Jnhj.\ THE CULINARY GARDEN. IfjO 



When the plants have attained a moderate size, they should 

 be carefully weeded, which, if neglected, the weeds will soon 

 overtop the plants, and check them in their growth, if not 

 wholly destroy them. (See next month.) 



SOWING WELSH ONIONS. 



This is a very hardy sort of onion, and withstands the 

 severest frosts. Sow now a small bed of them, and they will 

 come in use in the spring. It is a perennial plant, and need 

 not be sown every year. A bed, in tolerably good ground, will 

 last two or three years, or longer, 



PLANTING LEEKS. 



If a sufficient quantity of leeks were not transplanted last 

 month, let it now be done. The ground should be well ma- 

 nured, as they will remain upon it till the following spring. 

 Leeks are, to use the common expression, a gi'oss feeder, 

 therefore the ground cannot be too highly manured for them. 



sow BROCCOLI SEED. 



Broccoli-seed may be sown at this time for a late spring 

 crop, and it should be the last sowing of the season. It 

 would also be advisable that the seed should be in the ground 

 before the tenth, or at the latest, before the fifteenth of the 

 month. A bed of rich mellow earth should be chosen for this 

 seed, and if the weather be dry, a moderate watering should 

 be given. 



About the middle, or the latter end of August, or the begin- 

 ning of September, the plants raised from this sowing will be 

 sufficiently forward to prick out where they are to remain, and 

 in April, or the beginning of May, a supply of small heads 

 will be obtained. 



PLANTING BROCCOLI. 



A full crop of broccoli may now be transplanted, for which 

 purpose a piece of the richest ground should be dug, ond if it
