Thinning Out the Plants

AS it has been found that there is
a tendency on the part of persons
unfamiliar with garden work to plant
too sparingly of seeds, we always ad-
wise them to plant thickly, to be
thinned out after being assured of
a good stand.
BY a good stand" Is meant that
after making allowance for some de-
ficient seeds, accidents to others. in
juries by insects. and other causes
there will be plants enough left
when thinned out to allow the ones
remaining to stand the required dis
tonce apart.
1t is a tragedy to SOW seeds too
sparingly in your garden, after all
the work of preparation, and find
that when you come to thin them
out there are not enough to pay
you for your trouble. The cost of
the best seed is so moderate that
t. does not pay to be stingy with
it when planting in the drills.
Thinning out is not so necessary
with the crops which are planted
with large seeds, or tubers, If you
are absolutely sure of your seed, but
this is rarely the case, on which ac-
count we advise thick planting of
even such crops as beans, peas and
corn, to be later thinned out.
Such seedlings as lettuce, radishes
and onions should be thinned out the
first time as soon as the plants are
large enough to handle, and it is
best done as SOON after a rain as the
ground can be worked. The first
thinning is done just far enough
apart to give the young seedlings
room for further development, the
aim being that they should not, after
this time, be allowed to touch each
other on either side. This will give
them the required light and air, and
keep them as stocky as desired.
Beans, peas, carrots. beets, par
srips, tomato and cabbage plants for
transplanting from the seed-b bed, ,
and peppers, being not planted so
thickly as those named above,
should not be thipned out until they
crowd or touch, when they are ready
for the first thinning. Ii the weather
