Tt tho seed is good, tho cutting of

growth.
Manuring land by plowing undor
somo kind of grcon crop, such as millot,
buckwheat, pats or peas, should bo tho

excellent, and lime should bo freely

Potting Hyacinths.
As tho eonson for potting Hyacinths,
etc., is near nt hand, nnd never having
seen tho method I practico in print
although others may practico it, I dcom
it of somo importanco in tho way of
cleanliness and convonloncot bunco
this communication, that nthore, if
thoy choose, may avail thomselvos of it
in preference to burying thoir pots after
planting. I first select such sized pots
as aro snitablo for tho different kinds of
bulbs nnd plant them in tho usunl way,
treating Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocuses,
Narcissus, etc., nil nliko. I thon tnko
Cots smaller than tho pots in which tho
ulbH aro planted, fill them with oarth
and invert them over tho bulb, pressing
them down slightly; thus I Bccuro tho
necessary darkness whilo tho roots aro
ponctrating tho soil, tho weight of tho
pot and contents preventing tho bulb
from rising, as is sometimes tho case.
I then set thorn in tho collar, or on
tho floor of tho grcenhouso, or other
convenient place, givo attention to
watoring, and upon inspection, which is
easily done, select such as aro tho far
thcrcit advanced, romoving tho upper
pots, placing thoso selected in tho light,
pursuing tho usual courso ; tho llomana
especially soon go into bloom.

Tho following is tho rulo for raising
early cabbages, as given to tho Ameri
can Cultivator, by W. D. Philbrick. It
is for early cabbagos as grown for tho
Boston mnrkot, and will bo found to bo
very interesting reading:
Those who want thoir cabbages oarly
gonerally plant scod about tho 10th to
to tho lfith of February, in a mild hot
bed, and transplant to another bod
when thoy havo four loaves, planting
them 200 to each sash. Tho plants
should bo airod froely, so as to givo thorn
stocky growth,nnd whonovor tho wcathor
is fine will do hotter if tho glass is en
tirely removed for tho day. About
April 10 to 12 tho glass can bo taken off
to uso on cucumbers, covering tho cab
bage plants at night with shuttors in
caso cf frost.
About April 20 it is usual to plant
out the early cabbages in tho flold if it
can bo mnuo ready, but tho propnrntion
of tho land requires that it should bo
dry enough to work mellow. If tho land
was heavily manured in fall it is usual
to givo in spring a dressing of night
soil or nitrate ol Boda in addition. If
no manuro was put on in fall n dressing
of twenty cords per aero sproad and
plowed in togcthor with half a ton of
somo good fertilizer or eight loads of
night soil per aero will do no harm ; for
it Is an old and true saying that tho Inst
load of manuro on the early cabbago
field makes the profit. It takes more
than donblo the manure to grow early
cabbages that is required for lata ones,
which Is explained by tho chemists by
tho fact that nitrification in tho soil
goes on rapidly in the summer, but
siowiy in spring.
The land for early cabbages should
bo well drained and mellow, and if dry
enough to suffer by drought, it should
be provided Vith a supply of water ; for
tuero nro lew crops tnat antler moro
quickly from drought. Tho land is pro
pared by plowing twice and rolling, then
throwing into drills thrco feet apart, on
which tho cabbago plants 'are set by
band two feet apart after a marker, or
about 7000 plants por acre.
In most places except Arlington, the
early cabbage is subject to tho attacks
ot tbe maggot. Tins is the larva of a
small ily, resembling tho house fly,
which begins to deposit its ectra on tho
cabbage stumps early in May. The eggs
are very small ana wmto, ana are closo
to the surface of the ground, If one
goe over the field and rubs oft these
eggs threo or four times between May 1
and May 16, ho will not usually hnvd
much troublo from iho maggot, other
wise they frequently ruin tho crop alto
gether, or in part.
Early cabbages should bo hoed or cul
tivated ovory ton days, or after ovory
rain, to koop the land around thorn mel
low until tho loaves spread so as to stop
this. Thoy will ncod ono or two hoo
ings nfter tho cultivator stops. Thcro is
no crop that responds so quickly to
thorough tilth and heavy manuring as
cabbages. About Juno 20 tho first
heads orpin to gcthnrdonough for mar
ket, and from this to tho middlo of July
the cnbbngo field usually loads the mar
kot'wagon pretty hcnvily.
Tho best very early cabbago is tho
Wakefield ; it is small, however, nnd i
quickly followed by tho much lnrgor
Henderson, nnd by Ixiw's Pecrloss,
which is nearly tho samo thing, though
poriiaps a triflo bettor. About tho mid
dlo of July tho larger Fottlor's drumhead
comes in nnd supplies tho market till
winter.
Early cnbbngcs wcro wcro formorly
far moro profitublo than now, tho writor
well romembcring seeing them sold in
1807 for $18 por hundred. Now thoy
seldom bring over sovon cents, and aro
often as low ns four or fivo cents each.
Usually n good crop of cabbago will
yield $300 to $500 per aero, but a poor
crop will not pay for tho oxponsivo ma
nuring required. Tho cost of raising
thorn, including plants, cannot bo
placed much below $200 por aero,
charging'thom with two-thirds tho valuo
of tho manuro, which is perhaps hardly
enough, for thoy aro hungry feeders
ana leavo tno land rntner poor, oven
nfter very honvy manuring.
