siiwlsu of sekds it is necessary to observe that moat aad even many things which are usually sown in the spnug would be better buwu in the fall and es pecially when we considar how lilde time there is for doiog all things in the spring perhaps carrots beels onions and many other things m3y be easily sown in the fall the seed will ao'i perish if coveiod with the earth seeds of all plants will lie seth in this way all the winter though the trust penetrate to the dis tance of three feet beneath tbem except the seeds of snch plants as a slight froat will cut down — tbe u of kidney beans for instance will rot if the ground ba not warm enough to bring it up so will tiie seed of cucumbers and rnellons and indian corn unless buried beyond thc reach ofthe influence of lhe atmosphere ven early p*as would be beat sown in the fail could you have an insurance against mice we all know what a bustle thsre is to get in early peas if they were sown in the fall they would start up the moment the frost was out of the ground and would be ten days earlier in bearing in spite ef overy effort made by the spring-growers to make their peas overtake them upon a spot where i saved peas for seed last year some that was left in a lock of haulm at the harvesting and that lay upon the dry ground lill the land was ploughed late in november came up in the spring tho momunt the frost was entirely out of the ground aud they were in full bloom fifteen days earlier than those sown in the same held as early as it was pussiole in the spring doubt less they would have borne peas fifteen flays sooner but there were but a v*»ry few of them and those standing struggling about and 1 was obliged lo plough up the ground where they were jrjrowing iu bome cast it would be better to co ver this stave ground with leaves of trees as soon as the frost has fairly set in but not before tor if you do it before the seed may vegetate and then may bo killed by the frost one ibject of this tall sowing is to get the work done ready for spring for at that seasoe you have so many things to do at once — besides you cannot sow the iustant the frost breaks up for the ground is wet and clammy unfit to be dug or touched or trod deu upon so that here are ten days lust but tht seed which has been ia the ground all the wmler is ready to start the moment the earth is clear of the wiuter frost and it is up by the time you can get other seed into the ground in a good state fall aowing of seeds to come ap in tbe spring is iiot practised in englac d though ihey are always desirous to get their things early — the roason ia the uncertainly of their wiuter wmch pisses sometimes with hardly any frost at all and which at other times is severe enougii to freeie tha thames over it is sometimes mild till february anu tbeu severe sometimes it begins with severity and ends with mildness so tnat nine times out of ten their seed would come up and the plants would be destroyed before spring besides they have slugs that come out iu mild weathor and eat up small punts iu tbe winter other insects and reptiles do ths like from thsse obstacles the american gardener is free — hia winter seta in and the earth is safely

siiwlsu of sekds it is necessary to observe that moat aad even many things which are usually sown in the spnug would be better buwu in the fall and es pecially when we considar how lilde time there is for doiog all things in the spring perhaps carrots beels onions and many other things m3y be easily sown in the fall the seed will ao'i perish if coveiod with the earth seeds of all plants will lie seth in this way all the winter though the trust penetrate to the dis tance of three feet beneath tbem except the seeds of snch plants as a slight froat will cut down — tbe u of kidney beans for instance will rot if the ground ba not warm enough to bring it up so will tiie seed of cucumbers and rnellons and indian corn unless buried beyond thc reach ofthe influence of lhe atmosphere ven early p*as would be beat sown in the fail could you have an insurance against mice we all know what a bustle thsre is to get in early peas if they were sown in the fall they would start up the moment the frost was out of the ground and would be ten days earlier in bearing in spite ef overy effort made by the spring-growers to make their peas overtake them upon a spot where i saved peas for seed last year some that was left in a lock of haulm at the harvesting and that lay upon the dry ground lill the land was ploughed late in november came up in the spring tho momunt the frost was entirely out of the ground aud they were in full bloom fifteen days earlier than those sown in the same held as early as it was pussiole in the spring doubt less they would have borne peas fifteen flays sooner but there were but a v*»ry few of them and those standing struggling about and 1 was obliged lo plough up the ground where they were jrjrowing iu bome cast it would be better to co ver this stave ground with leaves of trees as soon as the frost has fairly set in but not before tor if you do it before the seed may vegetate and then may bo killed by the frost one ibject of this tall sowing is to get the work done ready for spring for at that seasoe you have so many things to do at once — besides you cannot sow the iustant the frost breaks up for the ground is wet and clammy unfit to be dug or touched or trod deu upon so that here are ten days lust but tht seed which has been ia the ground all the wmler is ready to start the moment the earth is clear of the wiuter frost and it is up by the time you can get other seed into the ground in a good state fall aowing of seeds to come ap in tbe spring is iiot practised in englac d though ihey are always desirous to get their things early — the roason ia the uncertainly of their wiuter wmch pisses sometimes with hardly any frost at all and which at other times is severe enougii to freeie tha thames over it is sometimes mild till february anu tbeu severe sometimes it begins with severity and ends with mildness so tnat nine times out of ten their seed would come up and the plants would be destroyed before spring besides they have slugs that come out iu mild weathor and eat up small punts iu tbe winter other insects and reptiles do ths like from thsse obstacles the american gardener is free — hia winter seta in and the earth is safely
