We are ordering our first shipment
OF cabbage plants shipped from Yonge's
Island, South Carolina, so as to be on
sale at The Falcon office the last Sat-
urday in February. We will try to
have regular supply received fresh
every few days then for several weeks.
We are buying the very best plants we
can get. Free from plant lice that have
infested so many gardens, free from
root rot and free from the wilt that
killed 50 many cabbage last year. They
come from the Oldest grower on Yonpes
Island, one we tried for years andlfcund
to be entirely reliable. No better
plants grow. Gail at The Falcon Of

The past weeks cold and snow have
somewhat cooled the ardor of local
gardeners but no damage was done bv
the weather. The vegetables that had
been planted were hardy aud the cover
ing of snow served to protee. them from
the coldest weatherrwe had, so that
they lived right thru It and are ID good
condition for growing with the coming
OF the first warm. days Several laugh
ed'at US about the cold on our garden.
but laugh is ours now, with our garden
safe and thrifty and nothing hurt. The
fruit, we are afraid did not stand the
cold so well and much of it seems to
70 be killed. Peaches.and plums seem
to have suffered heavily, If the crop Is
not entirely ruined.
Vegetables and chickens can not be
grown together, every gardener just as
well learn this much, and prepare right
now to keep the chickens out of the
garden. One old hen in an afternoon
can ID stroy all mans efforts for
weeks.
The snow pro's,ted the strawberries
last week from the cold and they came
thru without injury. They are just q.
bout the surest fruit crop this section
grows.
The Falcons frost proof cabbage
plants that were to arrive last Satur-
day did not show up and have not come
at this writing the first of the week.
And we are mighty glad they did not.
We expect to have these plants on hand
every Saturday from.now on, beginning
tomorrow.
A box of soil In a south window will
grow enough tomato, pepper, and egg
plants for an average family and 1t ia
mighty little trouble. ),
The time to give fruit trees,
grape vines and berry briers the DOR
mant spraying Is limited now and must
be attended to soon Ii at all this season.
Lime-sulpher solution is the spray to
use and the object Is to kill the San
Jose scale which is killing thousands Of
trees annually, The spray is too strong
TO use after leaves come out and must
be applied before.
A few rows set to strawberry plants
now will give few berries the coming
spring and a big crop year from that
time. They may be set in spring or fall.
Somerville merchants have bought
both lrsh and sweet potstoes from
other points for months past with which
tosupply their local trade. And We can
grow both rs we'll as any section under
the sun, aud grow them proiitHbly.
The Falcon published by request last
week cell for q meeting OF sweet potato
growers to be held tomorrew. Saturday.
February 26. in the court house. We
do not deserve credit for starting the
movement, bu. IL has our hearty ap-
proval and we believe could be made to
result in lots Of good to this section.
