with their onions, radishes and other
hardy vegetables and expect to find
ready sale for their products.
When and what to plant are QueS-
tions that are worrying many of those
who are inexperienced in gardening.
For the benefit of such persons sug-
gestions prepared by the United
States department of agriculture this
season will prove of valuable. Fol
lowing is useful information fur
nished by the government experts:
Asparagus in Garden.
Asparagus should be grown in ev-
cry home garden where it will thrive,
because it is one of the earliest vege-
tables and is a valuable addition to
the spring diet. The soil for aspara-
gus should be made quite rich by the
application of partly rotted manure
before the plants are set. AS soon as
danger from hard frosts is over, the
seeds of asparagus may be sown in
the rows where the plants are to re-
main. Soaking the seed in hot water
for an hour or two before planting
will hasten termination. No shoots
should be removed the first year.
Beans Are Tender.
Beans will not withstand much
cold, so they should not be planted I'M
til danger of frost is past and the
ground begins to warm up. The first
planting should be made as soon as
the ground is reasonably warm, and
other paintings may be made at in
tervalS of ten days or two weeks until
hot weather sets in.
Lima beans should be grown in the
garden. For bunch Lima beans plant
8 or 6 inches apart in rows 80 to Sc
inches apart.
When planting beans of any kind
the seed should not be covered over .
inches.
Beets can be planted as soon as dan
ger of frost has passed, even before
the ground has become warm. Sow
the seeds in drills IA to Is inches
apart, covering to the depth of about
/ inch AS soon as the plants are we'll
UP, thin them to stand to 4 inches
apart. Make two or three paintings,
so as to have a continuous supply Of
young, tender beets throughout the
season.
Cabbage will Withstand a hard
freeze if the plants have been hard
ened off before they are planted in
the field.
How to Grow Celery.
Celery requires a deep, rich, moist
soil and frequent shallow cultivation.
When grown as a fall crop celery may
be planted after some other crop, such
as peas, beans, cabbage, lettuce or
radishes. When the celery plants are
drawn around the base to hold the
plants in place. About two weeks be-
fore they are wanted for the table the
bleaching should begin. Soil, boards
or paper may be used for bleaching
but soil should be employed only
when the weather is cool When soil
is to be used for bleaching, the rows
should be feet apart Some quick
maturing crop could be grown be-
