which cover the subject of planting
broadly. II When heavy frosts are
over. plant early peas. onion sets and
seed, early potatoes. kale. lettuce and
spinach. All of these will stand light
freezing except potato plants which
should be covered with dirt when frost
threatens. q When frosts are about

heetss late peas and early sweet corn,
and set out cabbage and canlihower
plants. :. When ali frosts are over
and apple trees are In bud, plant string
beans and late sweet corn, and set
out few early tomato plants from
the indoor boxes. 4. When apple trees
have finished biossoming plant cucun-
