drills 15 inches apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 12 inches apart in the rows Sowings
for the main crop may be made in June and July, as the vegetable is used principally in fall and
winter. The inner leaves are blanched by tying the tips of the outer ones together, or by laying
hoards over the plants. One-fourth oz. to 100 feet of drill.

ESC PLANT.
Sow the seed in hotbeds early in March, transplant to small pots and plunge them in the
same beds ; this is to make them strong and stocky. They should not be planted out until May
or June, when the weather becomes warm and settled, as cool nights and wet weather will check
their growth. Set the plants in rows 3 feet apart each way and give them thorough cultivation,
drawing the earth up to the stems when they are about a foot high. Repeated sowings are
sometimes necessary, as the seed does not. germinate freely without strong and uniform heat.

ONION.
Onions thrive best on a rich, deep, loamy soil For sets, the seeds should be sown very
thickly in drills as early as possible in spring. In summer, as soon as the tops die down, harvest
the bulbs and store them in a dry, cool place, spreading them in thin layers. Early in the
following spring replant them 4 inches apart, in small drills 12 inches apart, and they will form
Into fine, large bulbs early in the season. Large Onions may also be grown from seed the first
season if the land is strong and well manured, the seed sown thinly in drills a foot apart, and
the seedlings thinned to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in drills; they must be well cultivated and
kept free from weeds. Five pounds per acre will be required for large onions ; for sets, 25 to 30
pounds. One-half oz. to 100 feet of drill.

Muskmelon seed should not be planted outdoors until the ground has become warm and

for the young plants than manure; but if the latter must be used see that it Is well rotted.
Plant from six to twelve seeds in a hill, and when the young seedlings are strong enough to re-
sist the attacks of Insects, thin them, leaving three of the strongest in each hill.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN.
The ground should be spaded deeply and thoroughly raked to a level and fineness, and
after the seed is sown should be very lightly raked, as heavy raking would cover it too
deep. After raking it is well to roll it, but it is not absolutely necessary.
Kentucky Blue Grass is largely used alone, and it makes a fine sod. It is well to use
with it a little White Glover, which is of low growth and looks well, and it is of surer
growth than blue grass. As light seeds like blue grass cannot be covered deep, but must
be close to the surface, they are readily affected by dry weather. The seed may be ready
to sprout and in the morning be moist, but before night be dried out and ruined. With
this uncertainty it is well to sow a little Red Top with it, which is of much surer growth,
and in a couple of years the blue grass will run it out.
Seed can be sown with good results almost any time where water can be had to sprinkle
when it becomes dry. If not, then February and March are the best months, that it may
come up with the warm spring rains. August and September are also good months, as we
usually have fall rains to do the same.
It is advised to sow one pound of seed to each thirty feet square on bare ground, and
on old lawns in proportion as needed.

COLUMBINE. (Aquilegsa.)
No hardy plant is more easily grown than the Columbine. Seed may be planted in the

They do well in sun or half shade. No other plant has so airy a grace as the Columbine, is
more generous of blooms, or better adapted for cut flowers. In this mixture are shades of
yellow and orange, blue and white, pure white, pink, dark red, and the red and yellow
native Columbine, many of them having long spurs. Packet, 10 cents.
■
Should be sown in spring, in the open
ground, when danger from frost is past,
or the seed may be started under cover
and afterwards transplanted. When
the plants are about a foot high, the
tops should be pinched out to induce a
bushy growth, and this should be con-
tinued until the middle of July, when
they should have formed nice, bushy
plants three feet high by the same in
diameter.

PANSY.
Pansies are the most popular of all the flowers grown from seed.
For summer blooming sow the seed in a box in the house or in a moderate hotbed in
February or March. Sow thinly, or else transplant when an inch high to one or two inches
apart. Give the plants air, so that they may not spindle up, and they may be hardened,
for transplanting to the open ground, which may be done when spring has fairly opened.
The soil may be any good garden soil, but the size and the beauty of the flowers will be
much increased by a liberal amount of well-rotted manure (cow manure is best) well
worked in. A light clay loam is best of all soils, but good results may be had from any
except light, poor sandy soil, or heavy, wet clay. A little shade is preferable to an entirely
exposed situation. Remember that very large flowers can only be grown in rich soil and
with sufficient moisture.
Improved Trimardeau Giant. A desirable and very attractive strain. The plants
are of compact, robust and free-flowering habit. The flowers of immense size, measuring

THE TUBEROSE.
The frequent failures in getting blooms
from the Tuberose come from three causes —
the planting of bulbs that have already
bloomed, or of those that having been too
cold in winter have rotted in the center,
something that cannot readily be seen ; or thirdly from planting
out to early, by which the same thing is caused. If anxious to
have them bloom early in the summer they may be started in a
hotbed or warm place in the house. Besides this they really
will bloom as soon if planted in the open ground in a sunny spot
the last of May as in ordinary treatment on the other plan. Rich
soil, sun and moisture are required. Set bulbs with tops just
above the ground.

SWEET PEAS
Seed should be sown as early as the ground can be worked
in the spring, to enable the vines to get a good strong
growth before the warm weather comes. Prepare the
ground by thoroughly working in a large quantity of
well-rotted manure. Make a trench six inches deep ; in
this sow the seed and cover two inches deep. As soon as
the plants begin to show through, fill the trench. This
will secure a deep planting without the bad effect of deep
covering of the seed at first, and so enable the plant to
bloom continually through the heat of the summer. As
the flowers come into full bloom or fade, they should be
cut off, for if the pods are allowed to form the plants will
stop blooming. Each of the following named varieties of
Sweet Peas 5c. per packet, 10c. per ounce. Mixed, 5c. per
