MAY th.-Mrs. Gardner-"What do
you think of the weather this spring ?
After awhile we won't be able to raise
anything. Just think, here it is past the
first of May, and l have not started to
make my garden"
Mr.. Gardner-"Whv, what have you
been doing? We had some very fine
weather from the 9TH to the Goth of
April. | took advantage of it and planted
my onions, lettuce and peas"
Mrs. G.-"Yes, you may think that it
is all right to have your garden planted
under six inches of snow, but | would
rather have my seed out of the ground
until the weather gets warm"
Mr.. CT am glad that we do not
all act and think alike; but l want to
tell you that onions, lettuce and peas,
germinated at a low temperature, just
as soon as the snow is gone, will thrive,
if the soil is adapted to their culture"
Mrs. G.--Yes; but l will have lettuce,
onions and peas just as soon as you will.
When the weather is warm they will
germinate faster"
Mr.. G.-"That may be true about
terminating quicker in hot weather, but
want to say that if you have not plant
ed your onions, lettuce and peas, you
will beat me with pea vines, onion tops
and lettuce leaves, but l shall beat you
with onions, heads of lettuce and bask-
cts of peas"
Mrs. CT am going by what other
people say, and, as rule, the majority
ought to know"
Mr.. G.-"If you think that you are
eight by what the majority say about
this question, stick to it, but excuse
me, will remain with the minority
and stand by my own practical exper-
ience."
