April IS.-Gardon peas, sometimes called English peas, are not injured by light frosts, BO should be planted as soon as the soil can be put in order in the spring. Tho first plantings should be ot ama] 1 growing, quick maturing varie ties, such as Alaska, Rirst and Best, and Uasdur. which do not require supports. These varieties should be followed by the large wrinkled type of peas, such aa Champion o? Eng land, Telephone, and Prise Taker. The large growing varieties should be supported on brush, on stringa attach ed to stakes driven In thc ground, or on wire netting. In order to have a continuous supply of peas, plantings should be made every 10 days or two weeks until .warm weather. Peas should be planted in late summer and autumn for the fall garden, for which the carly varieties are more desirable than the late ones. Peas should be planted about two to three inches deep in row? three to four feet apart. Some gardeners, how ever, follow the practice of planting AUTO OWNERS!

This is a good practice with varieties re quiring support, as the supports can be placed in the narrow space be tween the rows. Varieties recommended: Alaska, First and Best, Gradus, Telephone, Champion ot England, and Prize Tak er. Peppers. Seeds of peppers Bhould be ?nw? in a hotbed or in a box in the house about eight weeks before time v for setting the plants in the garden. The plants are tender and should not be transplanted until the ground ls warm and all danger of frost is past. Set the plants 15 to 18 inches apart in rows 21-2 to three feet apart. The cultivation and treatment of peppers should bc the same as that of toma toes and eggplants. There is a large number of varieties of peppers, in cluding thc sweet kinds and the hot peppers. ? Varieties recommended: Ruby King, Chinese Giant, Sweet Spanish, and Bell or Bull Nose, of the sweet pep pers; Long Ked Cayenne, Tabasco, and Red Cluster, of the bot types. Potatoes. Irish of white potatoes: A small area of early potatoes should bc grown in the garden, but the mali crop should be grown elsewhere Early potatoes should be planted ai soon as the ground can bo prepare? to good advantage. In Florida, pota toes are usually planted In December while in other sections of the lowei South they are planted in January In the upper South carly potatoes ar usually planted In February, but ii the extreme northern portion of th South they are nut planted unti March. As it is difficult to keep po ta to es through the summer, a . fal crop should be grown. A commoi practice In some partB ot the So uti is to plant potatoes from the fir? crop as soon as they are dug. In th lower Soutli this method can be fol lowed to advantage. Another metho la to bed thc potatoes on a little loos soil in a cool, shady place,' covorlu the bed with litter or soil and molt toning it thoroughly. As soon as th tubers sprout they are planted in th field for the late Crop. Potatoes are planted 12 to 14 inch? apart In rows two and one halt t three feet apart .and covered to th depth of about four inches. Potato? planted during hot weather r.hould t covered six inches deep unless the have been sprouted before planting The furrows are usually opened wit a one horse turnplow, or lister, an the potatoes dropped, one' piece in place, in tho bottom ot the .furro\ As lt requires two or three wool for potatoes to come up, it ic impor ant that they be cultivated as soon t the row can be followed.* If a erm forms before the potatoes come up. spike tooth harrow or weeder shoul bo run over the ground to loosen tl surface of the soil. Harrow toot hr cultivators should be used for tl main cultivation; bnt at the last cu ti vat ion the soil may be worked i around thc plants tc hold them ere and to protect tho tubers from tl sun. After digging the esrly potato) thye should be kept in a cool, di place during the hot weather r* sun mer. In the lower South it is betti to grow a fall crop rather than to u to keep the spring crop through tl summer and winter. Fall grown pi tetons can be kept in a dry cellar, i a pit, or in any building where ll temperature can be controlled. Irit potatoes keep best tn s cool temper turn, bnt should .bc not be allowed t reach 'the freezing point, lt is be not to allow thc temperature to fall o below 36 degrees F. o Varieties recommended: Irish Cob- ? bier, BllsB Red Triumph, and Bliss ? White Triumph are good early pota- o toes. Where only ono variety is to be grown,' the I?ish Cobbler is ree- t ommended. The same varieties may g be grown for tile fall crop, or thc i Green Mountain, which is a late - a i rlety, may oe used. ? Sweet potatoes: Thc Bweet potato t is not usually handled ns a garden ? crop in thc South, but it lu advisable to have a" few plants In the garden for j carly summer usc. On land thut is > not thoroughly drained sweet potato plants should bc set on ridges which , are thrown up hy means of a plow. | Two or four furrows are usually ? thrown together., and level? .' off with a light' drag. The ridges should be j broad, as narrow sharp ridges dry i yul quickly. The fertilizers recoin? mended for general garden treatment will be found satisfactory for sweet ^ potatoes. Thc roots that are too small for marketing arc usually used for seed. For an early crop t?'e roots should bc bedded in a hotbed five or six weeks before it will bc SM o to set thc plants in thc field. As the plants are easily injured by cold, they should not bc transplanted until danger of frost has passed. For thc general crop in thc lower South, select a pro tected 'location, preferably on the south side of a building or fence, and bed thc roots In the open. A com mon method is to make an excavation six inches deep and of sufficient size to accommodate the roots to be bed ded. Place in this a layer of sand or loose soil, on which to bed the uweet potatoes. Put the roots close togeth er, but do not allow them to touch, and cover them with sand or loose soil one to two inches deep. Soil ou which sweet potatoes have been grown should not be used for the seed ted. Ten bushels of sweet potatoes will furnish enough Blips to plant an acre. From these slips, lr set out early, may be taken enough vine cut-1 tinga tu plant seven or eight acres. Vine cuttings may be planted as late as July in the upper South and at late as August in the lower Scnith. They will produce as larse crops as slips, with less danger from diseases which affect tho roots. Sweet potatoes should bc dug on a bright day when the soil is dry. Tho tlm.> for digging varies in dln'erenl sections, but the potatoes should bc dug before there is any danger of hard frosts. When grown on a small scale, sweet potatoes may be. dug with a spading fork. Great care should be taken not to bruise.cr injure the roots In handling. After dlgglnc, the roots should lie exposed for two or - three hours to dry, after which they should be placed In a wai-.i, well ventilated room. The temperature during thc curing period of about 10. days should be about 80 degrees to 90 degrees After the curing period the tempera ture should be lowered gradually to, about 55 degrees F. and held at that point during thc remainder o f thc storage period. A small crop may bc cured near the kitchen Stove and af terwards stored in a dry room where there ls no danger of their becoming chilled. Handle sweet potatoes as little as possible. Varieties recommended: Pumpkin Yam, Dooley, Nancy Hall, Triumph, and Southern Queen. Where a dry fleshed potato is desired, improved Jersey, Big Stem Jersey, and Triumph are recommended.
