KITCHEN GARDEN. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



Mow and roll grass walks three or four times tins 

 month — gravel walks should now be dug, turned and 

 rolled, if not done last month; in either case roll them 

 twice a week or oftener ; attend carefully to the de- 

 struction of insects and weeds, and to the watering of 

 the garden in general in dry weather. 



GREEN-HOUSE, 



In no season of the year will your green-house 

 make a more conspicuous appearance than this. — - 

 Many of the plants will now he in full bloom ; most of 

 them in a free state of growth ; and a^ the weather 

 will often be very mild, you must admit air very freely 

 every good day, and water abundantly. Cuttings of 

 myrtles, geraniums, ro3es and many other sorts, may 

 »ow be struck freely in a moderate hot bed.

 from gourds, punripkins, &c. else the farina of the lat- 

 ter will injure the melons.

 You will now have crops in your hot beds ready for 

 use. The plants of last month will be above ground,
