IN THE KITCHEN GARDEN. 591 



July. 



Sow Cape Broccoli, Endive, Kidney Beans, Lettuces, 

 Spinach, and Turnips. 



Hoe Carrots, Leeks, Onions, Parsnips, and Turnips. 



Plant out Broccoli, Cauliflowers, Couve Tronchuda, 

 and Winter Greens. Plant out Celery on the flat sur- 

 face of rich ground, and in trenches; taking care to 

 to take up each plant with all its roots, and to divest it 

 of all its side shoots, to its principal leaves, which would 

 otherwise prevent its making a fine clean handsome 

 head. 



Prepare Mushroom Spawn, if not done last month. 



Cucumbers will now be in full bearing upon the 

 ridges, and should be kept pegged down, stopping the 

 leading runners, so as to keep the plants close, and the 

 ridges completely filled up. 



In earthing up the hills of Melons, one or two of the 

 frames or pits may now be spawned for Mushrooms, as 

 directed under that head : these will produce their crop 

 in the autumn. 



Take up Garlic, Potatoe Onions, Rocambole, and 

 Shallots, when the leaves begin to decay, and lay them 

 on mats in an airy place to dry. 



August. 



Sow Cabbages, Cape Broccoli, Couve Tronchuda, 

 Endive, Lettuces, and Flanders Spinach : this last is 

 much superior to the Bourdeaux or Prickly Spinach. 

 If the Flanders Spinach cannot be obtained conveniently, 

 the Prickly must be resorted to. Sow also Strasburgh 

 and Welsh Onions, Turnips, Turnip and Spanish 

 Radishes. 



Plant out Celery and Winter Greens. Earth up 

 early Celery and Cardoons. Spawn Melon beds and 

 pits, and make Mushroom beds under sheds or in the 

 Mushroom-house.
