Early Cabbage may be successfully 

 sown. Kohlrabi can be sown, but it is 

 best to sow thinly in drills a foot apart, 

 and thin out to four inches in the rows., 

 instead of transplanting-. Towards the 

 end of this month a sowing- of the late 

 Italian Cauliflower can be made, as it 

 takes from eig-ht to nine months to ma- 

 ture, and, therefore, should be sown 

 early. It is always best to make 

 several sowings so that in case one 

 should fail, the other may be used. The 

 Italian Cauliflower is hardier than the 

 French and German varieties. A good 

 plan is to sow the seed in boxes elevated 

 two or three feet above the g-round, as 

 it will keep the Cabbag-e fly off. The 

 plants should be looked over daily, and 

 all green cabbage worms and other 

 vermin removed.

 ground, plant Corn, Beans, Squash, etc.

OBCHABI}. — Little is to be done dur- 

 ing this month, except perhaps, if the

 dry spell water those which were lately 

 transplanted. 



FIiOWER GARDEN. — Sow Balsams 

 (Lady Slippers), Gomphrenas, Torenias 

 and Amaranthus, Celosia, Vinc'a Rosea.
