LATE WORK IN THE GARDEN
Onion Bed Set In Fall-Select Sweet
Corn Seed From Growing Plant
Burbank Plan.
fBy BESSIE L. PuTNAM.l


II you are fond Of young onions DO
not fail to set out a bed Of top
onions" for the very earliest use In
the spring. They do not form bulbs
but are more In form like scullions.
Yet in early spring it is indeed re-
freshing to be able to find an onion
bed ready for use. The tops OF the
seed stalk produce small bulbs which
should be set in autumn, and thus
the stock removed from year to year.
While the plant is perennial, the bulbs
are more tender when grown each
year from bulbs planted In the au-
tumn.
Select your seed sweet corn from
the growing plant, noting not only
the size and evenness of the ear and
grains, but the number produced on
stalk. Turn the husks back, using
them to braid the ears together. You
then have a convenient package for
hanging up to dry.
Save your squash seeds from the
first really good Hubbard that ma
lures. Like begets like and II you
wait until the late ones are ripe you
simply make a selection that win pro-
duce later fruit another year. The
Burbank plan has many applications
which the ordinary gardener VIII do
well to observe.
Keep the late root crops growing.
If the soil is lumpy or the goldenrod
gets in, the wheel hoe and the weed
cutter will remedy this in short order.
