Obs. Now plant out your strawberries from the nursery, se- 

 lecting the first runners from the old plant. Sow the following 

 seeds in boxes or baskets, for your cold season crop, as they can 

 be better looked after than in beds, using the same precaution 

 for their preservation as recommended in May : cauliflower, 

 broccoli, cabbage, knolkhol, &c. 



In the garden you may put down potatoes, asparagus, 

 artichoke, cucumbers, salad of every description, onions, beet 

 white and red, peas, beans, and all other kinds of runners ; 

 scorzonera, leeks, cress, turnips, and carrots. Also plant out 

 any of the above from the nursery, if ready, in beds, where they 

 are to remain. The latter end of this month is a good time for 

 budding trees, such as apple, peach, orange, &c. ; also to prune 

 your vines. Mulberry cuttings thrive remarkably well if put 

 down.

 month, from seventy-five to ninety degrees.
