Planting in the Field.
The field should be put in frst-class

except in cases where lettuce or other
early crops are planted, and late plant
ings made of celery in December or Jan

The two sizes should be planted in al

Planting may be done any time from No.

prove the more profitable. Using the dis

plants to the acre.

The soil between the rows should be
cultivated shallow and often. Additional
applications of fertilizer may be made
every two weeks, beginning by barring
