GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR JUNE.

In a considerable measure the crops will now take care
of themselves, and we may consider the chief anxieties
and activities oof the season over. Our notes, therefore,
will now be more brief. But we do not counsel the culti-
vator to 'rest and be thankful," for it is better for him to
work, lout he must be thankful all the tame if he would
be happy in his healthy and entertaining employment.
Watering and weeding are the principal labours of this
month, and both must be pursued with diligence. Where
systematic irrigation with sewage can be carried on, the
most wonderful results may be expected, but ordinary
watering, where every drop has to be dipped and carried,
is often injurious rather than beneficial, for the simple
reason that it is only half done. In such camel we should
advise the cultivator to abstain from giving water as long
as possible, and then to give it in abundance, watering
only a small plot every day in order to saturate theground.,
and taking a week or more to go over a piece which WOWS%
be done in a day by more surface dribblings.—Asparague
should not be cut after the Reth. Manure water will do
great things for asparagus now, and a drohaiug of salt may
be given with mivantage.—Beaus may yet be sown, but
as they are not much in request in the latter part of the
' lesson, a small sowing will probably sullire.—Broccoll to
he planted out at every opportunity. In the first week
low for cutting next April and May.—Cabbage.—Towards
the end of the month sow a good breadth of small
cabbages and coleworta They will be immensely valu-
able to plat out as the stimmer crops are cleared away.—
Cauliflowers to be sown now where they are to remain,
and of course to be thinned boa proper distance in due
Sine. Any that are planted out now from seed-beds must
have water, and be shaded during mid-day for a week.—
Celery to be planted mit without loss of time, in showery
weather if possible, but if the weather is hot and dry,
shale and give water. Pea-sticks laid across the trenches
will give shade enough with very little trouble.—Cucum-
bers fur Pickling may he sown on ridges.—Lettuce to be
sown and planted at every opportunity. A few rows of
large Cos varieties should be sown in trenches prepared as
for celery, and then be thinned and allowed to stand.
They will form line hearts, and be valued at a time when
lettuces are scarce—Onions to be sown for Wading.
Forward beds of large sorts to be thinned in good time.
The best onions for keeping are those of moderate Sir"
perfectly ripened ; therefore severe thinning of such sort.
of Improved Reading, James's Blond Red, and Danvers's
should be avolded.—Peas may still be sown. The second
early sorts will pay well if the season is favourable, but
the first caches will be more sure, am one or two showers
will carry them through maturity. See note on peas in
calendar for last month—Turnips may be sown in variety
and In quantity after Midsummer-day. It is • good plan
to sow on well prepared ground, and to put a sprinkle of
guano in the dnlis with the seed. By hastening the early
growth of the plant the fly Is kept in check ; in fact, It is
as a rule only the plantation starved by drought or on an
ill-prepared soil that the Ry is likely to destroy outright
