432 THE KITCHEN GARDEN. [July. 



quently repeated till they are newly rooted and in a free growing 

 state. The laying of a fresli cabbage leaf over each plant when 

 set, will afford protection from the sun for a few days, which will 

 be of considerable service. Some seed of the green curled bore- 

 cole may now be sown for a late crop. 



Transplanting and Sowing Endive. 



Plant out, to supply the table early in autumn, a sufficient quan- 

 tity of the best and stoutest endive; it requires a good, strong, and 

 (at this season) moist ground; if well dunged, it will be an addi- 

 tional advantage. Put in the plants a foot asunder every way, and 

 water them immediately, which repeat every evening till the plants 

 have taken root. 



Sow endive seed in an open, cool, and moist situation, two or 

 three times this month, for the greater certainty of procuring a re- 

 gular supply; let it be of the curled kind, and sown tolerably thin, 

 for when the plants grow too close in the seed-beds, they are more 

 subject to start soon to seed than if they had been raised at mode- 

 rate distances. Give occasional waterings to the seed-beds both 

 before and after the plants appear, which will greatly encourage 

 their free growth. 



Kidney -Beans. 



You may plant kidney-beans of the dwarf kinds any time this 

 month; or, in order to have a regular succession, some may be 

 planted in the beginning, middle, and end thereof. The running 

 kinds will also succeed well if planted in the early part of the 

 month. It will, however, be necessary at this time to water the 

 drills, or lay the beans to soak in river or pond water about five or 

 six hours previous to planting, or if both be done, it will be still 

 better. 



Cauliflowers. 



The late sown cauliflowers intended for winter use may now be 

 planted out finally if not done before. 



In planting this crop, it would be of essential advantage to take 

 opportunity of showery or moist weather if such should happen in 

 proper time; plant them in rows two feet and a half asunder, and 

 the same distance in the row; let them be directly watered, and 

 afterwards at times, till they have taken good root. 



Small Sallading. 



Continue to sow crops of small sallading every eight or ten days, 

 as directed in the former months; but these must now be sown on 

 shady borders, or else be shaded with mats, occasionally, from the 

 mid-day sun, and frequently watered both before and after the 

 plants appear above ground.
