VEGETABLE GARDEN. Some Practical Advice By One Who Knows. A SEASONABLE SUBJECT. SEED TIME A List of the Best Varieties of Kuch Vegetable Suggested by Prof Hume and Some Direction! for Testing the Seed How Much Seed Per Acre. Progressive Farmer. Messrs. Editors: Seeds may be secured at the corner grocers or from the town druggist, and if par ticularly fresh, this source of sup ply is all right; bat quite frequently you get the kind of seeds that do not grow. Some seedsmen sell their seeds to dealers sealed in original packages with the year stamped up on them. Such seeds must be con sidered more reliable, and, at any rate, the buyer should satisfy him self that the seeds are new, good and reliable. don't buy maxyJ novelties. In the matter of choosiug the varieties to plant either for the mar ket or for honi3 consumption every vegetable grower must be nure or less a law unto himself. Experience in a certain locality, on a certain iven piece of ground counts for more than all the outside advice that can be put together. It is so largely a local matter thxt the ques tion must always be approached with the feeling "Well, I'd rather not." Some good general a 1 vice, may, however be given. Do not plaut novelties in large quantities test them tirst tiy only a little. Every year new varieties are brought out by the seedsmen and after a few years we wonder where they have gone. Simply dis appearedproved to be inferior to other more stable and time tried varieties and they have dropped out of sight. On the other hand many of the new things are really genuine ly good. Every variety that we es teem highly was new one time, but , ! ! we must be positive before planting! All Spines are the same with varia the new things extensively. Then tions. get a little seed of t lie new thing Egg Plant. New York Improved and see what they will do. Every I and Black Beauty, yiar a small plot should be devoted! Lfttuce. Big Boston and Cali to this test work and the new things j fornia Cream Butter for market, which prove to be good can be plant- j Tennis Ball and Mignonette are etl more largely another year and good for home use. Iceberg, a TT- -voerienced farmer ha r..smed that some grains require far differ ent soil than others; some crops need differ enthandling than others. He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mis take made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. t?ie best time to reme dy wasting conditions in the human body is be fore the evil is too deep rooted. At the first evi dence of loss of flesh Scott's Emulsion should be taken imme diately. There is noth ing that will repair wasted tissue more quickly or replace lost flesh more abundantly than Scott's Emulsion. It nourishes and builds up the body when ordi nary foods absolutely fail.

Be suro that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy, SCOTTCSt BOWNE CHEMISTS 409 Pearl Street NEW YORK 50c. and S'S all druggists Our Big Clubbing Offer.

But buy tha old varieties, the loose varietv, will grow in hotter weather than almost any other va riety. Cantaloupe. Rocky Ford is al most unsurpassed. It is the stand ard market sort, but Jenny Lind, also known as Jersey Button, is a things with which vou are acquaint ed. The very fact that they are old. ! p'os spr.-iiri in niialirv. that they have stood the test of Carrot. Danvers and Oxheart. many seasons, is proof that thev are the safe one3 to plant. Now for a little specilic advice which may prove helpful. In choosing varieties for the home gar den some attention should be given to this point. Because quality couuts in the price received, but with a long distance to ship, carry ing quality is often quite as impor tant. But what is quality? What is at the bottom of it? The variety? Yes, partly, but more than that, vastly more. It is the variety plus climate and soil and sun and plant food and vigorous growth and the man back of them all. No matter how good the variety, if it is not well fed and well cared for, grown in congenial surroundings, it will not have the desired quality. Starve it, let it grow by fits and starts, and what is the result? Strong undesirable flavor and some thing unfit to eat. The question of light and shade has much to do with it. Shade reduces the fiber in the plant, reduces the green coloring matter in the leaves, lessons the strength of flavor. That is why lettuce grown under cloth is so fair superior to that produced in the open. SOME OF THE BEST VARIETIES OF EACH COMMON VEGETABLE. Asparagus. Conover's Colosal and Palmetto are both good stocky varieties. The first is perhaps the standard variety to-day. Beans. Good string beans can now be had with the strings left out. This was not possible a few years ago. Valentine, Longfellow and Golden Wax are good. Dreer'a Pole Lima and Jackson Wonder are good limas. Beets. Early Egyptian and Ellipse are good. Cabbage. Jersey Wakefield and Charleston WakeSeld are hard U surpass for early crop. Nearly all tery early cabbages have pointed heads. Danish Ball head for the mountain sections is the best late rariety. Cauliflower. Early Dwarf Er f art or Dry Weather. Celery. Golden Self-Blanching and White Plume are the only ones worthy of attention in the South. Corn. Stowell's Evergreen, Country Gentleman and Cosmopoli tan. Cucumber. White Spine, Ar. lington White Spine, Boston Spines. Irish Potatoes. Ked and White Bliss and Early Rose. Onion. Yellow Danveis, Prize taker and Bermuda. Okra. White Velvet. Peas. Alaska Gradus, Nott's Excelsior and American Wonder. Radishes. The long varieties can be kept in the ground longer with out becoming pithy than the round ones, but for very early, choose round varieties. They can be ma tured in three week's. French Breakfast and Scarlet Turnip and Long Cardinal. Turnips. White Egg is one of the best. Early Milan and White Strap leaved are also good, Tomato. Spark's Earliana, Beau ty earliest variety. Always choose solid and Poaderosa. The first is the earliest variety. Always choose solid meaty varieties. Squash. Escalloped, White Bush and Fordhook. Every glower should try a few of the last variety. It is unsurpassed as a summer squash. It can be used before the rind hard ens and keeps well and is good long after it does so. HOW MUCH SEED PER ACRE. No definite rule can be given. The following are approximations. When seeds are sown in a seed-bed, more plants are sown than are actu ally needed to allow for selection. ' Beans (drill), one to one and one half bushels; (pole), one-half bushel; beets, five or six pounds; cabbage, four or five ounces; cauliflower, four or five ounces; celery, four or five ounces; cucumber, one and one fourth to two ounces; egg plant, four ounces; lettuce, three pounds; cantaloupe, ne and three- fourth Eonnds; watermelon, one and one alf pounds; onion (transplanted), one and one-half pounds, peas, one and one-half bushels; potatoes, about three barrels; radish, eight to ten pounds; okra ten pounds; corn, eight or ten quarts; squash, two pounds; carrot two and ooe-half pounds.

Spring Planted Trees. Just before the spring growth starts is one of the best seasons to plant fresh dug Fruit, Shade and Orna mental trees. They start to grow at once, and do not lose vitality as they do when dug in the fall and kept over five or six months before growth can start. This is common sense.
