Excerpt from Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue of Field, Garden and Flower Seeds, 1897 To raise good vegetables. The ground. Should be highly manured in the fall, and the manure ancl soil thoroughly mixed and pulverized. Onions should be sown as °early 1n the spring as it is possible to Work the ground. Level culture 1s the best, the old method of bedding up is wrong; it is more Work and causes the ground to dry up. Beets should be sown quite early, While the ground is cool and nioist, if sown on ground that holds its moisture well cover one inch deep. On dry ground One and one half inches deep. Beet seed has a hard nut like shell, and if there is not moisture'enough to soften this Sht 11 it will fail to come up. I Parsnips as well as beets, should be sown early. Sow on ground that Was well manured the year before, as freshly manured ground causes them to grow ill-shaped. Cover the seeds one-half inch deep. Carrots can be sown any time in the month of May, but it is better to sow before the ground gets hot and dry. Carrot seeds, 18 slow to come up, and should be sown on ground as free from weeds as possible. Cabbage. And turnips do the best on newly broken up ground. Plant cabbage ln hills two and one half feet apart, and three feet between rows; use a shovelful of fine manure in the hill With a small handful of superphosphate. Turnips want about the same treatment as cabbage, but Can be planted nearer together. Cucumbers. 'squashes and all members of the vine family, do the best on newly broken up ground. Plant cucumbers in hills four feet, apart and use good fine manure in the hill, When they first come up dust With plaster when the dew is on. When the Vines commence. To bear, if you want them to bear well, see to it that no cucumbers are allowed to go to seed on them.' Squashes require more manure than cucumbers; the ground should be well manured broadcast. With these few hints that we have given as to the proper Way to grow good vegetables, don't forget that you have got to put in the amount of labor and brains to suit the occasion. We also beg leave to call the attention of all sowers of Garden Seeds to the following: Please don't lay all the ills that befall the vegetable kingdom at the door of your Seedsman. There is no doubt that we shall have enough to answer for. Remember the following facts, that your Seedsman does not manure your ground, he has no control over the'weatherfhe cannot make the rain fall or the sun shine. And last of all he has no control over the millions of insects that invest our land. Nothing but eternal Vigilance on the part of the cultivator can beat them.
