In the first “place, we will consider
the kind of soil most suited to their
needs. Those kinds which have long
roots need deep and' mellow lactations.
For this reason the hard clay is not
best, neither is the soil that is largely
sand. The sandy loam, then, may be
said to be best for all kinds of I'oot
crops. Thorough preparation is of
“ considerable importance. The land
should be plowed or spaded deeply.
All grass roots and sods should be
removed for best results. However,
in field culture this is scarcely pos
sible. We may say, -therefore, ihati
pieparation consists of plowing and
discing deeply, and continuing the
work until the ground is mellow and

The highest yielding series was the

an increase in all the nitrated series,

is added that the early spring appli-'

t sprout leaves for salad use during
; the winter'. The carrot is a particu
larly delicious vegetable and a fav
orite with the ladies, as it is sup
posed to be of value in keeping the
complexion cleax- and soft. Horse
breeders have long known that car
rots fed to the animals tend to keep
the coats smooth and glossy. Here
are two good reasons why we should
grow carrots, then.
The parsnip should be planted as
early as the ground is in fair con-
■ d’ition for working. It requires a
deep soil and the entire season for
growing to perfection. In the same
catalog we may place the Hamburg
or turnip-rooted parsley. This vege
table is not as well known as it de
serves to be. It grows much like a;
parsnip, and the roots can scarcely
be distinguished from it, after being
dug and the tops removed. It is
grown to a considerable extent in
America, although not commonly
seen in the markets. The cooked
vegetable has a rather pleasant,
sweet taste, and its principal use is
as a flavoring for soups and .stews.
One packet of seed will grow all a
large family will need, as the seeds
are small. Like the othei’ varieties
of parsley, the seed are slow in germ
inating. Better put in a few radish
seeds to mark the rows, so cultiva-
i tion may be started before the weeds
! get a foothold. French endive is
j grown, in the same manner as pars-
! nips. •
t The various varieties of beets form
j an important garden crop. We may
. plant the seeds very early in the
j spring and use the small roots early
j in summer. One desirable thing
; about beet greens is the fact that
j they never grow‘tough. Even when
the stems get large and the roots of
considerable size, the top cooks "ten
der and is palatable. Swiss chard is
a kind of beet which does not form
I a root, but the leaves may be used for
I greens all summer. New leaves grow
from the heart as rapidly as the old
ones are removed. For the first
beets, plant a small-topped variety,
like Eclipse, while for the-main crop
and for canning, the well-known De
troit Dark Red is the best. Varieties
for winter use have long roots.

in the gospels so closely dated as the

I six days after Peter's confession,

the season is dry, water must be
given occasionally—not every day,

merely when the ground has become
dry. When watering, do it thorough

two inches down. Water after sun-

from exacting application indoors.
If one has hours of work and min
utes to play, it would seem wise at
least fox' the first year, to choose
something which 'will grow easily,
bloom fox* a long period of time, and
not require a constant cutting of
blossoms or an unusual amount of I
water. Also, for the sake of that
variety which is part of beauty, a|
plant which may be had in a variety

As to cutting, I do not mean that!
the blooms may not be cut, indeed, I
everything which grows is the better
for it—-but I do meain that there are
certain things, such as pansies and
poppies, which it is imperative to cut
daily, else bloom will cease alto
gether. It is well to remembex*
that, although this is a delightful
task, it is exacting when time is to
be considered.
BUY THE PLANTS.
Perhaps the petunia fills all these
specifications particularly well. It
has only one limitation for our pur
pose: it is slow in getting under way
and, if grown from seed, will leave
the garden blossonxless for the early
months.
My advice is to buy the plants, thus
assuring early bloom. Set them
about a foot apart; they will soon
grow to a solid mass of foliage and
bloom which is a delight to see.
A flower in a stronger note which
fulfills the same requirements is the
nasturtium. It is easy to raise fr^om

named varieties or by color, really
exquisite shades may be yours. They

As the centuries pass and the world

,, a fresh importance in men’s eyes.
| The outward aspect of the celebra-
j tion of Easter, with flowers and
! music, rich gifts and gay apparel, is
forever less than the deep-hid intima-
| tions, which no words intoned and
j chanted are able to convey. The first
j of altars is set up in every human
heart; and the resurrection is that
of the individual life of every Easter-
I tide communicant. Pagans made
i their high festival of Easter before
j the churches hallowed and beautified
I the observation. Even primitive man-
; kind, dimly groping toward a far-off,
invisible presence felt but not realiz
ed, was stirred by the coming of the
spring to a reverence for a nameless
spirit, and to a renewal of an aspira
tion inextinguishable in rnan’t heart
till life is ended.
This day of rejoicing in the victory
I of life over death, of the triumphant
spirit over the captivity of the tomb,
falls short of its immortal purpose if
it begins and ends in a material evi
