would give no Indication of how soon

the fact that the men will dwell tem

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
WHAT YOU CAN DO IN
A GARDEN PLANTED NOW
Not Too Late to Grow a
Good Supply of Vege
tables
By F. P. ROCKWEMJ
Copyright, 1917, by W. Atlee Burpee
} & Co., Seeds Growers, Philadelphia.
It Is not yet too late to grow a
good supply of vegetables, even if
you have not had a garden so far
this year.
There is among amateur gardeners
an unwritten tradition that gardens
must be planted in the spring. As a
matter of fact, a fairly complete gar
den may be planted successfully as
late as the middle of July. There
are approximately 100 days of grow
ing weather -after that date, while
the majority of vegetables require
less than 90 days to be ready for
use. It Is a fact that Nature does
most of her need sowing, not in the
spring, but during the summer and
early fall. One of the chief reasons
why summer planting Is not carried
on more extensively Is that. In many
sections of the country, wo usually
have at that time r dry condition of
the soil that delays or Interferes with
germination.
This year, fortunately, we have
had abundant rains throughout June,
so that the soil is in just the right
condition to nssure the prompt
germination of seeds planted now.
Wide-awake gardeners are taking
advantage of this condition to make
their late plantings as large as pos
sible. An unusual opportunity ex
ists for the late beginner who still
wants to make a garden this year.
What You Can Plant Now
The list of vegetables which can
still be grown this year is big enough
to satisfy any beginner. It includes:
Beans, beets, cabbage, cauliflower,
brusscls sprouts, lcale, celery, Swiss
chard, sweet corn, endive, kohlrabi,
lettuce, mustard, peas, radish, ruta
bagas, spinach, squash (summer)
and turnips.
Of the above vegetables cabbage,
cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale and

celery may be obtained locally in
plants already started. If you can get
the plants, there is still plenty of
time for tomatoes. They will be in
their prime during September and
early October, when the local crop is
pretty well gone by, and both ripe
and green tomatoes for making
pickles and preserves are hard to
get.
The other vegetables in the list
above should be started now from
seed. There is one point about
which care should be taken, how
ever. That is: For late planting use
early varieties.
This advice may seem paradoxical
at first, but will appear commonsense
on a moment's reflection. The fol
lowing are all good sorts:

, Tilings to Hurry With
" "*' e the things mentioned
i°i V 0 ave time to develop to grood
table size, there are some which take
longer than others, and these should
Include beets, carrots, sweet corn,
rutabagas and cucumbers. With all
of them it Is essential to use only
the earliest varieties, as suggested
above.
Getting Strong Start
Success with these late planted
vegetables depends to a large extent
on getting a strong germination and
quick start in growth. To make as
sure as possible of this, there are
three points to be kept in mind:
Plant on a freshly prepared sur
face.
Firm the seed well in the soil, if
the latter Is at all dry.
Provide a fertilizer high In avail
able nitrogen to assure a robust,
early growth.
Whether the garden spaces to be
planted have been newly dug up or
prepared some time in advance, the
seed should always be sown on soil
that has been freshly worked over.
There is a double reason for this.
The first requisite for germination is
moisture. Seeds, especially small
seeds, are covered only lightly, and
as the upper inch or two of soil dries
out very quickly after It Is spaded
up, seed planted in soil that has been
lying for even a few days undis
turbed is likely to be in want of
enough moisture to cause good
germination. If on the other hand
the same soil had been worked over
anew just previous to planting, moist
fresh soil would be brought Into
direct contact with the seed, causing
it to swell and sprout Immediately.
In the second place, within a few
days after any piece of ground is
worked over the weed seeds in It
near the surface begin to sprout.
If your vegetable seeds are not
planted until some days later, they
are therefore badly handicapped in
the race for life with weeds. If,
however, the soil Is raked over thor
oughly immediately before planting,
such weed seedlings as may have
started —and there will llkolvhe thou
sands of them, even if they tlo not
all show above the surface— win be
destroyed, giving the vegetables an
even chance.
Firm the Scotl Well
A frequent cause of failure, or of
poor results with late plantings, when
the soil is usually not as moist as it
fs in the spring, Is neglect to pack
the soil about the newly planted seed
firmly enough.
After opening the drill or furrow
and distributing the seed, go over the
row with the back of the hoe or
rake, or in case of large seeds, such
as peas, beans or corn, with the ball
of the foot, nd press the seed down
Into the soil. Then cover immedi
ately while the dirt is still fresh and
moist to the depth requred for the
kind of seed being sown.
Cover small seeds, such as carrots,
lettuce, kohlrabi, onions, leek and
turnips, about one-fourth Inch deep.
Celery and parsley, cover barely from
sight, soaking seed a day or two first
to hasten germination.
Cover the medium-sized seeds, such
as beets, parsnips, cucumbers, salsify,
spinach and Swiss card, about one
half Inch deep.
Cover the large seeds, such as
beans, corn, squash and pumpkin, one
to two Inches deep. In light soil, or
very dry weather, plant deeper than
usual. In heavy soil or wet weather,
shallower.
After covering the seed, again
press the soil down lightly on the
surface, to prevent air spaces and
to mark where the row or hill has
been planted. On heavy clay soil or
very wet weather, of course, little or
no compacting of the soli over the
seeds will be required.
The details of planting root crops
for winter use will be given In the
next article. In the meantime. If
you plan to have a late garden
or grow winter vegetables, procure
the seeds you may want. A full
description of the varieties mentioned
above, with many others, and a great
deal of other helpful garden Informa
tion may be had by sending to W.
