CROP TO PLANT LATER

Immediate Needs.
CABBAGE AND OTHER THINGS
Good Food Products Can Bo Secured
by the Amateur ler a Little Labor
and a Small Expenditure.
(By S. C. J0RNSTON, Vegetable
Specialist, Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
Besides growing many vegetables
for immediate use the backyard
garden should produce some veget-
ables which can be stored for con-
sumption during winter months.
Some, of course, do not need to be
planted as early as the plants which
were described last week. Possibly
a week should elapse from the time
the lettuce Is planted before these.
should be sown.
BEETS, CARROTS, PARSNIPS.
AND SALSIFY. These include the
most important members of the root
vegetables. They are usually grown
for winter purposes, though beets
and carrots are relished by many in
their earlier stages at growth. All
these demand practically the same
attention. The seeds should be sown
in straight rows at a depth of about
three-quarters of an inch. When the
plants have reached a height of two
Inches they should be Carefully thin-
ned out so that they stand, beets
and parsnips three to four inches
apart, carrots and salsify two or
three inches apart. It will be found
that the parsnips are very slow grow-
ers, and for this reason it is some-
times advisable to plant a few seeds
of lettuce with the parsnip seeds so
that they will serve as a marker. The
young beet plants may be used as
spring greens. It is necessary that
the soil be cultivated at intervals
during the summer months so that
the crops may grow. They do not as
a general rule require as heavy we -
tering as some of the other vegetable
crops. In the fall the beets should
be pulled up and the tops twisted off
close to the head, not cut oft with a
knife as in the case of carrots, pars-
nips, or salsify, which should have
the tops cut about one-half inch from
the roots preparatory to storing for
winter use.
CORN. In planting corn holes
about two or three inches deep
should be made with a hoe. Five or
six kernels of corn should be drop-
ped in this and covered with soi1,
which should be gently firmed by
tramping on it. When the shoots
are about three inches high all ex-
cepting the three sturdiest should be
pulled out. The soil sliouId be
drawn up around the stalks as they
grow, to give them support. When
the kernels on the cob appear full of
milk they are ready to use. It is
also a good practice to cultivate the
soil often around the corn, for ex-
pert growers claim that the crops
corn and cabbage faster and better
when plenty of cultivation is given,
CABBAGE. Cabbage is one of the
most widely grown vegetables. The
cabbage plant requires a supply
of moisture, and yet if the cab-
bage soil is too wet the plant will
be injured. Cabbage does particu-
larly well on new land, and some
growers claim that the cabbage
grows without an abundant supply of
manure in the soil better than many
other vegetables. It Is considered
a good practice for backyard garden-
ers to purchase plants which have
been grown in hot -beds or hot -houses
and transplant them directly into the
permanent bed. This saves consid-
erable trouble. It is necessary when
setting cabbage plants to set them
fairly deep so that they will not be
whipped about by the wind. They
may be set eighteen inches apart,
and there should be quite a good deal
of soil around the roots. When they
are ready to be set out a hole may
be made with a dibber or a sharpen-
ed stick. The roots may be watered
after they have been set. One of the
most important features of growiteg
cabbage consists in the attention
given to cultivation of the soil. There
may be some occasions when the head
will s may split, this be stopped or
prevented if the head is taken in
the hands and turned forcibly from
one side to another.
CAULIFLOWER. The cauliflower
is treated in much the same way as
cabbage, the plants being grown and
set out in the same manner outside.
They are treated practieally the same
as cabbage until it is noticed that a
little white Sower has commenced to
grow. The dry leaves of the plant
should be brought together at the
top and tied with a piece of string so
that these little white flowers are pro-
tected from the rays of the sun and
the rain. Ali cauliflower heads
should be treated in this manner
when they are about two inches in
diameter.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Brussels
sprouts are perhaps the most hardy
of the cabbage family. If it is im-
possible to secure brussels sprouts
plants a few seeds may be planted
About May 15 at a depth of about one
inch. These should be transplanted
to the permanent bed about the 15th
of June. They sbould be set eighteen
inches in the row and two feet be-
tween the rows. it Is well 10 keep
