CALENDAR!AL MEMORANDA FOR JUNE. 
Common Beans and Peas .—It is customary to put in the latest 
summer crops of these legumes in this month. Of the former, to 
small sowings of the Magazan are sufficient; the first early in the 
month; the last near the end. By placing on damp ground, or assist¬ 
ing the plants during August and September with water, if the season 
be dry, forwards them so as to yield their pods in October and 
November. Of peas, two or three sowings may be tried. Prussian 
Blue and the Pearl, both dwarf sorts, we always found most suitable 
for the last crops, and, coming in so late, say about the first of 
November, have been then considered a rarity. Knight’s Marrow may 
also be tried in this month; but these, as well as all other sorts of 
peas, are particularly subject to mildew, when the autumn is dry and 
warm, and, unless they are copiously watered in September, seldom 
come to any good. The bearing and advancing crops of both these 
vegetables will now require the ordinary treatment of earthing up, 
sticking, &c. 
Kidney Beans. — Succession crops of both dwarf and runner sorts 
should be put in; the first at least twice, and the second twice also, 
in order to ensure a constant and sufficient supply. Constant and 
clean gathering of the oldest pods is a certain means of prolonging the 
increase. 
Caulijlowers are in perfection. Preserve the colour by shading with 
their leaves; prick out the seedlings intended for the Michaelmas crop, 
preparatory to their being planted out for good in July. 
Brocoli .—As soon as convenient, all the different sorts of brocoli 
large enough for the purpose may be rowed out on rich deeply-digged 
ground. If the latest hardy sorts, as the Siberian, &c., be not already 
sown, the beginning of this month is not yet too late. 
Cabbage .—Another piece may be now put out, and two more small 
beds sown, to raise plants for autumn cabbage or coleworts; also 
another piece of savoys, and all other sorts of winter greens. If leeks 
are not yet planted, this work should be done without delay. 
Celery .—Continue to plant out celery in trenches from time to time, 
to keep up a regular supply. Continue also to prick out seedlings 
from the seed-beds, to forward them for going into trenches in 
August. 
Turnips, Spinach, Lettuce, Endive , and salad plants may be sown 
twice or thrice in the month. Love-Apples may be put out against 
walls or pales. Ridged Cucumbers must be attended to, and treated 
with water, air, See. Carrots and Parsnips should be thinned and 
kept free from weeds, as well as all other plants in drills or rows.
