The Early Blood Bset in common use
lie best for.the garden and for family use.
E They may be sowed early in May. in drills
from twelve to twenty inches apart. The
ground should be well nanured and
trenched deep to give room for the roots.
The Carrot will grow well in ground
prepared as for Manuel Wurtzel When
raised in the field, the soil shonld be well
ydlverized, and the rows will be most
convenient at eighteen inches apart-or
IL you would pass them with the plough,
two feet asunder. The ridges may be
prepared as for the sugar beet, after
spreading over the ground an application
Of good manure in the covered furrow.
The Onion. Of late seasons. has been
more difficult to bring to perfection the
farther North we go. or the more distant
from the seaboard. The blight and mil
dew for the few last seasons have done
the crops essential injury. Here salt in
small quantities strewed over the ground
will help the onions growth. Onions. it
ie believed, will grow best on ground
where they have been produced for sue
cession Of seasons. The ground need not
be ploughed deep every year; fine ma
nure should be scratched in with the har-
row or iron rake. The onions had best
be sowed as early as the ground can be
properly prepared for them. They may
be sowed in drills or rows from twelve to
eighteen inches apart. If sown broad
cast. they viii be more difficult of culti-
walton. The silver skin onion is said to
be the surest crop, and keeps the best.
Ruta Bqga will grow well in any light
soil prepared as for carols SOW deep, so
that when the plants appear they will
have strength to resist the turnip fly and
other minute insects. Let the seed not
be stinted if sowed by hand-the extra
plants may be afterwards thinned. In
rich ground where the rows are two feet
distant. and the plants twelve inches apart,
tho growth of the tops will cover the sur
face. Sow from the first 10 the tenth of

The Common English Tarnip may be
sown from April 20 the middle of July,
for early or late crops, on light, moderate
ly rich soil. There are several kinds of
Turnips recently introduced from Europe,
that are said to be fine acquisition to
New England of these there are several
kinds Of Hybrid Turnips-of richer quail
ity in appearance, and of greater excel
leneefer keeping in the Spring. We
know not the particular management Of
these turnips; but presume they will grow
on ground well prepared as for Ruta Baga
tnrnip and as they come from a milder
and more humid climate, to their growth
should be given the best part of the sea-
son. 50 ~ a-a
The Red Globe 4H0HzeL HutzeL and
the French Sugar Beet will best grow on
rich and warm mellow ground, well pre-
pared with the pillow: Ii small quantity
Of stimulating manure shall be spread
along the furrow or drill in which they
are planted, covered mp in soil, it will be
al the better The roots of these beets
grow about half out the ground and some
times TO a great size They are excellent
food for cattle, and Sir Humphrey Davy,
according to analysis, proves they con
tain more nutrimoat than carrots. For
the field, they should be planted about
the same time as Indian corn.
CHeuHbsrs may be planted early in
May 70 the first of June, in hills four feet
apart, both for the general crop and for
picking. The ground should be made
rich with vegetable mould and good yard
manure. There should not be more than
two thrifty plants in hill and these
should be watered with pool water in dry
weather., Tobacco dust and SCOT are said
TO drive away the yellow fly.
Lettuce makes an excellent salad: it
will spring up spontaneously and grow in
almost any rich garden. a little seed
sown early, and continued from April to
September, will furnish this article the
greater part of Summer 1t is produced
still earlier in hot beds.
rParsnips may be sowed on ground
prepared as for carrots, and about the
same seasons of the year. They will
thrive weil-ohly in good ground well pre-
pared. -. 49,

Of sand. garden loan. and small guam

In such LAM they viii grow brittle and
tender. -,---.
Melons should be sown in April or May.
The varions kinds should be sown at so
great 3 distance as not to intermix. 1t is
said, if the seeds ara soaked in a decoc-
ton of tobacco and water twenty four
hours. they will be protected from bugs.
Peppers should be brought forward in
the season as early as possible. The
plants may be taken up and fixed in a
IRISH soil early in June, in hills two feet
apart.
