It is wisest to be in no great hurry to get corn planted, as greater speed of growth will be made in warm days and nights.

The Italian marrow is one of the best; its fruits can be harvested when three inches long, or at any stage upward to three feet long. At all sizes there is a delicious way to serve them. There is also a bush pumpkin taking about the same space. It is not so productive of food, since the fruits are allowed to mature; but they make fine pumpkin pies and fair jack-o-lanterns. Melons need more room, as the vines like to run.

They should have light soil, and full sun, and abundant plant food. Mix it a tablespoonful to the hill before planting. Choose a melon which "Honor Bilt" Peppers, Pumpkin. Spinach. Squash, Tomatoes, Turnips and Watermelons.

This is true because sweet corn is always best when eaten immediately after harvesting, because the quality and flavor deteriorate rapidly after the ears are pulled from the plants. The higher the temperature, the greater the deterioration. Isn't this a sufficient reason why there should be a corn patch in every vegetable garden? A patch of six rows, each 15 feet long, need not occupy more than a 15-foot square.

In normal seasons, planted to quality strains, it should yield 120 to 180 ears. Corn will grow in any well-worked soil, but the best corn requires the best soil. Apply a balanced plant food at the rate of four pounds to 100 square feet, raked into the top soil before sowing corn.

There are varieties which mature in from 75 to 110 days and as you cannot plant the seed until the ground Is warm, you can figure what are the chances of getting mature fruit before frost comes.

Much depends on the weather; warm sunny weather is required to produce sweet melons. If you have room, delicious winter squash can be grown, such as Table Queen and others. They will keep into early winter, and are delicious when baked in the rind. FREE OF JVOXIOIS WEEDS SINNY MIXTURE ONE LB. 3 LBS.
