 ground during the month.

 bed, and plant out so soon as the 

 ground is in good shape, and 

 weather permits. 



5. Sow in open ground as soon 

 as it can be worked. 



6. To be grown only in hot-bed 

 or greenhouse.

 plants there over winter with a 

 little protection ; plant out in 

 spring as soon as the ground can 

 be worked. 



8. To be sown in open ground, 

 and protected with litter over 

 winter.

N. B. — For last planting of 

 Beans, Sweet Corn, Kohlrabi, 

 Peas and Radishes, or even Toma- 

 toes, take the earliest varieties, 

 just the same as are used for first 

 planting.

 are intended to remain undis- 

 turbed over winter. Roots from 

 these sowings will, the next year, 

 attain a size double that usually 

 seen.
