lings, but it is hardly worth chancing the 
sowing of any more seed for the present. 
Borecole or Kale—Sow a little seed, 
and if any plants have been raised, and 
are large enough to move, plant them out 
as you would cabbages. 
Brussels Sprouts.—An effort should be 
made to grow this vegetable, for it is a 
good one, and cannot fail to give satisfac- 
tion to those who are successful in grow- 
ing it. Use plently of manure when pre- 
paring ground for planting. Seed may be 
-sown and young plants may be planted 
if they are ready. 
Cabbage.—Sow seed of any. suitable 
kind. Succession is a good variety, and so 
also is Phenomenal, a new variety tested 
by Mr. Ellis at the Howlong Vine Nursery 
for me; but smaller. kinds are well worth 
growing, and are generally more tasty and 
‘tender than the large and strong growing 
kinds. en 
Cauliflower.—This needs more attention 
-from the start than other members of the 
family. It should be grown without a 
‘check from the, germinating. of the seed, 
and care should be taken when transplant- 
ing, for a little care will or should repay

out any strong young caulifiowersi 
hand. 
Carrot.—Sow a little seed in order to 
keep up a succession. Thin out well as 
soon as the seedlings have attained a 
height of 2 or 3 inches, and keep the rows 
well weeded. 
Celery.—A few plants may be planted 
now and then. Advanced plants which 
have pretty well attained full growth 
may be earthed up. Asi ai large supply is 
not likely to be required, there is no need 
to set out very many plants at a time. 
Endive.—Sow ai little seed, and plant 
out from previous sowings. This is a good 
substitute for lettuce in’ cold districts. 
Leek.—Seed may be sown extensively, 
and any young leeks already raised, and 
which are as large as an.ordinary pen- 
holder, may be planted in very rich soil 
or soil made rich with abundance of good 
manure. If the weather and soil are very 
dry and water is not available in good 
quantity do not plant. 
Lettuce.—Sow as extensively from time 
to time during the month as you may de- 
sire, and plant out any strong young let- 
tuces available. 
Sow a little seed, and plant

Onion.—This is an excellent time, in 
many parts of the State, to sow onion 
seed. When preparing the onion bed use 
manure freely, mix it well with the soil 
and make the surface level and as fine as 
you possibly can. Sow the seed in drills, 
and cover with very little fine soil. When 
the plants come up do not allow any weeds 
to grow amongst them. 
Parsley —Sow a little seed. There is a 
tradition that it is unlucky to transplant 
parsley, and at one time gardeners would 
absolutely refuse to translanti it. 
Parsnip.—Sow a little seed occasion- 
ally. 
Peas—Sow largely from time to time 
during the month. 
Radish—Sow a little seed occasionally. 
Spinach.—Sow a little seed occasion- 
ally in drills about 15 inches apart. Thin 
out the plants when they are 2 or 3 
inches in height. 
Shallots—Plant out bulbs as extensive- 
ly as you need about 1 foot apairt each 
way. vars 
Herbs.—Sow a little seed of various 
kinds.
