VEGETABLE DEPARTMENT. 
Peas and Beans• —Sow once a fortnight for successional crops; also rod and earth up such 
as require it. 
Dwarf Kidney Beans, as the Canterbury, Cream-coloured, Dun-coloured, &c. may now be 
sown on a warm border, in drills, two feet and a half apart. 
Onions. —Sow a few Silver Skinned, to draw young in summer, or for small bulbs to pickle. 
Potatoes for winter use, should be planted early in the month, if not done before. 
Carrots , for drawing young in summer, should be sown in the beginning; and towards the 
end, the main crop will require thinning to about six or eight inches apart; but when they are 
intended to be drawn in the summer, as they may be wanted for use, only thin them to 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 sup¬ 
ply of water or cow-wash. Also sow more seed towards the end of the m nth for Michaelmas 
and winter crops. 
Brocoli. —Plant out the early raised plants two feet apart, for heading in autumn, and sow 
the Siberian to produce heads next May ; about the middle, some Green Cape and Early Pur¬ 
ple Cape, and Grange’s Early White, to come from the end of August to Christmas; at the 
end, sow the Green Close-headed, to produce from November to February. 
Savoy. —Plant out the earliest raised Savoys about two feet apart, to form heads for autumn. 
Celery. —The first sowing will now be fit for planting in trenches. 
Cabbage.— Plant out the spring-raised for autumn use; also draw earth about the stems of 
the early ones; and sow more seed of the Van-Ack, Battersea, &c. 
Radish. —Sow some of the Short-Top, and Red and White Turnip Radish, about once a fort¬ 
night, for succession. 
Lettuce. —Sow the different kinds two or three times in the month, and plant early raised 
ones in rows a foot apart. Tie up the leaves of the Cos to blanch, for use. 
Mustard and Cress. —Sow once a week, out of doors, in a warm situation. 
Turnips. —Sow a plentiful crop of the Stone Top, &c. towards the middle of the month. 
Those before sown, will require hoeing and thinning. 
Beefs.—The Red will require thinning to about ten or twelve inches from plant to plant, and 
the Green and White to about six inches apart. 
Endive. —Sow a moderate quantity of the Green-Curled about the 20th. 
Spinach. —Sow once a fortnight, for successional crops. 
Vegetable Marrow, Gourds, 8fc. may be planted out about the end of the month, under hand¬ 
glasses, either on a slight hot-bed ridge, or on a warm border; and a few seeds may also be 
sown in the open ground. 
Cucumbers in frames, must be duly attended to, with air, water, bottom heat, &e. It is also 
now high time to prepare some ridges of hot dung, for growing them on under hand glasses, if 
not done before. These should either be made on level ground, about four feet wide, and two 
feet and a half high, or in trenches the same width, and three feet deep. Lay about eight 
inches in thickness of light mould on the bed, and place the hand-glasses three feet apart, upon 
it; and when the soil is warm, place three plants under each glass, and cover them well down 
at night with mats. Sow some seed by the middle of the month, in the open ground, to pro¬ 
duce a crop for pickling, &c. 
Herbs may now be propagated by slips.
