for planting in June, 



That planted out in June, will now require to be 

 earthed up. Let this be done in dry weather ; pre- 

 viously hoeing the ground among the plants, whe- 

 ther it be clean or foul of weeds, in order to stir the 

 earth about them. Be careful not to bury the heart 

 leaves, otherwise the growth of the plants will be 

 much retarded. Observe to pull out any plants 

 that may have run for seed, as such are useless, and 

 exhaust the soil. 



This earthing must be repeated once in two or 

 three weeks, according to the growth of the plants ; 

 but never earth too much at a time $ rather repeat 

 it the oftener, and always in a dry day. The crop 

 planted in July will also require to be earthed up a 

 little, about the end of the month. Observe the 

 same rules for it, and for that now planted ; and it 

 will be unnecessary to say more of celery for the 

 season, 



Of planting Coleworts. 



Coleworts may still be planted, if not done as 

 directed last month ; which see. If a succession, 

 be required, plant some more about the latter end 

 of the month.
