STECKLER SEED CO., LTD,, ALMANAC AND STRAWBERRY SHOOKS OR DIRT Eggplants. Musk Melons and Early Cucumbers pay well if they come e-irly into the market. In order io have them enrly it is a good plan to start ihetn in a cold frame in what arecalled "Dirt ; This is a box 4 inches square and 4 inches deep, with- out bottoms. These are placed in a frame and rilled up with good rich soil, and five or six seeds in each box; when the plants come up thin them out .0 one or two in each box. The time to start them in this way varies as seasons and localities differ. It is not well to stnrt them too early, as the plants get weak and spindly if kept too long in the frame. Fiom the middle to the end of February is the usual time to plant the seed in this locality, New Orleans. When large enough to plant out. which will be in from four to five weeks after planting, take the boxes with the plants in them out of the frame, by slipping a spade under the box. Plant without breaking the ball of soil on the plants.
