TOE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE.

aud his carrots and beetroot the same, but should endeavour to place 
them side by side on one quarter of the garden, and the parsnip 
beds -with them ; he then will be able to see that when the onions 
are removed in August the ground will come in well for a bed of 
spring cabbages, to be planted in the autumn ; and when the other 
crops are removed, and the ground well manured and trenched 
during winter, it will serve for an early crop of cauliflower the next 
spring, and the first batch of Brussels sprouts ; or it might be used 
for an early crop of potatoes, to be followed as soon as taken up in 
July by winter and spring broccoli. In either case, such an arrange- 
ment will be a distinct change in crops, aud will secure those be- 
longing to the cabbage tribe being together. If the quarters are 
large, and will admit of the peas I'or the season’s supply being one 
of them, it should be set aside expressly for them, commencing at 
one side with the first crops, and continuing them so throughout. 
But rather than crowd them, it is advisable to distribute peas overall 
the garden, for they will always pay for their room. Six feet apart is 
the least distance for tall peas, but twelve feet is better for such 
varieties as the Hundredfold, British Queen, Ne Plus Ultra, and a 
few others ; and such distances admit of a fair average crop of any 
other vegetable between, which will sufiPer nothing, but be rather 
benefited by the shade. But assuming that they have been sown 
upon one quarter, our next business is to consider to what other 
purposes we can put the ground after they have done bearing. 
Taking the first crop that was sown, there can be sown between the 
rows a crop of summer spinach or radishes. This crop of peas, and 
the crops of other vegetables between the rows, will be cleared off 
the ground about the third week in June, which will be in excellent 
time to get out a crop of Brussels sprouts, Scotch kale, or a good 
white winter Broccoli. 
As the second crop of peas is removed, there will be more room 
given for spring broccoli, which should be planted as fast as possible 
up to the middle of August. Supposing the broccoli has filled u[) 
half of the quarter, there will still be vacant spaces between the 
later peas ; and here I would |put out the main supply of celery, 
one trench between each two rows of peas. As soon as these are 
off, and there is more space between the celery trenches than is 
wanted, let it be filled up with coleworts for autumn use; these 
will come away in ample time for the earthing of the celery. Such, 
then, is the cropping of one quarter of the garden for a year. If 
the reader will take the trouble to consider it over, he will find that 
by working out this rotation two crops are secured in one year. It 
will be seen, too, that by this arrangement the crops are uniform, 
and follow each other well, for the quarter is in full work all the 
summer, and in the autumn it is well stocked with winter subjects, 
and they altogether, not in patches in various parts of the garden, 
which would sadly interfere with the necessary operations of pul- 
verizing the soil. 
By looking ahead still farther, we shall find this same quarter 
the next summer, or that portion where the celery grew, cropped 
with onions, parsnips and carrots, for which the extra moving of the 
March.
