34 THE CULINARY GARDEN. 



Attend to the carrot sown as directed in January, 

 and let them be cleared of weeds, have moderate 

 supplies of water, and free air admitted every day, 

 according to the state of the weather. 



Of sowing and planting Cauliflower. 



Sow on an early border of rich earth, at the be- 

 ginning, and also at the end of the month, for a suc- 

 cession of summer cauliflower. The border in front 

 of a stove, pit, or early forcing-house, is a very eli- 

 gible situation, and preferable to a hot-bed. 



About the middle or end of the month, plant out, 

 for an early crop, on a warm, rich border, well ma- 

 nured, at two feet square ; and observe not to plant 

 too deep. If it be intended to cover with hand- 

 glasses, a few to come in the earliest, they may be 

 planted so as that a glass may cover two plants ; but 

 if bell glasses are to be used, one under each will be 

 enough. 



Of sowing Celery. 



Celery, for an early crop, may be sown about the 

 latter end of the month. Choose a rich, light bed 

 of earth, on an early border ; or sow at the bottom 

 of a wall or other fence. Cover lightly, and rake 

 fine. If this vegetable were required very early, it 

 might be sown the beginning of the month ; and its 

 progress might be promoted by being covered with 

 a few hand-glasses, or a frame and lights. But ob- 

 serve, this sowing is not to be depended on for a 

 crop j the plants raised so early being apt to shoot 

 for seed. See March and April. Upright solid 

 celery is the best kind to sow at any season*
