Sd. During no time OF their
growth should they suffer from want

a soil in proper mechanical and
chemical condition for their healthy
growth.
GERMIx ATING THE SEED IN ALITTLE BOX
For family use, (and it is cspcci-
ally with this view wo writc9 the
plants may be started in little box
in warm room; and for field cul'
turc in a hot-bcd or green house
In quitcasmall box all the plantsany
family needs can bcgrown, A few
plants well cared for will be wortl
n great deal more than II large mum
Der ill-grown, such as we SO oftet
sec crowded to suftocation and dealt
in dealers hot-bcds. Such Ion!
weakly things can have no value
The little box need be no more thai
two feet long, foot wide and a fey
inches deep, covered with glass {
counteract the dryacss of the atmos
phcre Of the room. Put the box i
the sunshine, keep the room warn
and carefully ventilated. DO no
be IN too great haste to gcrfiinat
the seeds; but once started rc tha
the plants, get no check from wan
Of care.
WHEN TO SOW FOR Az kArLY CROP.
In the neighborhood Of Nci
York, the seed may be sown abou
the middle of February or begininI
Of March.
TTANspLASTING.
When the plants are two Or thre
inches high they may be put int
small pots to be afterwards trans
planted into hot-bed. The trans
planting OF them at least twice O
even three or four times before put
tingthem in the open ground, (whic
should not be done till all appear
ance Of frost has gone, unless the
are protected when necessary wi
hasten early ripening. Each tim
before transplauting, the soil shoul
be well watered 50 that n ball {
earth may be removed with eac

q Bile when they arc being put IN tl
