GARDENING. 



ing's* (or cuttings,) cut edgings, clear 

 away weeds, \Aater freely, mow lawns 

 and vallies, and clip hedges. 



In the Nursery. You may inoculate 

 stove-fruit trees, examine last years' 

 buds, graft in general ; inoculate roses ;- 

 propagate hardy exotics, water seed- 

 lings, and shade them ; water trees new- 

 ly planted, and transplant seedling pines, 

 firs, &c. 



In the Green-house. Admit air to the 

 fullest extent, and bring the plants out in- 

 to the open air ; water and stir the soil in 

 the pots, wash off dust, destroy insects, 

 cleanse the interior well, plant cuttings 

 and slips of myrtle, geranium, &c. Pro- 

 pagate succulent plants, letting the 

 cuttings remain in a dry airy place about 

 ten days. You may inarch upon orange 

 and lemon trees, make layers of green- 

 house shrubs, and transplant seedling 

 exotics. 



In the Hot-house. Give fresh air and 

 abundance of water, but not too much at 

 a time : take off the crown and side swell- 

 ers from the ripe fruit, as they will in two 

 years bear fruit. 



JULY. 



Kitchen-garden. Plant out the princi- 

 pal crops of cabbages, &c. watering them 

 well for several days ; plant out brocoli, 

 and sow seed for spring crops ; transplant 

 endive, and sow seed for winter crops; 

 you may yet sow kidney and scarlet 

 beans; set out the cauliflowers sown in 

 May; sow small sulading and winter 

 onions, also carrots for autumn ; trans- 

 plant celery, and land up that formerly 

 set out; sow turnips; plant out lettuce, 

 sow some seed also of winter spinach, 

 ra'.^shcs, and cole-worts; pull onions, 

 garlic, and shallots ; be prudent in not 

 giving much water to your ripening me- 

 lons, as it would hurt their flavour; for 

 the same reason shelter them from heavy 

 rain. When you have cut artichokes, 

 break the stem down close to the root. 

 Set out cardoons, gather seeds, trans- 

 plant leeks, collect herbs for distilling 

 while early in flower ; plant sage, &.c. 

 gather physical and pot-herbs for dry-

 ed, lay them, as also double sweet-wil- 

 liams, &.c. transplant former layers, pro- 

 pagate pinks by pipings; set out peren- 

 nial plants, clean your auriculas, trans- 

 plant their seedlings; take up remain- 

 ing bulbs, propagate the double scarlet 

 lychnis, &c. by cuttings; mow lawns 

 and walks, cut edgings, and clip hedges, 

 destroy weeds, and cut away decayed 

 flower-stems.
