Sow seeds of brussels sprouts, Scotch
kale, and savoy, for fall use. Sow
also early york and Winingstead cab

condition plant out cabbage from the
fail sown beds.

weather is milder. Remove the lights
in warm weather, and give them the
benefits of warm showers, but cover
up at night when there is any danger
of frost. Towards the end of the
month prepare to make plantations
of those which have been kept under
glass during the winter-transplant
those raised in heat in January and
February under. Sow as directed
for cabbage the early Paris for an
early crop has succeeded best with

Cetery.-Transplant the early sown
into boxes, or on a slight hot.bed and
sow for succession the early white
and red solid we can recommend for
the Farmer"
Lettuce. Towards the end of the
month, some of the best plants that
have been wintered in covered frames
may be planted out upon a warm bor-
der and others upon a more exposed
situation SOW for succession. The
only kind we cultivate is the paris

Onj0as,--Sow the main crops as
early as the ground is in good condi-
tion for very large ones we plant
the small bulbs of last year, or the
fall sown plants in very rich ground.

POtatoes.-Do not neglect to plant
for the principal crop early as the
ground is in good working order. We
prefer that the sets should be hard,
dark green and the sprouts (should
any have made their appearance)

inches,so that the hoeing and plough

RadiSh.-Sow upon warm border
the early short top, and red turnip
varieties
Peas.-For the first crop, sow the

crop" If there is any fear of the seed
being attacked by the wire worm, it
is an excellent plan after they are
sown, and previous to covering them
up, to water them we'll with a solu-

Observation-Disclosures may now be
forwarded by placing hand-glasses,or
boxes over it, with little manure
round the bottom to prevent the in-
gress of cold winds. This plant is
greatly benefited by copious water
ing of liquid manure during dry
weather it delights in plenty of
moisture and good living, now is the
time to make new plantations choose
deep, rich soil, trench deep, manure
heavily, and plant good roots of good
varieties, such as Myatt's Linnaus, or
Salts crimson perfection. We have
on trial upon the following grounds,
some twenty varieties, which we hope
to report upon in due time.
Parsnips.-Sow for the main crop
on good, rich sol, early as the ground
is IN good working order we believe
the old hollow crowned, or Guernsey,
to be the best yet
