grow vegetables, say specialists of tn,
U. S. department of agriculture, but nj
time should be lost. If you have moi
already done so, pillow your garden al
once and get the crops in at the earliest
possible moment.
| If space is limited, select the crops the
members of your family like best. Grow
as many things as possible for winter
use. Such vegetables as potatoes, on.
| ions, cabbage, carrots, and beets may be
| kept in their natural state for winter
use, and should be included, therefore, in
the garden.
There is yet time to grow any of the
following: Beans, both lima and string
beets, cabbage (from plants, carrots,
corn, cueumbers, eggplant from plants
lettuce, melons, okra, parsley, parsnips,
peppers from plants, potatoes, rad
ishes, satisfy, squash, onion, and toma-
toes from plants.
The following cultural suggestions are
made for the crops which may yet be
planted with fair chances of success
throughout most of the zone:
Beets.--Beets may be planted at any
time from now on. The young, tender
beets make fine greens, and every gar
dener should make an immediate plant
ing, so there will be an ample supply
Sow in rows Is to Is inches apart for
hand cultivation, or 2 to pa feet apart
for horse cultivation. The plants
should be thinned to to inches apart
in the row.
Cabbage-Cabbage plants should be
set out at once. Set the plants in rows
2 to feet apart and IA to Is inches
apart in the rows. Sixty five to 80
plants are required for hundred foot
row.
Carrots-Sow the seed in orws Is to
Is inches apart for hand cultivation or
2 to 2h feet apart for horse cultivation.
The plants should be thinned to to 4
inches apart in the rows. One ounce of
seed is sufficient for hundred foot row.
Lettuce-Sow the seed in rows Is to
is inches apart Thin the plants until
they stand to 10 inches apart. The
young plants may be used for salad A
half of seed is sufficient for a
row.
Plants from hotbeds or cold frames, if
not already transplanted to the garden,
should be placed there at once. Set in
rows Ia to Is inches apart and place
plants 3 to inches apart in the row.
Parsnips.--The rows may be as close
as 10 to Is inches apart if hand cultiva-
tion is to be given. The soil must be
fine and rich. One -half ounce of seed is |
ample for hundred foot row. Thin the |
plants until they stand to inches |
apart in the rows.
Radishes.-Sow the seed in rows IL to |
Is inches apart for hand cultivation.
Have the soil fine. One ounce of seed is |
,nough for hundred foot row.
Beans, string.-Plant in rows 2is feet |
part for either horse or hand cultiva-
ion, and TO inches apart in the
ows. A pint of seed is sufficient for
hundred foot row. Make paintings at in
ervals of ten days up TO the first of
July.
Lima beans, pole.-Plant in hills to 4
eet apart for horse or hand cultivation.
half pint of seed is sufficient for
hundred foot row. Bush limas should Il
'e planted in rows 2h feet apart for
Iand cultivation, or feet apart for
orse cultivation. Space the seeds 9 to
0 inches apart in the rows.
Cucumbers.--Plant to 10 seeds in a
ill, spacing the hills 5 feet apart each
ray, and thin to or plants, or SOW
he seed in rows to feet apart When
lanted in rows, the plants should be
bout Is inches apart but the seed
hould be sowed much thicker, the
lants being thinned later. A half-ounce
seed is sufficient for a hundred foot
wv.
Squash.-The bush varieties should be
lanted in hills 4 feet apart each way,
nd the running varieties to 10 feet
part each way. 0ne-half ounce of seed
sufficient for a hundred foot row of
Their the bush or running varieties.
Muskmelons-The culture of the
uskmeon is the same as the cucumber
Icept that the plants are usually given
ore space. Plant to 10 seeds in a
II, spacing the hills 8 feet apart each
ay. Another method is to SOW in
ills 6 feet apart and thin to single
ants Is to "a inches apart.
Watermelons.--The culture of the wa
rmelon is the same as the muskmelon,
cent that the plants require more
