Brussels sprouts. &c. These are hardy plants, and yield acceptable sup¬ 
plies of tender greens in spring, when other green products are scarce. 
The intervals between early crops of peas, beans, or other rowed crops, 
which soon come off, are usually chosen for these winter greens. 
Celery .—Continue to plant out celery in trenches, from time to 
time, as the previously pricked out seedlings become fit; this is better 
than planting too many trenches at once from any one (particularly the 
earliest) sowing. It has been too much the practice to plant the whole 
crop from one sowing, and at the same time; this, for such a vegetable 
as celery, is not well, because, as it is gradually used in a private 
family, it should be consecutively sowed, transplanted, and taken up; 
therefore prick out another lot of seedlings from the April sowings, to 
be ready for putting in trenches in July. Watering and shading for 
a few days is necessary, if the weather be dry and warm. 
Red Beet , Scorzonera , Salsafy , and Hamburgh Parsley. — All 
these crops will now require hoeing among to kill weeds, and to see 
that they are all thinned enough. 
Love-Apples. —These plants, if still in the pit or frames, may now 
be brought and turned out of the pots under a south or west wall or 
paling, to which they may be trained while bearing. Capsicums may 
also be turned out on warm borders, to produce their fruit. 
Lettuce. —Transplant from seed-beds all the different sorts. Showery 
weather is most suitable ; and if dry, plentiful waterings and shading 
will be necessary, till the plants have struck fresh roots. Sow more 
seed twice in the course of the month. 
Turnips .—Sow another crop to succeed that sown in May. Hoe 
and thin out former sowings, and draw for use from the thickest 
parts. 
Spinach .—Sow twice in the course of the month. 
Salad Plants. —Cress, mustard, and rape should be sowed once a 
week, to obtain a constant supply. The different sorts of radish may 
yet be sown ; but to have them of quick growth and crisp, they will 
require copious watering. 
Endive. —Sow a large seed-bed of the green curled sort, and a 
smaller one of the Batavian about the twentieth of the month. These 
beds will supply plants for the principal winter crops. 
Cucumbers. — See that the ridged plants are attended to by giving 
air daily, and water occasionally. Picklers may now be sown on a warm 
border in patches; or if plants have been previously raised in a hot-bed 
or hot-house, they may now be put out. Placing three plants together 
is the usual way of disposing them, and this because it gives oppor-
