BE,Ns.-You may still continue 10
plant more beans to succeed those sown
in the former months, where constant
succession Of young ones is required.
The long poddcd bean is proper kind
to plant at this season, it being remark
ably great bearer, excellent when young,
and is very profitable for the use of a
family. The Windsor and Sandwich
beans, or any other of the large kinds
may yet be planted.
About the latter end Of tlis month,
plant Snap or Bush beans, in dry aud
warm situation.
PEAs.-Sow peas to succeed those
sown in the former month: where con-
slant supply is required, there should be
some sown at least every fortnight or
three weeks. The marrowiat and Span
ish morotto, being of the large kind, arc
both fine eating peas. and great bearers,
and are also proper TO be sown at this
season. Set sticks to peas when yoa in.
, tend them TO climb up; this should be
done in due time, when the plants are
about four or fdc inches high. Observe
to have sticks Of Il proper height; for
marrowfats and other large peas, they
should be six or seven feet high; but
those of four or five feet will be quite
sufficient fer the hotspurs, and other surts
Of small peas.
CABEAcEs.-Now transplant, if not
done in February, all the cabbage plants
that are remaining in their winter beds,
or as many as you intend to plant out for
spring crop. If the weather about this
time should prove dry, you should irc-
quently give your young cabbage plants
Il little water, observing to do it early in
the morning.
Onions AND LEENs.-Whoro onions
and leeks were not sown the last month,
the work should be done early in this
You may either SOW them broad cast, or
in trenches, about four feet wide.
TrESIrs.-lf you have not yet sown
any turnips, let this business be no longer
delayed.
IRtsu PoTAroEs-Potatoos may be
vet planted, but the sooner the better
plant them about two feet and half
apart.
ToMAroEs.-About the middle, or to-
wards the latter end Of this mouth, sow
tomatoes. The seed should be sown at
this season in Il warm situation, and in
light rich soil; it may be sown either in
drills, or broad cast, or else dotted into
the earth about three or four inches apart,
and quarter Of an inch deep.
PEppERs.-Towards the twentieth of
this month, you may sow peppers of diff
ferent kinds; they may be sown much in
the same manner as the tomatoes, and in
warm border of light rich earth.
CUCUMBERs AND MELoNs.--About The
middle of this month, you may sow wa
ter and musk melons and curumbers, for
a first crop. The culture of these is so
we'll known, that itnceds no description.
F1G TREEs.-About the beginning of
this month plant fig trees, if not done in
February; this being good season for
removing them-they will now take root
in a short time. These trees should be
planted from twenty-five feet from each
other; for nothing adds more to the flavor
of the fruit than free circulation Of air,
and the admission of the sun between the
trees and branches.
STRAwBERRIEs.--the strawberry beds,
which were not dressed in the last month,
ought to be attended toas soon as posi-.
bic in this. The plants will now begin to
push aracc, and the sooner this work is
done the better.
