THE CULINARY GARDEN.

such crops, which will be soon off the ground. Give a 

 moderate dressing of dung, which will encourage them to 

 o-vow to a larxrer size. Plant a considerable number of them, 

 they will become very useful in winter, and afford fine sprouts 

 the following spring, when vegetables are scarce. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



Plant again crops of brussels-sprouts, give water after plant- 

 ing, and treat them in other respects as recommended for 

 broccoli. 



SAVOYS. 



Plant savoys for successional crops; the directions given 

 for broccoli are applicable to the savoy. Or, if ground be 

 scarce, they may be planted between rows of early beans, 

 peas, or such crops, as are to be soon removed off the ground. 



RED BEET. 



The crops of red beet will now be rapidly advancing. Let 

 them be kept clear of weeds. Stir the surface often between 

 them, both to destroy the weeds, and to encourage the growth 

 of the plants. Care must be taken not to injure the roots 

 with the hoe, for if they be cut, they will be useless, 



PRICKING OUT CELERY. 



About the beginning of the month, prick out a number of 

 the April sowing. These will be fit to transplant into the 

 trenches, for a full crop, by the end of July. If the weather 

 be warm and dry, water and shade them for a few days, until 

 they have struck root. 



PLANTING OUT CELERY. 



The plants pricked out in May will be fit to transplant into 

 the trenches about the middle of the month. A few only 

 should be planted at this time, as they are apt to run to seed.
