Il good plan tn mix scarlet long radish seed with
carrot seed as stronger than the carrot and loosen
tie soil for the young carrots The pulling OF the radshe'
breaks the earth at later period and gives the carrots
Raspberry plants mus. be covered in winter and shoull

the ground deep for he and then sprinkle the gaa1o
at The rate of 800 900 l5 per in the bottom of the

four or FIVE inches of mold between the guano and seed
There is no land unless absolutely rich garden mold
where SD h a course would not pay profit. The best
wav however in all for all crops TO apply guano IS
TO sow it broad cast and pillow orharrOw it in.
In answer q question, Mr. Robinson stated that corn
