No greater gardening convenience has been devised in many years than the paper flower pots now available In various sixes which can be unfolded away from the roots of the plant when it comes time to transplant. By the use of these paper pots which are fairly durable, plenty lasting enough go raise seedlings to sufficient site, great advantages can be secured In growing •ueh vegetables as peppers, egg plants and cucumbers and melons for an early start. One or two seeds to a |»t of the two-inch size ma| be planted and the stronger of the two seedlings re tained to grow along. For plants which cannot be trans planted readily if the roots are dis turbed in the operation these paper pots are Ideal If cucumbers can be given two or three weeks start by this method, they are in much better shape RAPER POT UNFOLDED AND SEEDLING READY FOR.

NG to withstand the ravages of the early bugs which annually take heavy toll of the seeding plants in the open ground and make it necessary to plant more seeds to the bill than could be grown should they all survive. In the larger -sized paper pots, gladi olus bulbs as well as tuberoses may be sprouted and placed In the ground with an advantage of a month's growth over the earliest date it would be poaslble to plant them in the open. The pots are so cheap in price that they can be thrown away after using with no real loss. One precaution is necessary in us ing these pots. They should not be allowed to stand in water or the bot toms will rot out while the sides re main intact. It is necessary to provide drainage in all but the smallest sizes with pieces of broken eartheD flower pots, crockery or a few pebbles. Castor beans may be given a fine start with these paper pots which will - bring them to majestic proportions much earlier than if planted in the open. Planting the seeds in these little pvts saves the work of trans planting which will become imperative if the seed s planted In the usual way In a seed box Indoors or In rows in a hotbed or cold frame.—National Gar den Bureau.

The United States Depart ment of Agriculture tells how: For the home garden, radish seed should be sown In the open ground as soon as the soil is moderately warm Plant in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, and as soon as the plants are up thin them slightly in onler to prevent . crowding. Radishes require to be grown on a quick, rich soil, and some . of the earlier sorts can be matured In - two or three weeks after planting. If ■ the radishes grow slowly they will have a pungent flavor and will not be fit for table use For a constant sup ply successive plantings should be made every two weeks, as the roots loee their crispness and delicate flavor If allowed to remain long In the open ground. As a rule a large percent age of radish seed will grow, and It Is often possible by careful «owing to avoid the necessity of thinning, the first radishes being pulled as soon as they are sufficient size for tabla use, thus making room for those that will stature later.
