The Garden in June — A Resume June 



The rapid development of plants in spring, and R6sum6 

 particularly the opening of the Rose season, affords 

 great pleasure to the garden lover. Work increases 

 but it is agreeable work. The lawn should have special 

 attention in rolling, mowing, and trimming edges. 

 Daisies, Dandelions, Plantains, and other weeds should 

 be got rid of. 



A large number of biennials and perennials can be 

 sown in June for flowering the following year. 



Several important plants are dealt with in June. 

 Thus, Dahlias may be planted out. Chrysanthemums 

 given their final potting, Roses disbudded, and Mal- 

 maison Carnation propagated. Spring-flowering shrubs 

 may be pruned. Fuchsias may be repotted and stopped. 

 Fibrous-rooted Begonias for the garden may be planted. 



Vineries will need early and thorough ventilation and 

 a great deal of water. Late crops will need thinning. 

 Peaches and Nectarines should be thinned also. 

 American Blight on fruit trees should be destroyed 

 promptly. Straw should be spread between rows of 

 Strawberries, and the fruit netted. Apples and Pears 

 may be thinned if the crop is very thick. The first 

 stage of summer pruning may be entered upon. Wall 

 fruit trees should be watered in dry weather. Melons 

 should be pruned. 



In the kitchen garden more Kidney Beans may be 



sown, and early Celery and winter Greens planted. 



Rosette Colewort and a late crop of Peas may be sown. 



Leeks may be planted. All ground should be hoed
