NOW ABOUT POTATOES
Grow Some and Keep Down tic
High Prices.
TOMATOES ALSO A GOOD LINb
But All Danger of Frosts Should B,
Passed Before Tender Crops AN
Put in the Ground.
(By le
Specialist, OntarioJOHNSTON',Department bot
Agriculture, Toronto.)
Some of our vegetables are very
tender and should not be planted
until after all danger of frost is over.
ft must be remembered that because
the soil is ready to receive the plants
It is not absolutely necessary that
the grower should set the plants out.
Potatoes plaited out between 24th
May and even the first of June will
give excellent results, Tomatos may
be set out after the 6th of June and
good returns expected, as some sea-
sons a severe frost destroys many
tomato plants as late as June 6th.
Vine crops such as cucumber and
squash may be planted after all dan-
ger of frost is over.
POTATOES. Potatoes are one
crop which may be planted on land
which is considered to be in a very
rough condition. Possibly there is
no better crop to be planted on land
which has been in sod for a number
of years. Medium-sized tubers of
good quality should be secured and
they should he cut so that there are
at least two eyes in each piece or set.
Ct is a good plan in a small garden
to have the soil prepared fairly well,
then cut the seed and commence
planting. Furrows may be made with
the hoe about six inches deep and
two feet apart. The sets may be
placed twelve inches apart in the
bottom of the furrow and should be
covered with two inches of soil. This
will leave the young plant more or
less in a trench. As the plants
grow the soil will be gradually drag -
,x1 up and the trench will be filled.
ft will be necessary to cultivate the
soil between the rows so as to keep
down weeds, and at the same time
soil should be gradually drawn up to
the tops in sufficient quantities so
that the growing roots will not be
exposed to the sunlight, which will
cause them to turn green and be of
inferior quality. If an early variety
has been planted and a vigorous
growth has resulted it is possible
that some may be fit to dig in August.
By removing some of the soil from
around a hill with the hand one can
tell whether they are fit to dig. If
the potatoes are grown for winter
use they do not need to be dug until
quite late in the fall.. The tops will
die down at the first frost, but it is
not absolutely necessary that they be
dug immediately. They should, how-
ever, be dug before there is any
severe . frost.
TOMATOES. The tomato is one
of the most popular vegetables
either fresh or in a preserved con-
dition. It may be grown quite easily
in the backyard. The better practice
with tomatoes is to purchase the
plants ready for transplanting rather
than attempting to grow these plants
if one has not had experience in
handling a hot -bed. Plants having a
large root system are best, and the
stock in any case should at least be
the size of a lead pencil. The soil
should be thoroughly prepared be-
fore planting time, possibly a crop of
lettuce or radish may be taken from
the same, but it is always advisable
to have plenty of manure incorpor-
ated in the soil. A shallow hole may
be made with the common hoe to in-
sert the roots of the tomato plant.
These roots should ' be thoroughly
watered .so that the soil will cling
close to the roots when they are set
out in the garden. The plant should
be set fairly .deep and the earth
should be firmed around the roots.
If the season is dry and hot, water
may be poured around the plant in
order to facilitate growth. These
plants may be set two feet apart if
they are to be trained on stakes and
kept from covering a large space in
the garden. These stakes should be
preferably six feet long, two inches
wide. and one inch thick. They may
be driven into the soil a few days
after the plant has been set out and
the plants tied up to the stick with
a piece of twine or cotton in such a
manner that the tie will be directly
under the leaf. As the plant de-
velopes in size in front of each leaf
a slender growth called a side shoot
will appear. These must be removed
by pressing them out with the thumb
when very small. Four or five ties
will be necessary to support the
plant. As a result of the staking
fruits of a superior quality will ripen
earlier than those grown on the
ground.
CELERY Celery may be grown in
many garden soils if they have been
heavily dressed with manure. For
the backyard gardener it will be
much better if the plants are soA
cured ready for setting out about
the 24th of May. All the plants
should be set on the level from six
to eight inches apart in the row and
from two feet to thirty inches be-
tween the rows. It will be found
necessary to water celery more than
any other crop in the garden, and the
soil between the rows should be
stirred constantly. In the fall when
the celery has reached sufficient
height it will be found necessary to
blanch it. Possibly the best me-
thod being to stand twelve inch
boards against the rows of plants,
holding them in position with stakes
at each end, in from tee days to
