FALL AND WINTER GARDENS.
Vegetables Adapted to Our Soil
and Climate.
Washington, D C, August 21:?
Home gardeners in many sections of
the South and Southwest where
crops have been gathered or are now
nearing maturity, need not reconcile
themselves to the existence of bare
or unproductive land from now until
next spring, according to garden
specialists of the U S Department of
Agriculture. With judicious choice
of crops and locations, they may
/~V-4. , 1
plant seeds from now unui uciuuei
or November and should, as a result,
have fall, winter and soring vegetables.
The successful fall garden is
a possibilits, the department garden
specialists say, with nearly all vegetables
grown in spring and summer,
in practically all parts of the Southern
States, except in areas of high
altitude, and in the more northerly
portions of the region.
In many sections of the South, tomato
plants have succumbed to the
strain of high temperatures and dryness.
In some localities th?*y will
live and continue to bear until fall,
but in others they will not survive.
A new crop should be planted now,
<" 11 ...
and it may be prontaoie LU II v me
experiment of planting both in the
open ground, where the plants are
a to remain, and in frames for transplanting.
The frames or beds should
be located in a relatively cool, shady
place. The same plan of field and
frame planting may he used for cabbage
seedings. With this crop
promising results have already been
obtained by planting several seeds
in a hill and thinning to one plant.
If the field planting should not survive,
however, in some instances,
the grower, it is pointed out, is protected
by having on hand the framegrown
plants. Ordinarily the seed
-i?i.j wjjj Dro_
pianieu uncw w ?
duce an earlier crop than seed planted
in a frame and transplanted.
Among the vegetables which may
be planted at practically any time
during the summer, with fair assurance
of success, are beans. Bush
squash may also be planted even in
the hottest weather if they have not
been made a part of the garden at
an earlier season. With the beginning
of August practically the entire
list of ordinary vegetables is open to
the fall gardener for choice. Beets,
parsnips, carrots, celery, sweet corn,
radishes, lettuce and peas may be
planted at this time, many of them
in succession crops at frequent intervals.
Later in the month and
during the early part of September,
kale, spinach, mustard, turnips, collards
and parsley may also be planted.
During September onion sets
should be put out and in October,
and even later, onion seeds may be
planted for a spring crop.
Among crops of these late plantings
which the southern garener will
find available for winter use, are
Vw>?tc. onH the other root crops, such
UC^WO ?uu v?v _
as parsnips and carrots, and kale,
collards, spinach and mustard. Many
of the plants, he will find, may be
carried by slight protection even :n?
to quite cold weather without suffering
damage, To the crops which
will be carried over for development
in the early spring should be added
salsify or oyster plant, which may
be planted practically any time during
the late summer or early fall.
The following specific directions
for fall planting of certain seeds in
the South have been prepared by
the department's plant specialists:
Beets:?Beets planted in the South
in August and early September will
produce a crop for late fall and
early winter use. Where hand cultivation
is to be given, sow the seed
in drills 14 to 18 inches apart and
cover to the depth of about 1 inch,
m 1 f ho rnws should
ror norsr tuimanuu v..^. .
be feet apart. As soon as the
plants are well established, thin
them to a stand 2 to 3 inches apart.
Give frequent shallow cultivation.
The beets may left in the ground
through the winter to be pulled
when wanted. Varieties recommended:
Crosby's Egyptian. Bassano,
Early Eclipse, and Blood Turnip.
Turnips:?Turnip seed may be
sown during the latter part of August
and throughout September and
the first half of October. Sow turnip
seed thickly in rows 15 to 18
iuches apari, anu vwien tne piaius
reach a height of 4 or 5 inches begin
thinning, using the >oung plants
for greens. For good ruots thin
the plants to about 3 inches apart in
the row. Keep the land well culti~
- . i i
vated to keep down ttie weeas ana
to leave the surface loose and friable.
In a small garden, cultivation with
a hand cultivator is the most practicable.
Turnips may be left in the
ground until needed for the table,
or may be pulled as soon as they are
mature, and stored in a cellar or
buried in banks or pits. The varieties
of turnips commonly grown in
the South are Purple Top Globe,
White Globo,Seven Top,White Milan
and Yellow Aberdeen.
CoLLARDS:?Coiiards can be grown
in the same way as outlined for
turnips.
Kai.e:?Kale can be grown in the
open throughout the winter in prac-1
tically all seasons of the South.
Sow the seed in September and October
in drills 18 inches apart for
hand cultivation, and 30 inches for
horse cultivation. As soon as the
plants reach a height of 4 or 5 inches
they should be thinned. The plants
pulled may be used for greens. The
cultivation for kale should be the
same as fur turnips. Varieties recommended:
Dwarf Curled, Tall
Scotch, and Siberian.
Spinach:?Spinach is one of ihe
best crops grown for greens and
should be found in every home gar
den. it can be grown in cne open
during the autumn and winter in all
sections south of Norfolk. Va. Sow
the seed in the latter part of August,
in September, or October, in
drills 15 to 18 inches apart at the
rate of one ounce to 100 feet of row.
When the plants begin to crowd in
the row they should be thinned.
The larger plants are selected first,
and the smaller or later ones are
thus given room to develop.
GAINED 15 POUNDS IN
10 DAYS ONTANLAC.
Mrs.Tallant Was Soon Restored
to Good Health, She Says.
FRIENDS TALK OF HER CASE
She Declares, "Tanlac Almost Worked
a Miracle for Me and Deserves
Highest Praise."
To gain fifteen (15) pounds on
one and a half (l?) bottles of Tanlac?10
days' treatment?and to be
restored to good health is in itself a
truly wonderful endorsement of the
merits of this "master medicine".
That is exactly what Tanlac?one
and a half bottles of it?did for Mrs
Annie Tallant of 1 Sixth street,
Greenville, S C, she said in her
statement endorsing Tanlac and
telling of the remarkable way in
nrUSrtV, if Taliavcul i>or t.rniihles. While
Mrs Tallant told of the results Tanlac
gave her, two of her sisters and
her husband were present. Her
statement, one of the most remarkable
ever given Tanlac, follows:
"My system was badly run down,
and either that caused me to suffer
with a lot of other ailments or the
other ailments caused my health to
become bad," said Mrs Tallant. "I
could not sleep at all at night hardly
and I would roll and toss in bed
for hours each night. I never did
sleep soundlj".
"No one knows how much I suffered.
I had headaches all the time
and sometimes thought I could not
stand this pain and 1 thought they
would kill me. My nerves were in
had sh.ont> too. and I would illlHD at
the least noise. I luid 110 energy,
and I was very weak. Really I had
to force myself to do my housework,
and I just had to drag myself around
all the time.
"I never did feel well, and most
of the time I was very miserable.
Anyone who has not suffered as I
have cannot realize what I did go
through with. I was sick all over
and it seemed as if I could not get
well. I suffered a lot with pains
across my stomach,too,and with indigestion.
My sisters and husband
told me I looked sickly and weak
before I took Tanlac, and they did
not know what would become of
me.
"The testimonials of Tanlac that
were printed in the papers convinced
me it would Jhelp me, and so I
l>egan taking it. I. weighed when I
I>eg;m taking lanlnc, ana wnen i
had taken one and a half (l?) bottles
I had gained fifteen (15)pounds.
I stopped taking Tanlac then, for as
sure as I live 1 was a well woman
then,and I did not have an ache nor
a pain. That was two months ago,
and 1 feel even better now than I
did when I quit taking Tanlac, for I
have more strength and energy.
"Tanlac gave me a wonderful appetite,
although I could not eat anything
hardly before I l>egan Tanlac
land neither did I want anything to
: eat, my stomach was in such bad
j shape. I can eat anything now,
1 though, and neyer have indigestion.
i feei, fine and hearty and strong
now, and T think it is just wonderful
the way Tanlac broke up all my
troubles. I am not sickly now, and
I do not look nor feel that way. I
guess if I had continued to take
Tanlac I would have gotten so heavy
I would be clumsy by this time.
"Everybody around in my neigh
borhood is talking about the good
Tanlac did me, and we think it almost
worked a miracle forme. Sure
enough, now, it does not seem that
any medicine could have done as
much for anyone as Tanlac did for
me, hut Tanlac is the only medicine
I took and I know it is due all the
credit.
"I am glad to recommend it, and
Tanlac deserves the highest praise I
can give it. I had been planning to
write you and tell you how much
good it did me and how wonderful I
"
! think it is, but I could not find the $
time, it seemed, and so I am glad
you came to see me." \
