WATER M ELONS. [.

The watermelon requires consider able room, and unless there is an abundance of space available it should not be planted in the garden.
 It Is a heat-loving 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 well-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 hill. For full directions as to the con trol of insects and diseases affecting the watermelon, see Farmers Bulletin S56, entitled Control of Disease and Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable Garden"

CAULIFLOWE FER.

The cauliflower requires rich, moist soil, and thrives best under irri- gation It will not withstand as much frost as cabbage. but is very sensitive to hot weather To make a success of the crop 1t Is best to plant 1t about the time of the last killing frost In spring, using plants grown i'll the hot bed or window box. This gives it time to mature before hot weather comes. The rows need not be more than 219 to 3 feet apart for horse cultivation, or 24 to 30 inches apart for hand work. The plants should be from II to Is 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 one of the aristocrats of the garden. If you succeed in grow ing high-grade cauliflower you will qualify as q good gardener.
The Monticellonian., 1918-03-22
SPINACH.

Spinach thrives in a rather cool cli mate and attains its best development in the middle South, where it can be grown in the open ground during the winter. Farther north 1t is necessary to protect the plants during the win ter with a mulch of straw or leaves. To produce good spinach rich loam which will give the plants q 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 as that planted in the spring. One ounce of seed Is sufficient for a 100-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 of its kind that will give as good satis- 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 Il chance to develop.
The Monticellonian., 1918-03-22
ONIONS.

Onions can be produced on almost any 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 ? 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 ei- ther by starting the seed in the hotbed and transpanting to the open ground or by drilling in rows directly in the garden. With good soil and proper care it is possible to produce goed sized bulbs from seed in a single sea son.
 Onions require frequent shallow cul- riyation, and it 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 as 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 he formed at the ex- pense of the bulbs

Distribute Hand Labor.

It Is. of course, possible to do the work just as well by hand, but 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 1t is especially desirable that the spading be done as early as possible. as the sooner it is done the easier it will be to get the ground in condition. The ground should be 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. It 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 week or two earlier by following this plan.
The Monticellonian., 1918-03-22
MUSkM ELONS.

A sandy loam with plenty of we'll routed manure incorporated in the soil is well adapted to the production of muskmelons. The muskmelon is 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.
 It 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. It 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 feet apart. thinning the plants until they are from IS inches to 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

U. s~pEP'r. OF AGRICULTURE HOWT0sG :;'' QM GARDEN PEAS. lp

Early peas require rather rich sandy loam with good drainage in or der that the first paintings may be made early In the spring. Fertilizers that are high in nitrogenous matter should not be applied to the land im- mediately before planting, as they will have tendency to produce too great growth of vines at the expense of pods. Land that has been manured the previous year will be found satis- factory without additional fertilizer. While the sandy loam is to be pre- ferred for early varieties, a good crop can be produced on almost any good soil.
 The first plantings should be of such varieties as Alaska, or some of its notifications, which make 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 100- foot row. The individual peas should be placed about l 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 315 feet apart.
 good scheme is to plant two par allel rows of peas about 6 or s inches apart, then leave space of IS inches or two feet and plant two more rows of seed close together. Fewer strings port them than when planted in single rows at the greater distance.
 If peas are to be grown for immedi ate use only, a quart will be enough to plant at one time However, if 1t Is desired to grow peas for canning, large plantings should be made. If space Is available, 1t is an excellent plan to make considerable planting at 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- rieties of peas should be made at in- tervals of about two weeks, until the weather begins to grow warm, when the plantings should be discontinued. It is possible in some sections to grow a fall crop of peas. When this is done, early varieties should be used.
