or fix, which will be fufficient : let the reft be drawn out 

 with care, and clear away all the weeds. 



Then earth up the (hanks of the remaining plants, with- 

 ih a little of the feed-leaves, preffing them gently afunder 

 at regular dillances from one another, and immediately 

 give each hole a light watering to fettle the earth ; the 

 plant-; after this will get flrength, and grow away fur- 

 prifingly. 



Let them be often refreihed with water in dry weather ; 

 for they will in a dry time need a little every other day. 



Sowing and planting Pickling Cucumbers, 



Cucumber feed may ftill be fown where required ; and 

 the firll week in the month is not too late to fow a full 

 crop of picklers. If you put the feed into the ground 

 any time between the firft and fifteenth day of the month, 

 it will fucceed ; but, however, where a main crop is de- 

 pending, we advife to fow the feed the beginning of the 

 month. 



The plants raifed from thefe fowings will come into 

 bearing about the beginning or middle of Auguil, and 

 they will yield fruit plentifully all the remaining part of 

 that month, and great part of September. 



We hinted lail: month, with regard to pickling cucum- 

 bers, that the kitchen gardeners about London, in wet 

 cold feafons, often raife their plants on a flight hot-bed, 

 fowing the feed in the third week in May. And where 

 that was pradifed, it is now time, in the firft or fecond 

 week in this month, to tranfplant them ; which Ihould be 

 done when the plants begin to put out their firft rough 

 leaves. 



Let the method of planting be obferved as direded laft 

 month. 



Celery, 



Tranfplant celery into trenches to remain to blanch. 



That which was fown early will be grown to a proper fize 

 for this purpofe by the firft or fecond week of this month, 

 when it ftiould be planted ; and fome of the- fecond fow- 

 ing fhould be planted out towards the latter end of the 

 month for a general crop. 



Choofe for thefe plants a piece of rich ground in an 

 open fituation; then mark out the trenches by line, about 



a foot
