What to Plant

There are several things which may
be planted yet this fall, according to
Chas. Hensler. gardner. Mr.. Hensler
says that head lettuce, Chinese celery
cabbage. turnips and onions may be
put out.
Last year put out turnips as late
as August 16." said Mr.. Hensler.
Then they got SO large before frost
that they were little too large for
good eating. Head lettuce and cab
bage may be set yet from the plants
and mature. Onion sets can be put
into the ground and make fine late
green onions: but they will not get
larger than the green onion stage"
Mr. Hensler advises that if onions
are set out four or five inches deep
now they will make fine early green
onions for spring.
