JULY.] KITCHEN VEGETABLES. 95 



Those sown in June, for a full crop, may be final- 

 ly thinned out about the end of the month ; obser- 

 ving to earth them up 3 a above directed, as they 

 advance. 



Of sowing Cardoons. 



Cardoons, for a late crop, may yet be sown ; and 

 they may have a chance to succeed, if the winter 

 prove favourable. Choose as dry a spot as possible, 

 however, and sow as directed in May. 



Of planting late Cauliflowers. 

 Cauliflowers that were sown as directed in May, 

 for a late crop, and pricked out the end of June, 

 will, about the latter end of the month, be fit for 

 planting out for good. Plant in an open exposure, 

 and only at eighteen or twenty inches square, as 

 these will not grow to so large a size as the former 

 crops of the season. Let them be planted in good 

 land, however, that they may be had in as great per- 

 fection as possible, and plenty of them ; as by being 

 properly stored, as will be directed in October, ex- 

 cellent cauliflower may be had at Christmas, and 

 even much later. If the weather be dry, let them 

 be duly watered ; and otherwise attend to them as 

 directed for the other crops of cauliflower, in respect 

 to hoeing and earthing. 



Of planting Celery. 



Celery, for a full crop, may be planted about the 

 middle of the month. For full directions, see June.
