JUNE AND JULY IN THE SOUTH 407 



Cucumbers. Plant a few more hills. The plants at this 

 season must "be given plenty of water. 



Endive. - Sow and attend to the tying up of the plants 

 that are of sufficient size. 



Melons. Sow for a succession a few more water and 

 muskmelons. 



Okra can still be sown. 



Radishes. Sow the summer varieties now. 



Squashes and pumpkins may yet be sown. 



Sweet potato vines may now be set out in quantities. 



Tomatoes. About the middle of the month sow for the 

 fall crop. 



JULY 



Beans. Bush and pole beans can be planted towards 

 the end of the month. 



Cabbage and cauliflower may now be sown, but the 

 main sowing should be deferred until next month. 



Carrots. A sowing should be made. 



Celery. Sow and transplant what plants there may 

 be on hand. 



Cucumbers. These can be sown now for pickling. 



Endive. Transplant and sow. 



Grapes should be kept well tied to trellis and unneces- 

 sary growth removed, so that the wood may have the 

 chance of becoming thoroughly ripened. If the cultiva- 

 tor and plow are not used judiciously a second growth 

 will be started, which is not desirable. 



Lettuce. The seed requires to be sprouted before being 

 sown, and if the sowing is done on a dry day the 

 drills should be watered. 



Radishes. Sow the summer kinds. 



Strawberries. Keep the beds clear of weeds and grass. 



Tomatoes. Make a sowing early in the month, or 

 what is much better, take cutting from plants still in 

 bearing. 



Turnips. Sow a few after a shower towards the end 

 of the month. 



Remarks. Much cannot be done this month, as the 

 weather is hot and dry, but the opportunity should not 

 be lost for killing weeds and preparing for the plant- 

 ing season, which is now rapidly drawing near.
