GROWING WAREHOUSES;.
Methods Of Sowing the Seed - Treat
ment of the Plant.

From the London Telegraph.
Although watercress is common weed in
running streams throughout the country,
1t is an unusual circumstance to meet with
it in cultivation anywhere save in the beds
of those who grow 1t for market. Yet it
will thrive to perfection In gardens. and
with little care the supply may be kept up
at all seasons. and while the family is bene-
flied by the free enjoyment of a salutary
salad, it's production will prove constant
source Of qualification to those engaged In
it's growth. simple method of growing
watercresses is to. SOW the seed now on a
fairly moist border. with northern aspect
preferred. If shallow drills are drawn be-
tween the rows of plants, water may be
supplied in these drills without disturbing
the young growths. which might easily be
washed away II water were poured imme-
diately upon them.
When the plants have grown to the
height of an inch or SO they should be thin
ned to about two inches apart. and when
they meet and begin to overlap every al
ternate plant should be withdrawn for the
table. This will constitute the first gath
ering. and will leave the plants at four
inches apart. II. owing to the soil being

rich and water plentifuly supplied, the
plants appear soon to become crowded, they
may be further thinned to eight inches
apart. and the trimmings will constitute the
second, third or fourth gatherings, after
which there should be no more plants with
Drawn The very strong plants now re-
manning in the bed may be topped as need
ful and 1t should always be borne in mind
that as topping checks the growth consid-
erably it should be carried on in a system
attic manner, beginning at one end of the
bed and proceeding regularly to the other
end. so that those first topped may have
time to recover and make strong growth
before being topped again.
1t may be proper to say that WatercresS
seed may be sown at any time from March
to September and the late sowings kept
green and tender for all the winter by
means of such protection as a frame viii
afford. Under artificial treatment the plant
is more tender than when growing in
stream, and exposure 10 severe frost will
result in the death of the plants, unless
they are covered with glass, but slight
frosts will do no harm whatever We will
suppose that summer is advancing, in
which case the plants may become wiry
and run up to flower. This natural conse-
quence can only be prevented by keeping
the growth showing signs of boiling cut
back. On the accession of cooler weather.
these older plants will make free and
fine growth from the bottom. and supply
the table again with crosses through the
autumn. Another plan is to have a sue
cesson of sowings, so that there shall be
young plants ready for when the early
sowings pushing into bloom.
Another method is to SOW the seeds at
once, in box placed in a shaded part of
the green house, and kept damp. BY May
the seedlings should be ready to set out
about six inches apart on well-manured
ground and these, if kept well watered
during summer, should soon cover the
ground and afford many pickings. They
may also be grown in pots and pans stood
in shaded corner. Filled with good loan
soil and kept in a saucer of clean rain
water, they will thrive without much trou-
BILE and produce abundant supply OF
tender crosses for a length of time. Put in
at the bottom about four inches of old NOR
tar and rubble. filling up with rough loamy
material If not grown from seeds cut
tings may be taken from a bundle bought
at the shop, but these must be fresh. Cut
them at a joint, insert firmly, water well,
and keep them close and shaded from hot
sunshine until they liven up. Watercress
seeds can be obtained at the seed shops at
Cd per packet. Those who cannot get on
with watercress light dry soils should
try land cress, which will grow anywhere
If scattered thinly. 1t is very pungent. but
if well watered the leaves retain their sue
culence for some time, and the more they
are gathered the more numerous they Do

cavalry than most people are probably
aware Of 1t is not solely a question of ar

the undoubtedly growing Discrimination
which one white man has to killing another

cessfully passed his physical examina-

the navy as midshipman last Sunday
at $50 a. m. Frank is very bright
boy and made the highest mark OF any
of the applicants who took the com
petltive examination in Augusta dur
ing April last
We had the pleasure some time ago
of reading a letter from the secretary
of the naval academy specially COM
plimenting Frank upon the high mark
that he made, which, in nearly every
study, was perfect.
No doubt it will be especially pleas
ant and gratifying to Hon. Thomas w.
Hardwick to learn that the one to
whom he gave the appointment made
decidedly the best mark OF any
of the applicants for the place. Frank
was given the appointment by Mr..
Hardwick, but afterwards decided to
take the competitive examination any
way and made the best mark of any of
the applicants.
Frank has the best wishes of his
many friends here, among whom he
was born and reared, for his future
success and they hope some day to see
him a rear-admiral in United States
navy.-McDufie Progress.
