any of our readers should have planted any
of these, and if The young plants have been
destroyed by worms or bugs, or failed from
any other cause, let them try again, and after
putting the seeds into rich bed of chip dirt,
fine garden loan and fine manure, let Them
put over them a small box with cover Of
very fine cotton cloth or good foundation
muslin split asunder. This will preserve the
young plants from the yellow bugs more eff
fectually tEan any other method u which we
know that trials have been made. An Occa-
sional application If liquid manure in the
evening, within and around the box, will ex-
pedite the growth. Thin cotton cloth or
foundation muslin split, is better covering
than pane OF glass, as the heat in the box
will be more moderate and the suns rays less
likely to kill the plants.

method, with marked success, we should be
