Sow the seeds as advised for cabbage, and when large enough to 

 handle transplant into well maniired beds in rows 15 inches apart, and 

 9 inches in the rows keeping the soil between constantly stirred. Kohl 

 Rabi should be fit for the table in about ten weeks from sowing. The.y 

 do remarkably well in Trinidad and should be more largely grown ; at 

 present they are but little known. 



CARROTS. 



Sow the seed in shallow drills one foot apart and lightly cover with 

 soil ; thin the seedlings when quite young to a distance of three inches 

 apart. 



"When large enough for the table pull out every alternate plant, and 

 allow the rest to mature which should take about three months. In dry 

 weather give plentiful supplies of water and keep the beds well hoed. 



TOMATOES. 



Among the many varieties tested, the following can be recomixiended, 

 " Ham -Gr'een," "Sunrise," "■ Chamj)ion," "Globe," "Red Rock," and 

 "Ponderosa." Sow the seeds thinly in boxes, or in well prepared beds 

 in the open ground, to obtain stui'dy plants, transplant to other boxes 

 or beds when they are about two inches high. The final transplanting 

 should be into beds which have been well trenched and manured. Plant 

 in straight rows three feet apart at a distance of two feet between each 

 plant in the row. Each plant should have a strong four feet stake for 

 support and be tied to it as necessary. All lateral or side growths 

 should be pinched out as fast as they appear, or these will grow at 

 the expense of the fruit. The tomato is a gross feeder and should be 

 liberally supplied with well rotted pen manure when the young fruits 

 have formed. Tomatoes are occasionally subject to various diseases 

 particularly during the wet season, and when badly attacked it is advis- 

 able to burn the plants and grow the next crop in a different part of the 

 garden. 



EGG PLANTS OR MELONGENES. 



Seeds should be saved from good selected fruit, and sown either in 

 beds or boxes ; transplant the seedlings when large enough in beds of 

 heavily manured soil at a distance of 3 feet by 5. The flea beetle often 

 proves troublesome, and to check this the plants should be occasionally 

 sprayed with Bordeaux mixture to which is added lead arsenate paste in 

 the proportion of 4 lb. to 50 gallons of the Bordeaux mixture. If 

 s^Drayed with the latter the fruits should be thoroughly washed before 

 being used. 



PUMPKINS, SQUASHES AND CUCUxMBERS. 

 Dig the trench two feet deep and of about the same width ; fill with 

 well rotted pen manure, replacing all the soil to form a bank or ridge. 

 Sow the seeds three feet apart on the bank or a few inches apart in 

 boxes, and transplant when several leaves have formed according to 

 the vai-iety. Pinch out the tips of the plants when they are about 

 6 inch high, and afterwards pinch off the tip of each shoot two joints 

 beyond the young fruit to cause them to swell. Attacks of green fly or 

 aphis which sometimes prove troublesome can be kept in check by 

 spraying with a solution of nico.tine, 1 part in 500 of water.
