408 CALENDAR — JUNE. 



in very moist and cloudy weather. Proceed with the 

 laying down of lawns and gravel-walks, keeping the 

 grass short, and the borders and walks free from weeds. 



JUNE. 



Kitchen Garden. — Sow peas and beans for late 

 crops. The kinds used for early crops are likewise best 

 for this purpose. Sow salading every ten days ; also 

 carrots and onions for drawing young. In the begin- 

 ning- of the month, sow endive for an early crop. In 

 the first w^ek, sow cardoons and turnips for succession; 

 and, in the third week, for a full autumn crop. Sow 

 scarlet and white runners for a late crop ; and, in the 

 "middle of the month, early cabbages, to be used as 

 coleworts. 



Plant full crops of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, savoys, 

 German greens, and leeks ; ridge out early celery, and 

 successional crops of cabbage and cauliflower. In the 

 first fortnight of the -month, put out cucumber plants, 

 in a warm border, placing hand-glasses over them ; these 

 will afibrd small cucumbers for pickling. Draw and 

 st'ore winter onions. 



Fruit Trees. — Attend particularly to the training and 

 pruning of the summer shoots of all descriptions of 

 wall and trellis trees. Standards do not require this, 

 except those that are trained en fijramide or en que- 

 nouille. Mulch and water fruit-trees and strawberries 

 in dry weather, desisting from watering as soon as the 

 fruit begins to ripen. Net over cherry-trees, to protect 

 the fruit from birds. Destroy insects by frequent wash- 

 ings and directing tobacco-smoke against them, or by 

 strewing snuff (the fine powder of tobacco) over them.
