 begin, continue bearing till the cold weather deltrcys the

But it fhould be obrrrved th::t where there are not the 

 convenience of iHcks or poles for thefe plants to. ciimb up 

 upon, they will not fuccecd ; and where that is the cafe, 

 it will be beft to plant none but the dwarf kinds. 



^ Capjiciims for Pickling. 



The capficums for pickling, which were fown in March 

 cr April, /hould" now be planted cut; but this ihauTd be 

 done in moift weather. 



Thefe plants being raifed in a hot-bed, are fomcwhat 

 tender, therefore muit not be planted out too foon ; but 

 this may be done any time in the third or fourth week of
