GARDEN WORK. 



Kitchen Garden.— In cutting asparagus, take only the strongest shoots. Give 

 plenty of water and weak liquid manure. Transplant from seed-beds as fast as the 

 young plants get at all thick, and use the hoe wherever weeds appear, so as to keep 

 them down, before they have time to flower. Plant out capsicums and tomatoes 

 under a hot wall, and cover with bell-glasses till rooted. Sprinkle soot over the 

 o-round, and hoe it in a few days afterwards. Sow broad beans, peas, radish, 

 celery, onions, cabbages, cauliflower, borecole, beet, kidn'ey beans (main crop), 

 lettuce, small salads, spinach, turnips, carrots, endive, and cucumbers ior planting 

 out on ridges early in June. 



Fruit Garden. — Thin the fruit on wall-trees, and syringe all trees that are at 

 all afi'ected with vermin. Clear weeds away from strawberry-beds as fast as they 

 appear. A regular system of disbudding wall-trees should now commence, with a 

 view to get regular growth, and all but wholly supersede the use of the pruning- 

 knife. Rub off every bud that breaks where a shoot is not wanted, and continue 

 the operation during the whole of the summer. Give plenty of water to strawberries
