 Beans
 String and lima beans are grown alike. There are two sorts of each low bush beans and bean vines that climb poles. Pole beans are best for small gardens.
 Plant bush beans in hills a foot apart, seeds to 1 to 2 inches deep. When plants are 6 inches high pull out half of them. Another way is to plant single seed 3 inches apart in rows.
 Plant pole beans in hills the same way, except hills must be feet apart. Thin to plants to the hill. Before planting fix firmly in each hill a pole 5 feet long. Have two rows of hills and slant the poles so that each set of may be tied together. at the top like an Indian tepee. Help the vines to start twining around the poles from right to left. Note: Plant lima beans with the 'eyes" of the seeds downward.
 Beets
 Sow seed rather thickly in row, but thin the young plants by pulling until the survivors are inches apart. The pulled plants make excellent green for cooking.
 Cabbage.
 Set plants from indoor seed boxes or pots IS inches apart in rows, the rows being yard apart. Between these rows early lettuce, radishes, and other little crops may be planted. Early cabbage should be plucked as soon as it has formed solid heads. Late cab bages may be stored in trenches and covered with straw and earth.
 Carrots.
 Sow Seeds 1-2 inch deep, using IA ounce to 25 feet or row. Thin only if roots are crowding each other.
 Caulinower.
 Grown the same as cabbages ex- cept when the heads form, the loose outer leaves should be tied together over the heads to keep out light and bleach the "curd.''
 Celery.
 Sow seeds in seed boxes and set plants in garden in June or July. inches apart. When plants are large heap earth around stalks to whiten them.
 Sweet Corn.
 Plant five or six seeds one inch deep in hills rounded up with the hoe three feet apart in rows three feet apart. When plants are four inches high pull out all but two plants in each hill. Make new plantinGs every two weeks so as to have corn in several stages of growth.
 Cuc,lmbers.
 Plant ten seeds one inch deep in hills four feet apart. Later thin to two plants per hill. Do not plant until soil is warm and fronts are over. Hoe only until plants start to vine, then pull weeds by hand.
 Eggplant.
 Little plants from seed boxes are set two feet apart in rows.
 Lettuce.
 Sow seeds one-half inch deep in rows one foot apart, and later thin out until plants are six inches apart. Provide occasional shade for plants on hot summer days.
 MuskmelOn.
 Grown like cucumbers except hills must be six feet apart.
 Onions.
 Onions will grow from seeds or from bulbs, called sets. Plant sets three inches apart in rows a foot apart. This is for early green onions. For winter dried onions plant seeds rather thickly 3-4 of an inch deep in rows and thin the plants later to three inches apart.
 Oyster Plant.
 Called vegetable oyster, and saslify. Grown like carrots except that plants must be thinned to threeinches apart
 Parsley.
 Sow seeds thinly one half inch deep later thinning plants when they crowd each other.
 Sow seeds thinly 3-4 of an inch deep in rows 1 foot apart and later thin plants to 3 inches apart. Peas should be planted at the bot tom of trenches to 6 inches deep. the seeds being covered with inches of soil. From 1 to ? pints of seed will plant 100 feet of row. As the plants grow gradually fill in trench around the stalks. Let the vines grow up on brush or poultry wire. The rows of peas should be to 4 feet apart, but it is desirable to plant double rows 1 foot apart, placing the brush between these rows. Plant peas in 2-week intervals to give a contin- uous crop.
 Peppers.
 Set young plants from seed box IS inches apart in row.
 Potatoes.
 Plant potatoes in a trench inches deep. spacing off hills 16 inches apart. Rows should be 3 feet apart, and ? or 3 pieces of potato should be drop
