Many Vegetables,
Grown in Summer,
Planted in Winter
BY a Government Expert.

There are a number OF vegetables
which. though grown in the sum-
mer. are usually planted for use in
the following winter. An adequate
supply Of these produced in the
home garden will do much 70 make
the family's winter fare more at
tractive and more economical.
Among garden products Of this type
may be named cabbage. carrots, par
ships. turnips and rutabagas.
Both early and late varieties Of
cabbage are grown extensively. In
the north early cabbage may be
planted in the hotbed during Feb
ruary and transplanted 10 the open
ground as soon as the soil is ready
to be worked. For a late crop il
is customary 10 plant the seeds in a
bed in the. open ground in May or
June and transplant them TO the
garden in July. For cabbage Of
this character the soil should be
heavier and more retentive of mois-
ture than for early cabbage, which
requires a rich, warm soil in or
the late variety it is not desirable
to have too rich a soil, as the heads
are liable 10 burst. Cabbages should
be set in rows 80 10 SO inches apart,
the plants standing II TO is inches
apart in the row.
To store cabbage the heads
should be buried in pits or placed
in cellars. One method is TO dig
a trench about is inches deep and
feet wide and set the cabbage up
right with the heads close together,
and the roots embedded in the soil.
When cold weather comes the heads
are covered lightly with straw and
three or four inches of earth put in.
Slight freezing does not injure cab
bage, but it should not be subjected
to repeated freezing and thawing.
Early cabbage can not be kept as it
does not stand hot weather well. 1t
should be used soon after it has
formed a solid head.

Caulifiower is cultivated in much
the same way as cabbage, but when
the heads begin TO develop the
leaves may be tied over them in or
der 10 exclude the light and keep
the heads white. Caulifiower re-
quires a rich, moist soil and thrives
best under irrigation. The tender
heads of this vegetable are boiled
with butter or cream and also used
for picking.
The roots Of the parsnip are dug
late in the fall and stored in cellars
or pits, much as cabbage is. or else
are allowed TO remain where they
are grown and are dug as required
for use. All roots not dug during
the winter, however, should be re-
moved from the garden, as they will
produce seed the second season and
become of a weedy nature. When
wild in this way the root is con-
sidered to be poisonous.
The seeds of parsnips should be
sown as early as convenient in the
spring in rows is inches TO 3 feet
apart. The plants should later be
thinned TO stand three inches apart
in the row. A rich soil with fire.
quent cultivation is necessaT-- for
success with this crop. The roots
are boiled until tender and then cut
in slices and Drowned in butter or
roasted with meat in the same way
that potatoes are.
