RAINS BENEFIT.

Just little work, little study of
the plants most adapted TO your par
ticular character of soil and-presto,
fresh vegetables on the dinner table.
Early fall rains seed dealers declare,
are sufficient to prepare the ground
for planting. September is the month
in which planting should be done. If
the sale of seed is any indication, one
dealer said, the vegetable man this fall
is going to find a strong competitor
in the thrifty housewife.

FLOWERS, TOO.

Onion seeds and sets are favoritcs
with home gardeners here, one seed
dealer asserted. Other vegetables
which thrive here and which do well
if planted in September, include beets,
colIards, cabbage. cauliflower, carrots,
mustard, lettuce, peas, spinach and
turnips.
While the housewife is making her
fall vegetable garden, she also is beau
tifying her front yard, as indicated by
the sale of seeds for flower planting.
Sweet peas, which bloom the spring
following, hollyhocks, marigolds, phlox,
peoples, pausies and Sweet William
can be planted advantageously in the
fall.
