BEETS.

Beets are an important crop with market gardeners. They succeed best in deep, rich sandy loam. Early varieties should be sown as early as the ground can be worked, and for a succession every two weeks to first of July. For winter crop sow in May. Seed germinates quicker if soaked in warm water six hours but care should be taken not to plant soaked seed in very dry ground, as it is liable to die.

CABBAGE.

[image: Drawing/Scratchboard illustration of cabbage plant. Caption— EXCELSIOR PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH.]

Sow early sorts in hot-bed in February and March, or in open ground as soon as it can be worked. Later and winter crops in May or June, in shallow drills, six inches apart,. When the plants are 4 inches high, transplant into richly manured ground; the early kinds 2 feet apart, the fall and winter varieties 3 feet apart. The ground should be deeply loosened and worked thoroughly and often to produce solid heads.

For Winter and Spring use lift the plants before severe frost sets in. Select the driest and most sheltered part of the garden, and bury the roots, stump, and a portion of the head in the ground, and when the weather is severe cover with straw and a light covering of earth. The crop of seed is very short this year.

CELERY.

Sow seed in open ground, in light, sandy soi1, in April, and thoroughly firm the soil; keep shaded, moist and clean of weeds. Clip the tops two or three times, to make the plants stocky, before transplanting, which should be done in July in trenches eight inches deep and 3 feet apart for dwarf and 4 for tall varieties. Cultivate often for 2 months when it will be time to commence "earthing up," which should be done by degrees as the plants grow, being careful not to allow any soil to get tnto the center of the plant. Store in trenches in well drained, open ground,12 inches wide and of sufficient depth so the tops of the Celery will be six inches above the surface which must slope to carry off the surface water. Set plants closely together in an upright position. On the approach of severe cold weather, cover gradually (to prevent heating) with hay or leaves, and boards to keep out moisture. Tbe stalks will blanch perfectly and may be taken out: at any time during the Winter.

Onion. The Onion thrives best on very rich, loamy soil. Unlike most vegetables, it flourishes when cultivated on the same land for many successive years. If possible, plow ground in fall. Sow 4 pounds of seed per acre as early in Spring as soil can be worked, which must be thoroughly pulverized and leveled, in drills 15 inches apart; cover one-half inch. Commence hoeing soon as rows can be seen; skim the ground over the surface; avoid stirring deeply and work the soil away from the bulbs. At second hoeing weed thoroughly and carefully by hand; thin plants to 3 inches in the row. When the tops die, pull and spread evenly over the ground; stir or turn until fully dried, when cut the tops one-half inch from the bulb. To keep onions through Winter, a cool, dry, outside cellar, (those under dwellings being usually too warm,) or barn may employed, any cool, (not freezing) dry well ventilated room will do. If in a barn, protect on all sides with two feet of good straw. Do not pile them in more than 10 inch layers between the straw. Freezing does not injure if not allowed to thaw and freeze again. To grow sets from seed, sow very early and thick in drills. When tops die down (about middle of July) they are ready to harvest. For the cultivation of onions we know of no tools so useful as Comstock's Horticultural Implements and Planet, Jr., tools. For a description, see back part of Catalogue, or send for special circulars. We take very little stock in any of the new foreign onions. Our seed is grown from bulbs selected for perfect shape and small necks. Price is as low as first class seed can be sold at. Per Paper, Five Cents. ... OZ. ... 1/4 LB. ... LB.
