JUNE] THE KITCHEN GARDEN. 423 



the red pickling cabbage, allowing each kind a sufficient distance ac- 

 cording to the nature of its growth, as directed in the former months. 



But in gardens, where there is no ground vacant, from other crops, 

 or where there is a necessity of making the most of every piece of 

 kitchen ground, you may plant the savoy and cabbage plants between 

 rows of forward beans, and early cauliflowers, or such crops as stand 

 distant, and are soon to come off the ground ; observing to give each 

 plant a little water immediately after planting, unless the ground is 

 sufficiently saturated with moisture. 



You may now sow seeds of any of the early heading kinds of cab- 

 bage, such as the early York, Sugarloaf, or Battersea, to come in both , 

 for small hearts and hard cabbages in autumn. 



BORECOLE, BRUSSELS SPROUTS, JERUSALEM KALE, AND TURNIP 

 CABBAGE. 



The early plants of either of the above kinds may now be planted 

 out, as directed in May ; the late sown crops should be thinned, and 

 those pulled out planted in nursery-beds, four inches asunder, giving 

 them a good watering when planted, and afterwards occasionally, till 

 well established : here they are to remain till of sufficient strength for 

 planting out finally.

BROCCOLI. 



Plant out finally such broccoli plants as are of sufficient size, choose 

 for this purpose a bed of rich mellow earth, and let them be planted 

 at the distances mentioned on page 387. 



Thin the late sown crops, and plant those pulled out into nursery 

 rows, to obtain strength, giving them a good watering immediately 

 after planting. 



Early in the month sow some more seed for a succession crop, to 

 produce their heads in February, &c. For particulars see page 387. 



CELERY. 



The celery plants that have arrived to a sufficient size, should now 

 be finally planted out into trenches. 



Choose for this purpose a piece of rich ground, in an open expo- 

 sure; mark out the trenches by line, ten or twelve inches wide, and 

 allow the space of three feet between trench and trench, which will 

 be sufficient for the early plantations. 



Dig each trench a moderate spade deep, laying the dug out earth 

 equally on each side, between the trenches; lay three inches deep 

 of very rotten dung in the bottom of each trench, then pare the 

 sides and dig the dung and parings with an inch or two of the loose 

 mould at bottom, incorporating all well together, and put in the 

 plants. 



Previous to planting, trim the tops of the plants, by cutting off the 

 long straggling leaves, and also the ends of their roots, leaving the 

 former about six inches long, and the latter two. When, however,
