FOR THE MONTH OF july.


where the crops have come to maturity and
have been taken off, that it may be in ortlerto
receive fresh seeds, and plants such as may
be made use OF i'll autumn and winter.
Peas.
The early crop of hotspur peas, will, in
this month, be ripcning for seed and as it is
not so necessary, in the middle states, to
change all kinds of seeds, every year, as in
most parts of Europe; this valuable Article,
tlav be planted III the same ground, for seve-
ral successive years, and thessced materially
improved so as toproduce double the quanti-
sy by attending to the following directions
None, from the rows ofpcas which are in
tended for seed on any occasion, ought to be
gathered, until they are fit for seed then SO
over the rows, select all the pods, which ap
pear to have five peas and upwards in them,
shell them out carefully, and afterwards, with
a coarse riddle, which will just admit the
smaller peas through, separate the small ones
from the rest (the small ones to go into the
general mass) the best to be reserved for
your own sowing. The second year you may
reject all pods which have not six and up
wards in them, handpick, and shell them in
like manner, and SO continue the third and
fourth years, when the peas will have attain
I'd their full maturity, and some of the pods
will have ten and eleven fine large peas III
them, and IT the same care is observed ever
liter, they will not degenerate, but will con-
tnue to produce us before mentioned, without
being SO subject to the blight.
The small dwarf pea may be treated in the
same manner, with equally good effect, but
AS the seed is small, of course a riddle suited
70 their size must be uscd.-The other sorts
might probably answer as well, if managed
IN the same manner; but these have not
been proved.
Potatoes.
Early this month, if not done in the last, a
fail crop of potatoes may be planted in the
middle states. The ground may be furrow-
ed out, pretty deep, let the burrows be three
feet apart, and good coat of rotten manure,
spread in them, about three inches thick
place cuttings of the potatoes, having two or
three eyes in each, about ten or twelve inches
a part in the rows, and cover them with a.
bout six inches of earth A few days before

Those who wish to have the true coleworts
