ONIONS.

Onions can be produced on almost
my good garden soil, and constitute
one of the standard crops found in al
most every garden. The usual plan In
the home garden Is to plant sets In
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd of cultivation to be followed. The
sets need not be more than 2 or 3
inches apart In the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore frOsts are over. Some kinds may
be planted in the autumn. The potato
or multiplier onion can be planted from
sets in the autumn and will produce
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed ell
Their by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplanting to the open ground
or by drilling In rows directly in the
garden. With good soil and proper
care 1t Is possible to produce good
sized bulbs from seed In a single sea
son.
Onions require frequent shallow cul-
tivation, and 1t may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep
the crop free from weeds.
If 1t Is desired to use the onions rs
green or bunch onions they may be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough, otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach matur-
ity. If the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed.
or the seed will be formed at the cx-
pense of the bulbs

Here Is Il group of suits for spring
that ever the Impractical eye-at Il
glance~will perceive to be quite I'M
like the suits Of yesterday. Their de-
signers have wandered into green
fields and pastures new, gathering
ideas. and are displaying the results
of their wanderingS now in suits that
have many interesting style features.
They appear to have centered atten-
ton on coats and 10 have agreed that
skirts shall be plain, hang straight, or
show IA little narrowing toward the
bottom, and reach at least to the shoe
top.
In coats the most noticeable innO-
walton Is the uneven line at the bottom
of the coat skirt. There is only IN
occasional coat that is even at the bot
tom edge, but this variety is good
style always. Another new feature In
coats is the fitted-in lines at the back,
which are achieved by new methods of
cutting and shaping, that almost vie
with semititted models in point of num-
bers. There are many coats that fail
to close at the front, and some whose
only closing point IS mt the waistline.
These open models are worn with light
waistcoats in some cases, or over
blouses that are glimpsed to the waist.
At the left Of the picture a very
graceful and clever coat has pointed
fronts and its skirt Is set OF to a

IMUSKM ELONS.

A sandy loan with plenty of we'll
rOtted manure Incorporated in the soil
Is well adapted to the production OF
muskmelOns. The muskmelOn is a heat
loving crop, requiring a long growing
season, about four months, and cannot
be planted until the ground has be-
come warm. For this reason 1t Is USE
less to attempt to grow the muskmelOn
In sections where the growing season
Is not sufficiently long or where the
temperature is not uniformly high. The
northern portion of the United States
Is not suited to the growing of this
crop for the reasons cited above.
1t is advisable to start the plants
in berry boxes. or on sOds In the hot
bed, transferring these to the open
ground after the ground has become
warm. In this way considerable time
can be saved and much better results
obtained. 1t is a good plan to place
plenty of well-rotted manure In the
hills, which should be about 6 feet
apart. Sufficient seed should be plant
ed so that four good strong plants may
be had In each hill. Another plan Is
to SOW in drills In rows 6 or Z feet
apart. thinning the plants until they
are from IS inches to 2 feet apart In
the rows.
Cultivation should be frequent and
thorough until the vines begin to run.
After this the only cultivation required
is to keep weeds down.
Muskmelons are liable to be attack
ed by several diseases and have at

ripple in the skirt of the coat, which
slopes upward from the front and
across the back. Some models of this
kind are very short at the back. The
collar and cuffs are of satin with white
polka dots and the skirt narrOws to-
ward the hem.
At the right of the picture the suit

in the other suit. Its coat slopes down
In a curved line across the back, and

CAUlIFlOWE r.

The cauliflower requires II rich,
moist soil, and thrives best under irrl-
CATION. 1t will not withstand as much
frost as cabbage, but is very sensitive
to hot weather. To make Il success of
the crop it is best to plant 1t about
the time of the last killing frost In
spring, using plants grown In the hot
bed or window box. This gives 1t time
to mature before hot weather comes.
The rows need not be more than 2h
to 3 feet apart for horse cultivation,
or ~ to 30 inches apart for hand work.
The plants should be from IA to IL
inches apart in rows. The culture Is
the same as for cabbage until the
heads begin to develop, after which
the leaves may be tied together over
the heads to exclude the light and
keep heads white.
This crop is n of the a%ristocrats
of the garden. If you succeed in grow

styles. .ASSOrtinrntS are so wide IN
suits that every woman may have the
satisfaction Of satisfying her own style
and preferences when she makes II Sc
lection.
The drcSsy. separate silk skirt has
made II history for itself that insures
its welcome every season, but its
Its rival, the sports skirt, has pro-
NOTED It; success for the separate
skirt Of silk Is sure and deserved, ami
there Is no end to the variety In silks
and color combinations that make it Il
thing of beauty this spring.
Two or three shades of n color in
stripes and plaids, or combinations or
contrasting cOlOrS, or colOrs with cross
bars in black or white, in as many de-
signs as we find in ginghams, make
the choice unlimited. but so far stripes
have been developed into the most at
trnctive of the new skirts.
The season is dominated by two
styles, each with many variations. one
Is the skirt laid in plaits about the
waistline and the other Is the TUNE
skirt. The plated skirt is not 81 new
as the tunir, but it is too good look
ing, and may be fitted with too much
good style for women to leave it out
of their reckoning.

ever in length. They are i%ngoninusiy

ATERM ELONS.

The watermelon requires consider
able room. and unless there is an
abundance of space available it should
not be planted in the garden.
1t Is a heat-lOvlng plant and the
seeds should not be planted in the
open until the ground Is warm. This
will be about one month after the last
hard frost. They do best in n sandy
soil, and require plenty OF w%ell-rOtted
manure for their best development.
The usual method Is to plant them In
hills made up with plenty of we'll
rOtted manure, about 10 feet apart
each way. Some eight or ten seeds
should be placed in each hill, and when
the plants are well established they
should be thinned to four plants in a
hill. For full directions rs to the con
troll Of insects and diseases affecting
the watermelon, see Farmers Bulletin

Distribute Hand Labor.

It Is, of course, possible to do the
work lust as well by hand. but a con-
siderable amount of labor is involved.
For small areas, however, this meth
cd Is the only practical one. When
the garden Is to be worked by hand II
is especially desirable that the spading
be done as early as possible, as the
sooner 1t Is done the easier it will be
to get the ground in condition. The
ground should he worked down only
as needed, as this will distribute the
labor; and as the rough ground will
dry off quicker than that smOothed
down, it is possible to get on the
ground sooner If left in the rough than
when well worked down. 1t is ex-
tremely desirable to get such crops
as early peas. early potatoes, and early
cabbage plants in as soon as the
ground Is dry enough, and 1t is often
possible to get these crops planted a
week or two earlier by following this
plan.

U:s~ess.r. or Aes!eygrJRe
@ e4..+. PEAS. D

Early peas require n rather rich
sandy loan with good drainage In Or
der that the first paintings may be
made early In the spring. Fertilizers
that are high In heterogeneous matter
should not be applied to the land I'M
mediately before planting, as they Will
have a tendency to produce too great
growth Of vines at the expense OF
pods. Land that has been manfred
the previous year will be found salts
factory without additional fertilizer.
While the sandy loan is to be pre-
ferred for early varieties, n good crop
can be produced on almost any good
soil.
The first paintings should be of such
varieties as Alaska. or some of Its
notifications. which make Il small but
quick growth and may or may not be
provided with supports. These should
be planted about two weeks before the
date Of the last killing frost, or in fact
may be planted as soon as the ground
Is in condition. The tall-growing sorts
Of the Telephone type are desirable
for still later use, on account of their
large production and excellent quality.
Peas should be drilled in rows, one
to two pints being sufficient for Il 100
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about / inch apart In the
rows. The distance between rows will
depend upon the kind Of cultivation
to be employed, and upon the varieties
used. The dwarf varieties need not be
any farther apart than necessary to
insure cultivation, while the tall-grow'
ing sorts should not be planted closer
than 3 to 3h feet apart.
A good scheme Is to plant two par
allel rows Of peas about 6 or . inches
apart, then leave a space of Is inches
or two feet and plant two more rows
of seed close together, Fewer strings
or less brush will be required to sup
port them than when planted in single
rows at the greater distance.
If peas are to be grown for immedi'
ate use only, q quart will be enough To
plant at one time. However, If 1t Is
desired to grow peas for canning, large
paintings should be made. If space
Is available. it is an excellent plan tC
make considerable planting ut one time
Of some one variety, so that the peas
for canning will be available In con
siderable quantities. This enables the
housewife to get the canning out OF
the way in a comparatively short time
Successive paintings Of the various va
rietles Of peas should be made at In
tervals of about two weeks, until the
weather begins to grow warm. wher
the paintings should be discontinued
It Is possible In some sections tt
grow a fall crop Of peas. When thi:
Is done, early varieties should be used

SPINACH.

Spinach thrives In a rather cool ell
mate and attains its best development
in the middle South, where 1t can be
grown in the open ground during the
winter. Farther north it is necessary
to protect the plants during the win
ter with a mulch of straw or leaves.
To produce good spinach a rich loan
which will give the plants a quick
growth Is required. Fall planting Is
to be recommended wherever this Is
possible, as the fall-planted spinach Is
not as much inclined to go to seed ms
that planted in the spring. One ounce
Of seed is sufficient for Il 1OO-foot row,
and this crop may be sOwn in drills
about l foot apart.
Spinach is an easily grown garden
crop. and there is perhaps no other or
Its kind that will give as good salts
faction. In gathering spinach the en-
tire plant is removed rather than mere
ly cutting off the leaves. The larger
plants are selected first, and the
smaller ones are thus given II chance
to develop.
