A SUCCESSION OF VEGETABLEs-The most
general plan OF operation 10 country gardens
is to SOW the different kinds of veget abIcs in
spring, and perhaps all in one day. This NAV
answer for majority OF the kinds cultivated,
but If succession is desired. then corn, peas
beans, lettuce, radishes, and similar vegeta-
bes must be sown at different times during
the spring and summer. By planting a few
every week or ten days the table may be sup
pied during the greater part Of the summer
and autumn months. There Is nothing which
adds SO much to the pleasures of Country life,
or to the health of a family, as an abundance
OF fruits and vegetables, and yet it is notable

ties for producing them are the most likely to

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Potatoes in Ireland.

lhe Pacific Rural Press, noticing the way
the potato was introduced into the different
parts OF Europe, says: The soil and climate
OF ireland proved SO favorable that the culture
OF the potato extended rapidly, until it be-
came the most important crop in the country,
Delns among the large numbers of people al
most the only article of food. There was
cause Tor their popularity, among the chief of
winch We're their great productiveness, and
their safety from destruction by an enemy
making raid through the country. During
the religious wars, which ragged so long in
Ireland, this last consideration was very i'm
portant one for while field OF grain could
be destroyed in few hours, by turning cattle
or horses into it, or If dry, by simply setting
fire to it, potatoes in the ground could be
reached only by the slow process of digging
When first introduced into Scotland it is said
that the Puritans objected to it, because not
mentioned in the Bible, and that is was not
cultivated as field crop there before 1882.
In 1886, Essex county alone raised 700 acres
ofpotatoes for the London market.

RHUBARB, OR PIE-PLANT.-Thi is another
very wholesome vegetable, its peculiar acidlty
making it very agreeable to most persons.
The seeds may be sown in autumn or early
spring, and the seeds transplanted when one
year old, and placed about the same distance
apart as asparagus. If, however. any parti
calar variety is desired, the roots m ust be pro-
cured, as 1t varies considerably when raised
from seed The Llnneus, Downng's Coios
sal, and Victoria are the three best varieties
In cultivation. The plants may be multiplied
quite rapidly by dividing the clumps of roots.

BEEs.-lt may not be amiss to remind you
that an orchard without bees is often very un-
certain in production. All nature is provided
with male and female and in fruits the only
impregnation effected Is by bees conveying
the pollen from the male to the female organ.
1t is not uncommon t, see Or hear of trees
blooming abundantly and setting no fruit.
Again you see and hear OF fruit dropping i'm
mediately after it is done blooming; and
later, how often do you sec imperfect fruit
land thousand things the cause) and for
want of impregnation. And this Is the most
successfully done by bees; therefore bees are
very important pomologlsts.
