General Directions. — It is an excellent 
sign of good management, to see that every 
part of the garden is covered with a useful 
crop. G-ather and properly store the ripen- 
ing crops of all kinds ; and remove such as 
peas, beans, &c. when they have done bearing ; 
where it can be done, trench the ground 
and replant it immediately. Suffer no weeds 
to run to seed ; and allow no crop to suffer 
for want of thinning, hoeing, or watering. 
Earth up advancing crops when dry. 
Angelica. — Sow as soon as the seed is ripe, 
in a rich loam, and rather a shady place. 
Borage. — Sow a little in any common soil, 
and almost any situation ; a few plants will 
suffice. 
Brocoli. — The last planting for the season 
should now be made as soon as possible ; re- 
move the decayed leaves from the early crops. 
Cabbage. — Sow a few to remain in the bed 
all the winter : make a thick planting, say 
at six inches in the row, and sixteen between 
the rows; in the winter every other plant 
may be drawn for use, and the others left till 
the spring. 
Cardoons. — Earth up the stems of such 
as have nearly attained maturity ; this should 
only be done when they are quite dry. 
Carrots. — Sow in a warm spot ; and to- 
wards the end of the month a slight hot-bed 
may be made for another sowing, but this is 
seldom necessary ; go over the main early 
sowings, and remove all seed weeds. 
Cauliflowers require protection in the 
winter, and provision must be made now, after 
any or all of the following plans : — On the 
warmest border that can be selected, fill as 
many hand-lights as will be required, planting 
them from four to six inches apart ; or use a 
frame similarly ; or plant them at the foot of 
the garden wall in different aspects, and 
slightly protect them when the weather is 
severe. Another good plan is to pot them, 
putting the best singly, and keeping them in 
a frame or cold house close to the glass. In 
all cases, after a few days, give air profusely. 
Those ready for use must be cut and pre- 
served till wanted ; and at the end of the 
month the most forward may be planted 
thickly into a frame, where they will continue 
to produce their flower heads, and will last till 
the brocoli comes in. 
Celery. — Earth up slightly all except the 
latest crops ; do not bank them up too much ; 
a small proportion only should be fully earthed 
up, to keep a supply in succession ; it must 
be done when they are quite dry. 
Chervil. — Scatter a little more seed in any 
spare corner, if it is much in request.
