The Garden in June.

correspondent in the v. Z. Farmer
says,-This month ends all spring planting
in the garden; and the few seeds now
planted are tor succession and late crops.
Whether the season be late or early, vege-
tation reaches about the same state of for
wardness, year after year, before the
month ends.
Vegetables, fresh and crisp! How unlike
the same products from the market after
they have been carted miles, bruised and
wilted. Our own garden is furnishing us
with quite a variety of early products,
with prospect of an abundance through
the season; and if our hints have induced
others to make good garden, giving it
suitable attention so as TO furnish their
families with supply ofgood vegetables,
we shall think that our efforts have not
been in vain. The garden will require
considerable attention all through this
month; neglect now cannot be remedied
by any subsequent attention. Transplant
ing will of course be attended to.
BEETs.-The late crops should be plant
ed by the middle of the month.
BLACKBERRIEs AND RAsPBERRIEs.-Te
up the new growth to stakes or trellises,
ana keep down superfluous shoots, saving
only the strongest.
CABBAGEs AND CAULIFLowERs.-Seed
may be sown for a late crop. Transplant
from the seed-bed. Look out for. and de-
stroy the cut worm. Salt sometimes keeps
them off. little scattered around each
plant. Look out for the new cabbage but
terily. white one with dark spot on the
wings.-catch and destroy them; they may
begin to fly the last of the month. Hoe
often and forward the early sorts with liq-
MD manure.
CARRoTs.-Hoe early, and keep the j
start OF weeds. Thin to five or six inches
apart. Half the labor Of culture is saved
by keeping ahead Of the weeds.
CUKEANTs.-Hoe and cultivate the
bushes well, giving them some fertilizer,
il not before done. Look out for the cur.
rant worm, and at its first appearance
sprinkle the leaves. under. as well as up
per side with powdered hellbore. BY
pulling of the leaves with legss on, and
burning, time and trouble are saved. The
csgs are most frequently laid on the lower
leaves.
CUcUMBEEs.-Early started ones need |
attention or the striped bug will destroy |
them. Milinet covered frames placed over
the plants will exclude the bugs Rapid !
growth is most eflectual on any extended |
scale. Plant for succession, and at the |
close Of the month for pickles Put in |
plenty of seed.

numbers now. but must be looked after or
wc shall get but small portion Of what /
We ought TO expect. Trap moths, crush /
eggs. and Kill the larve.
