Early gardening is a pastime which ia

citizens. 1t is the ambition of the amateur
gardener to have green peas, picked from
vines in his garden. by the Fourth Of

In some places are pushing their delicate
green leaves up out of the earth. 1t is not
TOO late to plant peas, however, in this climate.

Champion and Black Eye cannot be excelled
They are late, but very prolific Cucumbers
are started indoors to large extent. and
transplanted: but many prefer 10 plant the
seed in the outdoor hills where they are
10 grow Tomato plants are now almost
universally purchased from owners of hot
houses. 1t hardly pays to bother with them
when they can be bought SO low. Maine
Is gaming great reputation for raising and
canning the best sweet corn in the country.
Crosby's or Moore's Early, or Minnesota. are
good varieties for the garden. Stowei.'s
Evergreen and Burr's Mammoth and Black
Mexican are excellent kinds to last until early
frosts- In well regulated garden there
should be plenty Of beets for greens. Space
should be devoted to lettuce. ,urnips, onions,
radishes and caulilowers. Plant few rows
of early potatoes and string beans. Enrich
your land thoroughly, keep an account of
your time, and then see if your vegetables
don't cost you about twice as much as if YOU
bought them at the grocery stores.
