We are planting this seek our second

two of bests, two Of cabbage, and will
try to keep up he succession of fresh
vegetables right along thgn the sum
mer. This is the way to make the
garden pay for Itself.
A number of plots in our garden is
now growing its secOrd crop of the
present year and others will be at it
as fast as the present crop comes off.
Early peas planted by the fence in Jan
usry have heen in nae two weeks or
more. and as soon as they finish bear
ing butter beans will be TlWtsd in the
same row. Where tuinip "a I'D was is
now in kra, eau flower, celery. toma-

as one crop ls off. another is planted,

in the growing season.
A few early celery plart' were trans
planted this week for esilI all bleach
ing and use, but the winter celery Is
just now upgJod aud viii be transplant
ed several weeks from nuw.
The potato bug has made bis appear
ance in our patch and We nave dpsed
him heavily with arsenate OF lead, a
deadly poison. Paris Green will answer
the same purpose, but The arsenate of
lead disolves in water much easier and
hence is more convenient, and being
white can be seen better on the plants.
and there is less danger of burning the
foliage by getting too much. pJIsoning
is the only remedy for control of the pest.
IL is about time to quit Using the as
paragus now if one wants tie est
growth for another years crop. IL has
produced abundantly this season and
now deserves to be allowed 10 grow
the balance Of the season TO slote up
strength for next years crop.
1t lie time TO be picking out the plot
for the crop of late potatoes. The
bestEstand of Triumphs we ever go' for
the second crop was when we dug the
first crop on June 2S. cut the little 90.
tstoes half in two and planted back in
the same rows the same afternoon they
were dug, and covered with four fur
rows with turning plow, allowing to
stay in that shape two or three weeks,
then narrowing, and in week or two
again covering deeper with the tu.aing
plow and later narrowing again, thus
working the ground just as if the plants
were up. The second crop was much
better than the first, and we are going
to try It again this year II our plans
do not 90 wrong. Will also plant some
Red Ripper and some Lookout Mount
aims.
A few h liz OF melons will well repay
the labor spent in planting and cultiva-
ting them. And grown and pulled right
at home they are better. 1t is time to
get them in now, some melons sold for
more than 81 each here last season and
they are pretty sure TO be high enough
again when summer comes, but il is
too late to plant then and the only plans
are pay the price or do without.
Many a thousand sweet potato plants
we're set out in this section last week
and the present week and the
work goes right on. The home
supply of plants is better than for
several years, but is then not one
tenth the demand. More than $4,000
are known to have been sold in Somer-
vile last Saturday. and many others
were scld the first Of the present week.
And il has bsen . mighty good time
to put them out.
