The tool, moist weather which seeds like bed for germination cannot be counted on At a rule, summer sowing should be deeper than winter sowing. A trench a few inch** deep should be scuuped out. and the gn-und Soaked thoroughly by running mater into It Seed should be sown at the bottom and covered mote deeply than usual Do not fill the trench, i but leave it to catch dews and light rains.

Cauliflower, brussels sprouts, head lettuce, kohlrabi, kale, spinach, tur> nips, carrots, beets, radishes, peas and beans may be planted for a fall crop with unusual assurances this year of harvesting them all. The great advantage of fall salad crops over those of spring is that there la no temptation to go to »ei d Instead of lengthening day* and warmer weather as We crop ma-
