The Best Vegetables to Plant.

Acribner's Month@is printing series
of timely and practical papers in its
Home and Society" department, en-
titled "Rural Topics" by the we'll
known horticultuist, P. T. Quinn.
The following is from the May number:
April and May are the two busy
months in a wellmanaged vegetable
garden. During these months, the
most important work of the season has
to be hurried through, for planting time
is short, and there are many small mat
ters that need prompt attention. First
of all is the selection Of choice garden
seeds of recent growth, and such as will
be found true to name. The surest way
is to select from each years crop a few
of the same to raise seed from. For the
rest, send to some responsible seed mer-
chant, and don't depend on the kind of
stock found in small boxes in the coun-
try grocery stores. As matter of re-
ference for those not familiar with the
best sort of vegetable seeds and plants,
I append the following list, naming two
or three kinds of each to select from.
Dwarf Beans. EARLY Valentine and
Refugee.
Pole Beans.-Large White Lima and
horticultural Cranberry.
Beets--Dark Red Egyptian and Long
Smooth Blood.
Cabbage.-Je:sey Wakefield (early),
and Premium Flat Dutch and Drum
head Savoy QatG.
Cucumber. White Spine and Long
Green.
Carrot. - Bliss Improved Long
Orange.
Corn. -Moores Early and Stowell's
Evergreen.
Caulifower. r.-Early and Late Erfurt.
Celery.-Dwmf Incompatible and
Boston Market.
Egg Plant.-Improved New York.
Lettuce. .-Cwled Silesia and Butter.
Musk Melon,-Skillman' Fine Net
ted. ~.
Water Melon.-Mountain Sweet.
Onions -Wethersfeld Red and White
Portugal.
Parsnips. s.-Long Smooth.
Peas. Philadelphia Extra Early, Car
ter's First Crop, Champion of England,
and White Marowfat.
Peppers. Squash and Bull
nose.
Radishes. .-Turnip Scarlet, Long
Scarlet. and White Spanish.
Squash. Summer Crookneck, Boston
Marrow, and Hubbard.
In this brief list will be found the
leading kinds grown by market and
private gardeners near large cities.
With bush beans, peas, and radishes, il
is best to repeat the sowings every two
or three weeks, until the middle of June.
By following this plan, fresh supply
of these sorts will keep coming on foi
table use until late in the season.

Not Like Hard Times.

It did not look much like hard times
when the six fourth hand drags rolled
up Fifth avenue. The streets was filed
with handsomely dressed women ex-
pensively attired the progress OF the
coaches interrupted by smart vehicles
of all sorts drawn by well-governed
horses, and at the park great throng
of carriages. 1t was q gay scene, and
one that could not be got up by an i'm
poverished city. New York is not i'm
poverished. The rich people have a
plenty of money-more than they know
what to do with, in fact. The trouble is,
that not knowing what to do with it, in
these days of torpid enterprise, they
leave it in banks and trust companies,
drawing three or four per cent. interest
Meanwhile the people, and they are the
vast majority of our citizens, who are
only prosperous or evenly decently COM
Portable or just kept above want when
