IN THE KITCHEN GARDEN. 589 



from seeds sown April, 1830, taken up in November, 

 kept in dry mould in the cellar through the winter, and 

 planted out again the 7th of April. In forty-eight 

 days they had pushed forth vigorous young shoots of 

 from six to nine inches in length, not only from the 

 roots, but from their stems also, which had, in a man- 

 ner, become frutescent. See this plant under the head 

 of Kidney Beans. 



Plant out Artichokes, Ash-leaved, Kidney, and other 

 early Potatoes, on warm borders, to succeed those grown 

 in frames. In planting out early Potatoes, those sets 

 which are cut with one eye only to each will come in 

 sooner by ten days or a fortnight than those cut with 

 two eyes or more. It will be right to remember this 

 when planting Potatoes in frames. 



Divide and plant out Balm, Chamomile, Hyssop, 

 Lavender, Marjoram, Mint, Pennyroyal, Rhubarb, 

 Sage, Sea Kale, Sorrel, Tansy, Tarragon, and Thyme. 



Sow Capsicums and Love- Apples on hot-beds. Sow 

 on warm borders and in the open quarters Asparagus, 

 Beets, Cabbages, Cardoons, Celery, Chervil, Couve 

 Tronchuda, Garden and Kidney Beans, Dutch Tur- 

 nips, Lettuces, Nasturtiums, Peas, Pot-herbs, Radishes, 

 Salsafy, Scorzonera, Skirret, Small Salading, Spinach, 

 and Winter Greens ; which see. 



Transplant Lettuces and Couve Tronchuda from 

 the frames ; and, towards the end of the month, Cauli- 

 flowers from under frames and hand-glasses. 



May. 



Continue hot-beds for Cucumbers and Melons. Sow 

 seeds of Cucumbers under hand-glasses ; and ridge out 

 those which were sown last month, to come in for the 

 first hand-glass crop.
