AUTUMN PLANTING: To ensure an ample supply of green vegetables throughout the winter months, when normal supplies are short and prices are high, now is the time to make preparations for seeding and planting. Always remember that brassica crops such as cabbage and cauliflower should be planted on ridges if success is to be achieved. For preference, make two or three plantings for succession, Allow at least two weeks between plantings. Where spring crops such as potatoes, have been harvested and ample supplies of manure have been applied, make a late sowing of carrots. This crop should be available for use during late winter or early spring. During March land should be prepared to receive strawberry plants, which should be available from the nursery men during late April and early May. The situation should be warm and sunny and well drained and above all rich in organic matter. If at all available horse manure or cow manure incorporated in the soil when digging is most advantageous. During the past season, onion plants for planting out during July and August have been extremely scarce in most districts. This has been the case more or less for several years, and it could be considered very wise if the home gardener sowed perhaps a packet of seed for the purpose of supplying his own needs.
