about four or five inches. 
Cauliflowers that have been sheltered under hand-glasses, will now have pretty far advanced. 
Let the glasses be entirely removed, and if the weather should be dry, give them a good 
supply of water or cow-wash, (see page 490.) Also sow some more seed towards the end 
of the month for Michaelmas and winter crops. 
Broccoli. Plant out the early raised plants two feet apart, for heading in autumn, and sow a full 
crop early in the month, of Purple and White, for winter and spring use. 
Leeks. — See page 440.

Asparagus. Old productive beds will novi- be in full bearing. When gathering, be careful to
