Of planting Brocoli and Brussels Sprouts. 

 Full crops of brocoli and Brussels sprouts may 

 now be planted. Choose good land, in an open si- 

 tuation, which let be deeply dug, and be dunged, 

 if necessary ; and plant in all respects as directed 

 last month. In planting, take advantage of showers, 

 if the weather be moist ; but otherwise, let the 

 plants have a hearty watering or two at root after- 

 wards. 



Of planting, earthing up, and sowing Cabbages. 



Cabbage, for a successional crop, may again be 

 planted. Hoe and earth up the advancing crops as 

 they may need ; and about the middle or end of 

 the month, sow a few for coleworts, to be planted 

 out about the end of July or beginning of August, 

 which will then be noticed. 



Of planting Capsicums. 



The capsicums sown as directed the beginning 

 of May, will be ready for planting out about the 

 end of the month. Plant in a row at the bottom of 

 a wall, pale, or hedge ; or in rows across a warm 

 border of rich earth, having a south aspect. They 

 should be planted in the first instance, at four inches 

 in line ; and when fairly rooted, in two or three 

 weeks, lift the one-half alternately, and plant them 

 out in a similar situation, at . eight or nine inches 

 apart. By this means, a succession will be obtain- 

 ed with little trouble ; and if the latest planted 

 half should not ripen, they will answer for pickling
