Such vegetables as leaf lettuce,
kale, spinach, parsley, chard, turn1p,
mustard and any other used as a
green or salad may be gathered as
soon as large enough to pay for'the
gathering. 1t is an excellent plan TO
make a practice of thinning these
crops and using the plants removed
as greens or for other purposes.
Chard must be used while young as
it soon passes it's best stage. akale
shuld be used while relatively young,
as when young it is of much better
quality than when allowed to- be-
come large. 1t Is a far better plan to
make frequent successive paintings
of the foliage crops so as to have
supply of tender, succulent greens
or salad material continually avail
able.
4 Globe artichokes are ready for use
as soon as the bur is formed and must
be gathered before the blossoms ap-

turnips or kohl-rabi. Ill. l.
sy Jerusalem artichokes are used in
the same way as potatoes. They are
ready for use in the autumn and may
remain in the ground until needed.
Asparagus is ready for use as soon
ais the young shoots are three or four
inches long. If allowed to grow too
long the shoots will become tough
and moody. z. ~. KS - ~,

soon as the bean is about half formed.
In the stringless varieties the pods
may be allowed to remain on the
plant little longer than the other
sorts, but in every case they should
be gathered while young and tender.
Lima beans should be gathered as

Watermelons.-Rip is deter
mined by sound, and by the general
appearance. A ripe melon when
struck with the hand gives dull

after a few trials.

pods are very young and tender and
while the seeds are still soft. 1.
Onions may be pulled and used as

from quarter to a half inch in dia-

bulbs may be any size. @

in fact, it is not considered advisable
to use them as summer vegetable.

beans become white they are past

Beets should be used while young
and tender. The beets may be thin
ned as soon as they are two or three
inches tall and the ones that are re-
moved can be used in greens. The
entire crop should be used before
they are more than two inches in

intervals of two weeks are advisable
so that a. supply of tender beets will

Chinese cabbage is ready for use

Carrots may be used as soon as
they reach a size to justify pulling
them. Many, gardeners follow the
practice of thinning the carrots and
using those removed as vegetables or
in soups. They, may be grown as an
all-season crop or as a late crop fol-

For some purposes they are allowed
to ripen, but usually are picked green.
Early potatoes may be used at any
time during their growth. An old
time rule is to begin digging them
when they have reached the size iof
hens egg. 1t is advisable to. be-
gin using them when they have
reached this size, digging the sup
ply from day to day as needed, al
lowing the bulk of the crop to grow
until needed or until they mature.
Late potatoes should be allowed to
grow until the vines die or are. kill
ed by frost. 49,
Sweet potatoes are of poor quality
unless allowed to reach maturity.
The simplest test is to break one of
the potatoes. If drops of water col
lect on the broken surface the crop
it not mature. This crop grows I'M
til frost kills the vines but it is
Uerml ssable to use them quite a
while before the end of the growing
season.
.Radishes may be used as soon as
large enough. A common practice
is to begin thinning them as soon as
used while young and tender.
Satisfy Is grown and handled in
the same way as parsnips and the
same rules may be followed in it's
use. 49,.
Summer squashes are ready for use
as soon as large enough. They, how
ever, should not be picked when very
small, as when< young they are
watery and of poor quality. As soon
as the shell hardens they are too old
for table use.
Winter squashes should be allow
ed to grow until the vines die or
until frost kills them, but the squash
es should be stored before being
frosted.
Tomatoes should be picked when
fully ripe, but should not be allowed
to, remain on the vines until solf. 1t
is not good practice to pick them
while partly fipe, as the flavor is in
jured by, this practice. .
Turnips for greens may be used
as soon as the foliage is large enough
to justify picking; if for the roots,
when the roots are from 1 " to- 2
inches in, diameter. When planted
as a late summer crop for roots for
storage, they should be allowed to
grow until hard freezing occurs.
Those from to 8 inches in diameter
are best. Larger ones may be used
foR stock feed.
