HOCKINGS' GARDEN MANUAL. 



Farm. — Too much care can scarcely be bestowed 

 upon potatoes dug up this month, to protect them from 

 the sun. They should be dug up as soon as the skin 

 is firm, as they are liable to rot in the ground from the 

 great heat. Keep the crops clean, and thin them out 

 where too much crowded. Attend to the tobacco as 

 directed last month.
