THE kitchen garden should be we'll
y under way and the second planting
Of garden peas should be made. Both
the string and bush variety Of snap
beans can be sown, as we'll as the lima
bean. Early tomato plants may be set
dit, but it will be necessary to cover
hsm up with basket or other depend
Ole covering until after the middle Of
Z the month. This early start will give
tAc plants time to mature fully two
4eeks before the regular crop. Now IL
~ time to arrange an herb border. II
ypu cannot devote space for a small herb
1hrden.
Mint. sage. thyme and tarragon may
be planted from either the seed or
dump, and they will thrive and flourish
the entire summer. Chives. lcek and
Ihrsley may also be added if the space
viii permit.
Just as soon as the carrots and bcets
gre about the size of a walnut they may
Ue harvested and canned for the time
when they are scarce and high priced.
Tho French and Swiss housewives do
not can any beet that is larger than
walnut. and if you have tasted these
delicious, delicately favored bcets when
tAnned, you, too. would realize this is
the best time to can them.
Z Young carrots about two and one-half
to three inches long are also canned in
the same manner, and used as vegetable
or .garnish: :,
up and the wise housewife will sow this
week O short row of celery to have for
salads and favorings.
