kOHl-RA8i.

The edible portion of the kohl-rabi
is the thickened stem. 1t is closely re-
lated to cabbage and caullnower. 1t
should be started in the hotbed or win
dow box and set in the open ground
about the time of the last frost. The
method OF planting and the cultivation
is similar to that practiced for cab
page. 1t can be planted In the open
at the same time. Early sowings are
made and If thinned to 4 to G inches
apart the plants will soon grow to
edible size under favorable weather
conditions. This plant should receive
much more consideration than usually
is given 1t. 1t is really poor mans
cauliiiower.

RADIsHEs.

The radish is quite hardy and may
be grown throughout the winter in the
middle section of the United States. In
many portions of the South 1t Is pos
sible to grow 1t in the open ground
throughout the winter. For the home
garden the seed should be sown In the
open ground about the time of the last
killing frost. The seed should be sown
in drills at a convenient distance for
cultivation, usually about 1S inches.
To be of good quality, radishes must
be grown quickly in rich soil, and be
used as soon as Of sufficient size. Sue
cessive paintings should be made every
few days until the weather becomes
warm. They will not withstand hot
weather and are suited to early spring
and late autumn planting.
There are autumn varieties of rad
ishes which may be grown late In the
season and stored for winter use the
same as beets or turnips. A few of
these Will add variety to the winter
supply of vegetables.

PAR SLEY.

The seeds of parsley should be
soaked for few hours before plant
ing to insure termination. They are
slow In terminating and should be
handled very carefully. After one or
two transplantings they should be set
In the open ground in rows u to 18
inches apart and 3 to inches apart
In the rows MS early as the soil can be
put In condition. A small area devoted
to this crop will be sufficient for the
average family.
1t Is used as garnishing and for
havoring soups. Keep little of 1t
growing at all times. 1t gives pleas
Ing touch to many dainty dishes.-

PEPPERS.

Plant the seeds of peppers in the
hotbed about six weeks to two months
before time to set them in the open
ground. They should be transplanted
at least once and should not be set In
the open until the ground is thorough
ly warm. When grown in the garden
the large bull-nosed types should be
placed in rows 3 feet apart with the
plants from Is to II inches apart In
rows. Frequent shallow cultivation
should be given, and the plants will
continue to bear until frost kills them.

LIMA BEANS. ;

Lima beans should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warmed
up, ms they are heat-loving crop and
the seed will rot If planted when the
ground Is cold. Most gardeners pre-
Ter the pole varieties, as they yield
better than the bush varieties and are
superior to the bush varieties in many
other respects. One marked advan-
tage of the pole beans Is that they may
be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence as support for the vines.
In this manner a crop of beans can
be secured with the use of a minimum
amount of spacing.
When planted in rows In the gar-
den, pole lima beans are usually plant
ed In hills 3 to feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
trellis.
The bush limas are usually drilled
In rows some 31s feet apart for horse
cultivation, or slightly closer for hand
cultivation. The lima beans are full
season crop, that is, they occupy the
ground for the entire growing season,
and sufficient amount should be
planted to provide for the needs of the
family for the entire season. Any sur
plus not used green may be allowed to
dry on the vines, picked and stored
for winter use.
Lima beans constitute one of the
most satisfactory crops for growing
for winters use as the only care ne
cessary to save them is to pick the ripe
pods. dry them thoroughly and shell
the beans. In the northern portion of
the country where lima beans do not
thrive. pole beans of the Lazy wife
variety will give satisfaction.

ASPARAGUS.

Ihls crop is one of the most endur-
rug and satisfactory vegetables. 1t
eau De grown ON almost any we'll
uraiheu soil, but will do best on deep
sunny loan. There is little POSSIBLE
ity OF having the ground too rich. and
hperal applications of partly rotted
barnyard manure should be made be-
lore the plants are set. The seeds of
asparagus may be sown during the
spring in rows where the plants are to
remain, and the seedlings thinned to
stand ID feet apart in rows.
1t is usually more satisfactory to
purchase two-year-old roots. as con-
siderable time is saved In this way.
AS the asparagus bed is permanent
feature of the garden, 1t should be To-
Gated accordingly. Before setting the
plants the soil should be loosened very
deeply, either by subsoil plowing or by
deep spading. 1t is good plan to re-
move the top soil and spade manure
Into the subsoil to a depth of ii or 16
inches. The plants may be set in
rows for horse cultivation or in beds.
If In rows they should be set IA inches
apart, with the rows 3iS feet apart.
If In beds, one foot apart each way is
the proper distance to set the plants.
In setting the plants the crowns should
be covered or 8 inches deep.
In the North the plants should re-
celve mulch of 4 or inches of ma
nure in winter. In the South the
mulch is not necessary, but the plants
should receive a coat of manure or an
application of fertilizer, preferably in
autumn.
No shoots should be removed during
the first year the plants are set in the
permanent bed, and the period of cut
ting should be short during the second
year.

COlLARDS.

The culture and uses of collards are
the same as for cabbage. The plants
should be started In very early spring
and set out as soon as the ground is
In condition. They withstand the heat
better than cabbage and are much
used in the southern portion of the
country. Collards do not form true
head, but instead Il loose rosette of
leaves, which, when blanched. are
very tender and of delicate flavor.
No southern garden is complete
without this plant. Too often, how
ever, 1t has constituted the sum total
In the shape of garden supplies. Use
1t, but don't abuse 1t.
