Reminders of Work to be Done. June. 375 



upon beware of driblets ; watering should be done thoroughly 

 or not at all. A mulch of long manure after a good soaking 

 prevents undue evaporation and by retaining the moisture tn 

 the soil for the use of the plants has a marvellous effect in 

 promoting vigour in a dry season. 



In the French garden the only things which need special 

 mention are the necessity for regular watering of all crops and 

 proper attention to stopping and training cucumber and melon 

 plants, in connection with which it is advisable to study the 

 chapters dealing with those subjects.
