Planting Garden Seeds in the FdH.-
Two years ago, after taking the vegetables
from our garden. we Immediately prepared
the beds and sowed onions, parsnips, car
rots, lettuce, beets, cabbage, &c. on the
fourteenth of October. They were cover
ed with rye straw, aud litter, and manure
from the barn yard thrown over them to
the depth Of four or five inches. In the
spring, as soon as the lros, was out, this
was removed, and we found that in conse-
quence of the straw not being well ihresh-
ed, much rye had dropped upon the ground
and had taken root, in eXtricating which we
rooted aud destroyed large portion Of our
young plants, which had already started
and were doing well. What did grow,
however, did well, and were large enough
to use number of days sooner than those
planted as eaily as the weather would per-
nit. Plants from the cabbage seed sown
in the fall were much more thrifty and pro-
duced larger heads than those Of the same
variety sown in the spring We name this
as the result Of a single experiment, and
as we are in no situation to repeat it this
year, we should like TO have some of our
friends try it and let US know the result.
