which Joseph and Mary are said to
have concealed themselves before
their fight into Egypt to escape the
evil designs of Herod. The snowy

PLANTlNC-TIME SOON

Flowers.

Don't forget that the peas, fiowcring

The trenches for the peas should be pre-

soon as the condition of the weather and
soil will permit-the earlier the better,

Lettuce is easily started in boxes in
the house. or, If there is furnace in the
cellar, with a window in the apartment
through which the sun may reach the
box part of the day, the boxes may be
set there, and when the ground gets in
condition to work the lettuce should be
ready to transplant. All hardy vege-
tables, such as beets, radishes, turnlps,
peppers, ETC., can be started in the house
with much saving of time.
The common ruffled parsley, used SO
freely as garnish for many dishes and
as flavoring for others, is easily raised.
Seeds should be sown early in boxes in
the house, or in the hot bed, or, later, in
the open ground. The seeds germinate
readily. When fully grown, cold and
freezing weather does not harm the
parsley, and it can be had green all win
