rate distances. Give occasional Avaterings to the seed-beds, both 
before and after the plants appear, which will greatly encourage 
their free growth. 
Kidney -Beans. 
You may plant kidney-beans, of the dwarf kinds, any time this 
month; or, in order to have a regular succession, some may be 
planted in the beginning, middle, and end thereof. The running 
kinds will also succeed well, if planted in the early part of the month. 
It will, however, be necessary at this time, to water the drills, or lay 
the beans to soak in river or pond water, about five or six hours, 
previous to planting, or if both be done, it will be still better. 
Cauliflowers. 
The late sown cauliflowers, intended for winter use, may now be 
planted out finally, if not done before. 
In planting this crop, it would be of essential advantage to take 
opportunity of showery or moist weather, if such should happen in 
proper time; plant them in rows, two feet and a half asunder; and 
the same distance in the row; let them be directly watered, and 
afterwards at times, till they have taken good root. 
Small Sallading. 
Continue to sow crops of small sallading every eight or ten days 9 
as directed in the former months; but these must now be sown on 
shady borders, or else be shaded with mats, occasionally, from the 
mid-day sun, and frequently watered, both before and after the 
plants appear above ground. 
Carrots. 
Towards the end of this month you may sow some carrot seed, 
to raise young roots for the table in autumn and winter. Choose an 
open situation and light ground, and let the seed be sown, imme- 
diately, while the earth is fresh after being dug. When the plants 
are up an inch or two, thin them to five or six inches every way. 
Celery. 
This is a proper time to plant out into trenches a full crop of 
celery, for autumn and winter use; let this be performed, in every 
respect, as directed in page 406, which see. The red stalked celery 
is extremely valuable, blanches very white, and is by most people, 
who have had the opportunity of cultivating it, preferred to any 
other. 
The following method of planting out celery may also be prac- 
tised, which for the ease of preserving the plants in winter will be 
found extremely convenient; besides, a greater quantity can be 
raised on the same complement of land. Lay out the ground
