From the American Agriculturist,l
Garden work for June.

This month brings abundant labor, but it
is chccrcd by the rapidly increasing returns
which the garden is making The table
should every day present pleasing variety
afforded by the garden. Asparagus, greens
OF various kinds, lettuce, crosS and radishcs,
and an abundance of rhubarb for sauce and
pies, contribute to our present enjoyment,
while the latter crops arc full of promise
for tho future. Whoever would know
what good vegetables are, should have
them seasoned with his labor.
ISpdyugtS The cutting should not he
continued beyond the middle of the month
or the roots will be injured. Hoe on weeds
and let the shoots grow.
BeWS Continue to plant. Ilmas, if
planted early this month aud stimulated by
liquid manure, will ripcu the crop.
BeeiS. The maiu crop should hc put in
by the middle of the month. Hoe, weed
and thin those planted earlier The young
beots roots and tops, are by many persons
preferred to All other greens.
BiacibnrieS, RoSpberricS Keep well
tied up to stakes or trclliscs Vines planted
this season should not fruit. Allow only
those shoots to grow which are needed ton
fruiting next year, unless IT is desired to
multiply them. Keep free from weeds.
CucumberS Those, like children, require
great care till they can run alone. The
striped bug ia the great enemy, The pro
tecting frames, the FREQ uses of ashes plaS-
tor or lime, and hand picking carly in tho
morning, must he relied upon as prevcn-
tivcs. Thoir rapid growth must he for
warded by frequent hocings aud the uppli-
cation of liquid manure during moist spells.
The cucumber will soon be out of reach Of

plants to old ones. 1t is advantageous to
put in seed at intervals of few days, to
furnish supply of tender leaves to attract
insects from the older plants. Cucumhcrs
for pickles should hc planted III this month.
C'0TdHtS-By pinching out supcrIluous
shoots much pruning can be avoided. Wa
ter with soap.suds and keep the ground
loose around them. Where there is mar
ket for green fruit il often pays better to
sell currants before they are full ripe.
GOOSeJerTieS should receive the same
care US currants. Use sulphur if mildcw AZ =
pears. Mulching is beneficial the size of
fruit may be increased by thinning the bcr-
ries, and shading from hot sun.
LettUCe.-Plant i'll nnoccupicd places for
succession. If possible put the later trans
paintings where they will be shaded during
the heat of the day. As the season be-
comes hotter lettuce runs to seed early and
must then give place to cndive.
PotdoeS.-Cultivatc thoroughly, and give
y hand full of plaster TO each hill, if not
done before II does not pay to cultivate
large varieties in gardens.
RdiiSheS.-Contin to SOW seed in va
cant spots.
Rhubdrb.-Thc bed will now yiell an
abundance. If there is more than can he
used, bottle or dry supply for winter,
Cut off the flower stalks as fast as they ap-
pear, and cultivate well around the plants.
Strawberries. .--Clcan the beds of weeds
and give a mulching to keep tho fruit iron,
being soiled 10y contact with the ground
Sawdust or taubark will answer, but per,
haps the most available mulch, and one that
answers as woll as any, is straw cut as for
feeding, In picking the fruit only careful
hands should be employed; and if it is to
be marketed it should bo picked directly
into the vessel in which it is TO he sold.
Tomatoes. Transplant for the main crop
Pinch back the rampant growers. The
plants may he trained to rcllses, or allowed
10 trail upon brush, or lie upon the ground
The fruit ripens earlier it the vines are al
lowed to fall over. In this case cover the
ground with straw to keep the fruit clean
