Toronto.) Having discussed the methods of preparing the garden soil to receive the seed we now turn to the Lowing et the seed itself. There is no need to hurry the sowing ot the seed. Bet- ter results will be obtained if the amateur gardener will wait until the soil is warm and easily worked. The vegetables discussed are arranged as nearly as possible according to the time they should be planted. LE -wool:. Lettuce is grown for its leaves, and is our best known salad plant. It is a short -season plant, and is often grown to follow or precede another crop. It is quite hardy and may be planted quite early in the spring, grown to matur- ity, and followed with a tender crop such as tomatoes, or it may be plant- ed between any plants of the cabbage family. It is a good plan in a small garden to plant only a few feet at one time and follow this with suc- cessive plantings made every ten days or two weeks until July let. The Lettuce seed may be sown In rows comparatively thinly at a depth of a quarter of an inch. The plants should be thinned to stand. two inches apart. If one desires large single heads of lettuce the plants should be thin- ned to stand from seven to nine inches apart. The thinnings may be transplanted to another part of the garden. RADISH. The radish plant is grown for its roots, which are eaten raw just as soon as they are large enough to use. It is quite hardy, and may be planted very early in the spring. Radishes are frequently sown with other crops which are not such rapid growers, such as pars- nips. They should, however, be pulled out before the parsnips or other crops need the ground. Suc- cessive planting is also advised for this crop. Radish seed may be planted in rows, four inches apart or broadcasted, the depth preferred be- ing from a quarter to half an inch only. Radish ae a general rule re- quire no thinning, and the soil be- tween the rows should be kept loose with the hoe. A crop of winter radish may be obtained if the seed is sown about the first of August. These should be thinned out to three inches HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSIONS • dl vii! •ca 7:7 - IL 1 7r411 MAY 8th TO OCTOBER 38th Every TUESDAY '' ALL RAIL" - also by THURSDAY'S STEAMER "Great Lakea Routes", (Swoon Navigation) Your Future is in the West The fertile prairies have put Western Canada on the map.

SPINACH Spinach isa short seaeon crop which' is hoof! to pro- vide table greens. The plant matures in about six weeks from planting, and seed should be sown very early in the sprig, as the plants run to seed during the hot summer months. The seeds may be planted in rows or broadcasted, and should be sown at a depth of one half inch. Successive planting may be made if so desired. When the leaves are large enough to use they may be pulled off or the whole plant may be cut from the root. ONION. The onion is grown for seasoning, pickling, and for eating raw.' A large percentage of onions stored for winter use are grown from seed planted in the soil very early in the spring. The soil should be rich, moist and well drained, but fresb manure is not the best to apply. The seeds should be planted at a depth ot about one-half inch, and the rows should be from twelve to fourteen inches apart. The seed should be planted very thinly so that there will be no need for extra thinning of the onions. Cultivation should cease when the onion tops are such a size as to prevent easy work. In the fall when the tops are about two-thirds died down the onions should be pull- ed aid laid in windrows so arranged that the bulbs are covered with the tops of the onions. This prevents any sunburn which causes consider- able trouble in storage. After they have been kept in this position for five or six days they may be gathered up and placed in a slat box or basket and tied up some way so that .the rain will not get at them and the wind will have plenty of chance to circulate around the bulbs. The tops may be removed from the onions at this time if so desired, or they may be left (a. Dutch sets may be planted as close together as they will stand in a straight row very early in the season. They should be barely covered with soil, which should be well firmed by tramping on it, and the green onions should be pulled as coon as they are ready for use. PEAS. Peas may be planted very early in the season, and for the early crop the seed should be sown in a furrow of two inches deep and the seeds placed an inch apart. Some ar- rangements should be made so that the pea vines will, have some sup- port. Limbs of trees or chicken wire may be used for this purpose, as the vines will cling to this for sup- port and will be kept up from. the ground. This support should be set preferably at the time of planting. This soil should be drawn up around the vine. BEANS. Generally speaking, it Is not a good practice to add fresh man. ure to the soil where one expects to grow beans- They prefer a "moist, deep los► _► The ,> ill.. also l4 _lis .anted fairly eer1Y he rows being at least eighteen in .hes apart. A furrow two inches a deep may be made with the corner M a hoe and the seeds placed from two to three inches apart in the bottom of this furrow. Another way which is eometimes followed in planting beans is to make holes two inches. deep twelve inches apart and in *seri hole three or four seeds be placed.. is le arrays advised not to touch Ws plant when they are wet.
