HORTICULTURAL MEMORANDA 



FOR JUNE. 



FRUIT DEPARTMENT. 



Grape Vines will soon be swelling rapidly, and will require a liberal 

 quantity of air — always given early in the morning — and a good supply of 

 moisture, which should be created by watering the walks about four o'clock 

 in the afternoon just after the sashes are closed for the night. If dry 

 weather should set in, the border should be mulched with some coarse 

 strawy manure. Continue to stop the laterals, and tie in all leading shoots. 

 If the bunches have not been properly shouldered, they should be imme- 

 diately attended to. Young vines raised from eyes should now be shifted 

 into larger pots.
