The Garden,

The time is now almost at hand when ac-
tive work in the garden will be in order. 1t
is never wise to begin while the ground is
wet and cold or until it is dry and warm,
places sloping to the south and protected
against the cold northern winds, where one
can commence to work some days earlier.
In the vegetable line the first crops to be
thought of are generally lettuce and radshes.
These do not take up much space and can
soon be disposed of. Nearly all vegetables
require a very rich soil, but it is especially
so with the lettuce and radish. The rhubarb-
bed should be early cleared off, the ground
stirred, when it will having been top-dressed
in the autumn, take care of itself, and il a
few weeks furnish you with your first green
fruit pies Then we must think of some ear
lv cabbage, and the seed should be sown as
early "a the ground is fit in some warm and
we'll sheltered spot. The tomato. if not in
the outdoor hot bed, should have been start
ed in the kitchen window.
After getting rid of these, the pea crop
must be started. then the early potatoes.
Thtre are some other crops which, though
ihey are not particularly early, should be at
tended 10 as soon as the ground is in proper
condition. The onion-set is one Of these.
The onion is not partial to heat, and does all
its growing in early spring. In the New
England states and the north they mature in
single season, but here the seedlings
soon dry up and have to be set out the fol-
lowing spring to get their growth. The seed
should not be sown too early in this latitude
| or the sets will grow too large if the spring
is cool and run to seed when set out the next
year, instead of forming the desired bulbs.
Then there is the satisfy and parsnip, which
also need early sowing to mature fully, the
former especially. Some parsely should
also be early at hand, and as it takes rather
long time to sprout, it should not be delayed
in getting into the ground. The okra comes
later, and should be sowed in dry and rath-
er . warm place.
When the ground gets to be pretty
warm look after the bush bean, the
beets. the early sweet corn, the squash, Gu
cumbers, the melon family, preserving citron
followed by the ever popular lima bean.
| We give these hints as mere reminders,
and they are intended for the benefit Of peo-
pie with small gardens and especially for
young beginners.
