There aro many things in tho tei'd business that aro important for ovory farmer to know. Many of these things do not show on tho outsido and neither is it easily possibly to learn thorn.

Tho tubers will like it. Remember it is the early potato that brings the good price. In order to multiply your stock, it is well to prepare cuttings of cur rant, grape, gooseberry, several kinds of plums, some varieties of quince, most of shrubs, willows, poplars, and hedge plants; these will root readily If put into the soil as early as it can be worked, taking the cuttings before buds begin to grow. They should be set about six inches apart, and the soil well firmed about them, set deep enough so that only the uppermost bud shows. They must be cultivated and hoed all summer. Onion seeds may be sown as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Peas should be in the ground among the first things, eand should be planted fairly deep. Beets, spinach, and all half-hardy vegetables may be the first things, and should be among the first things, and as soon as the plants get good size, trans plant to six inches apart, cultivate carefully in rich ground, and see it grow. Start asparagus beds, either from seeds or plants. Almost any seeds man's catalogue will tell you how It is done. Asparagus is not grown enough by the home gardener.

The trellis climbers aro mostly roses, and there aro now so very many beautiful, ovor-bloom-ing hardy roses, as well as tho old tried Juno bloomers, that there Is no excuse for neglect of them. They come in many colors, perfectly hardy and of lovely foliage. The price of good rose plants, whether tho mail ing size, or those to como by express, is now so reasonable that they should bo largely planted. Onco getting them started, they may bo multiplied by cuttings or layorings.

(.10,000 SEEDS IDc The Strawberry Bed If you have never had a straw berry bed, you havo missed a great deal, and if you have one, and let it "run down," you are very culp able. Get the ground ready as quickly as possible, and reset for a new bed, if the old 1b falling. Some contend that it is better that this should be done the previous autumn; but no matter; if you neglected it then, do not add to your neglect now. Set the plants early and give them good culture. They won't (or should not be allowed to) bear very much of a crop this season, but they will give you plenty of fruit next spring. Then, this autumn, try to make up for last year's neglect, and have plenty of strawberries. There Is no better fruit. If you have no knowl edge of the strawberry plant, get your nurseryman to choose for you, and to advise you as to what varieties to get and how to care for them. There are scrubs among plants, just as among animals, and they are just as worthless. Novelties are not advised, except In small numbers as experi ments. Stick to the recognized standards, but be sure to plant something worth while. TTT . . - . w t QaAila ttfot WJf m firm hava mm . mJ st . .MlMtUs ATW1 TlTlf. tlD lB.&OO . UWgogWWO UCBI V ;.

JKVANS & CO., Washington, V,a Hardy Ornamental "Vines Nothing is more beautiful about the home than the hardy ornamental vines or climbers. Tho fruit-bearing vines have a place of their own; but nothing can supply the place re served for beauty except the flower bearing kind. For tho porch or trellis, there Is nothing better than the ampelopsis quinquefolio, the dif ferent clematises, and the Japanese evergreen honeysuckle. The cle matis may be made Into a pillar climber, while the Bignonio radicans or (trumpet-flower vine) can be trained Into a tree form. These are all hardy, and fine plants of each, singly or in quantities, can be had of the nurserymen at . .reasonable nrices. Once established, they can be multiplied by- division of roots, or layering, or cuttings, and some of them by seeds. For clinging on brick or stonewalls, and less securely on wooden walls, there is nothing better than the ampelopsis Veitchii, SI in nothinc more beautiful, though there is no bloom. . Old prejudices die hard, and the mistaken notion that a dense growth Ornamental Hedges Few things in nature surpass tho California privet for hedges where a low-grading effect is wanted, It . for a baclc-ground, or a dividing line in small gardens or yards. It grows readily from cut tings and these can bo bought by the hundreds cheaply; very few of i,80111 t0 grow; yet the florists sell the rooted plants at a very reasonable price, and time Is gained by using the rooted plants instead of the cuttings. The growth is rapid and the plant Is very hardy; the foli age Is a nice shade of green, and the plant branches thickly; tho flowers are borne in panicles of pure white, rind cover the well-grown plant in May and June where it is left to get any size. Short-Stops . Dont neglect to plant a paper of chrysanthemum seeds for the autumn blooming. Asters, though annuals, are most beautiful, and are of many colors, easy to germinate and repay care all summer. One of the glory-spots of the lawn or garden is the bed of tea-roses. A great many of the tea roses are hardy, with a little care, and they can be had, well rooted, for a small price. There are many hardy, ever-blooming roses to bo had now, and there is nothing prettier than tho ever blooming pillar roses. Put the grape vino at tho back of the house, for utility, but All the front and side spaces with climbing, flowering vines. A trellis should be built a few inches from the house wall, and the vines trained on that. Give the boy a garden spot of his own; give him time and tools to keep it cultivated, and let him sell his produce, either to your own self or the market. Treat him fairly, and let him havo what Is justly his. Let him have a few flower seeds, too, but Insist that he realizes tho responsi bility of caring for them. Peas will stand frosts, and even light snows. Sown early enough they should begin to bear by the first of May. Grass plats need attention; all the old, dead grass should be well raked off, the little holes and hollows filled In with soil, and the naked places re-sown with seeds. If the growth of grass is scant, sow the best seeds you can get, and sow early. A dressing of wood ashes is a good thing for a lawn. Newly seeded lawns should not bo trampled upon. If you are going to have isweet peas, you must plant them just as soon as you can get them into the soil. Plant in trenches, cover lightly, j&mmmm ti i ALL VARIETIES. Frnlt and Ornamental.
