celery, a portion for early use. Sow successive crops of 

 cucumbers, of choice varieties. Plant Early Mammoth 

 Sugar corn for a succession. Sow endive. Thin or 

 transplant leeks. A few peas may be planted as a suc- 

 cession. 



SouTHERX. — Plant beans; trans})lant cabbage and 

 cauliflower, and Spring-heading broccoli seed may be 

 sown. Cucumbers, melons and squashes may be planted. 

 Sow tomato9s for a succession, beginning with the Early 

 Jersey, Acme and Perfection. The chief labor in the 

 garden had better be directed to what is already in 

 growth ; but few seeds sown in hot weather, in a South- 

 ern climate, repay the trouble. 



JULY, 



NoRTHERX. — This, like June, is the month of labor 

 in the garden. Weeds are in rapid growth, plants are to 

 be set out, and various matters require attention. 



Plant Landreth's Scarlet beans for succession; beets, 

 the stock-feeding varieties, Long Blood Sugar; mangold 

 wurtzel may be planted for stock as late as the first of 

 July. June is, however, much better. Beets, Early 

 Blood Red Turnip, and half Long for late winter and 

 spring use, may be sown. The winter sorts of cabbage 

 should now be planted out ; where many are to be trans- 

 planted it is best to wait for a suitable time, a heavy rain 

 or showery weather ; but in a small garden cabbages may 

 be transplanted at almost any season by careful watering, 

 and, if need be, shading. Plant celery. Sow endive. 

 A few peas may be sown, but they seldom do well at this 

 season. Turnips of all kinds may be sown. 



SouTHERX. — Under favorable conditions, plant 

 beans. Transplant cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. 

 Transplant leeks. Sow Nantes carrots and parsnips. 

 Sow endive for early cro}^. A few turnips may be sown. 

 Transplant celery for early supply, and prepare trenches
