Darn or PLANrNG small seeds are often
smothered by too deep covering. Bsets and man
goli rough as they look may be kept from vege-
tating by one inch Of moist earth pressed lightly
upon them. They and nearly all the small seeds,
should be covered from one-iourlh TO one-half inch
only anl the fresh earth Ii ghty pressed down with
a spa le or very light roller. We think all those
named are better covered ons-half inch or less,
rather than more, except peas aud corn. Corn
may be covered from one TO two inches, aud peas
any depth. We prefer TO cover peas from three TO
six inches deep. as are satisfied that they re-
main longer green than when planted shallow ~
We usually cover potatoes three TO four inches
lfthe soil is very dry and light, seeds may pant
ed little deeper than is otherwise proper
HOUSE PLANrs- lady in Oxford County
wishes 10 prescribe a cure for house plants at
Aicted with green lice. Our reply is--iumigate
them dear Sis, fumigate them lfyou have any
male friend nearabouts who makes smoke pipe
OF his facial orihee, shut him up ior two hours
under full head of steam in "a tight closet, with
the rose and flower pots arranged about his head,
and who knows but both he and the lice will be
etactually cured? They say thai there is no evil
that cannot be turned TO good, vice that may
not be transformed into virtue. This ls no
doubt, one Of the domestic uses TO which the vile
habit of tobacco smoking should be applied.
WuAr WHEN AND How TO PLANr AND Sow.
PLANTS differ very much us 10 the temperature
necessary for the termination Of their seeds. We
have seen rye throw out roots two or three inches
long on blocks of ice in an ice house, aud actual
ly penetrate the ice as TO braak off by pulling
them, and rye no doubt makes some growth under
the snow. Indian corn on the other hand will
not grow az a temperature mueh il any, below six
ty degrees, aud will rot in the ground at ifp-
five degrees. We think Indian corn may be- taken
as a fair type Of many garden plants which we
may call tender aud which perish by even slight
frost. Robust plants however, often have their
tops killed to the ground by frost, and yet grow
again
Among the plants that are uuiniured by frost,
and therefore may be planted early, are the pea,
beet carrot, cabbage, caulilower lettuce, parsnip.
onions, celery, radish, turnip, and spinach. A.
mong those which are tender, and suffer by frost,
are the bean Of all kinds corn, melon, cucumber,
squash, tomato, nasturtion, okra, eggplant and
pepper.
