What to Plant this Month. 



IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



The sowing during this month Is similar to the preced- 

 ing; that is, not a great deal can be sown. The growing 

 crops will require attention as weeds grow fast now. 



Corn may be planted for the la6t supply of roasting 

 ears; also a few Water and Musk Melons. Cucumbers, 

 Squash and Pumpkins planted during this month, gen- 

 erally do well; but If the weather is hot and dry, they 

 require an abundance of water. 



Southern Prolific Pole Beans are the best to plant 

 this menth, as they stand more heat than any other 

 variety. Continue to set out Sweet Potato slips. 



Sow Yellow a»d White Summer Radishes; Endive for 

 salad, also Royal and Perpignan Lettuce. 



To sow Lettuce during the summer month, requires a 

 great deal of attention ; in fact, it requires more care than 

 most people are willing to bestow. 



Before sowing, eoa* the seeds for half an hour i n 

 water, take them out put in a piece of cloth and place in 

 a cool spot under the cistern, or if convenient in an ice 

 box. Keep the cloth moist, and in two or three days the 

 seeds will sprout. Then sow them. It is best to do so in 

 the evening, and give a good watering. 



If the seeds are sown without being sprouted, ants 

 will be likely to carry them away before they can ger- 

 minate, and the seedsman be blamed for selling seeds 

 that did not grow. This sprouting has to be done from 

 May to September, or, if the weather is warm and dry in 

 the latter month, up to the middle of October. 



Should the weather be moist and ceol in the fall it can 

 be dispensed with. 



Some late Cabbage for winter crops may be sown in 

 this month, as the plants are geaerally easier raised 

 during this than the following months; but we consider 

 this month too early for Cabbage seed, as the plants 

 become too hard and long-legged before they can be 

 transplanted. 



Late Italian Giant Cauliflower may be sown in the 

 "early part of this month; towards the end Early Giant 

 can be sown. Some cultivators transplant them, when 

 large enough, at once from the seed-bed into the open 

 ground; others plant them first into flower pots, and 

 transplant into the ground later. However, if trans- 

 planted at this time of the year they will have to be 

 shaded for a few days and watered until they have taken 

 a good hold. 



Sow Tomatoes for late crop towards the end of this 

 month. 



IN THE FIELD. 



Cow Peas for fertilizing purposes can yet be sown. 

 Plant Sweet Potato slips for a late crop. 



IN THE ORCHARD. 



Nothing can be done. 



IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. 

 Follow instructions given for April. 



We have a varied Assortment o! Shade Trees of every description.
