98 THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



turnips, cauliflowers, brocoli, celery, radishes. 

 Plant snap beans. Transplant cabbages. Prick 

 out celery. 



Remarks. There is not much probability of 

 either beets, parsnips, carrots, or turnips, succeed- 

 ing at this season, especially the last ; yet if want- 

 ed, a few may be ventured ; under very favorable 

 circumstances, they may succeed. If carrots be 

 sown, the ground should be shaded and kept moist, 

 and this continued to the plants sometime after they 

 * are up, or they will be killed by the hot sun. 



JUNE. Sow cauliflowers, brocoli, cabbages, car- 

 rots, tomatoes. Plant snap beans, orka. Trans- 

 plant celery, cabbages, leeks. Prick out cauli* 

 flowers, brocoli, and celery. 



Remarks. This month is generally very dry and 

 hot, and all the crops recommended to be sown 

 now, must be protected from the sun : most of 

 them should have been sown in April, and it is 

 only in case of failure or omission, that they should 

 now be sown ; the month may be considered bad 

 for the sowing of seeds generally. 



JULY. Sow early Dutch turnips, ruta baga, car- 

 rots parsnips, cabbages, cauliflowers, brocoli, en- 

 dive, radishes, spinach. Plant snap beans, Irish 

 potatoes, melons. Transplant cabbages, celery, 

 cauliflowers, brocoli, tomatoes, and leeks. 



Remarks. A few only of carrots, parsnips, spi- 

 nach, or radishes, should be sown, as it is not very 

 probable that they will succeed, unless well pro- 

 tected from the sun for some length of time, while 

 young. The early Dutch turnips should also be 

 sown towards the middle and last of the month, in 

 small quantities. The Irish potatoe will be fit for 

 use in October, and the tomatoes will furnish a sup-
