RHUBARB.-Do not gather from
set last year. Cut off all flower
stalks as soon as they appear.
MELoNs.-Require the same treat
menL as cucumbers. When growing
well, give liquid manure once or
twice a week.
CoRN.-Plant as soon as all dan
ger OF frost is over in drills 81 to 4
feet apart. Plant every week or ten
days for succession.
LETTUCE.-Keep the soil around
early-set plants loose and free from
weeds. Set out new beds and SOW
seed for later crop.
TURNIPs.-Dust air-slaked lime or
ashes on the young plants as soon
as up to destroy the black fly which
attacks Observation-Disclosures.
SQUAsHEs. late use should
be planted by the middle of the
month in rich soil. Treat the early
sorts the same as cucumbers.
PARsNIPs.-The earlier these are
sown the better the crop is likely to
be. Use only last years seed. Hoe
and weed as soon as the plants ap-
pear.
BEETs.-Thin out early paintings
and keep carefully hoed; the thin
nings make greens, preferred by
many to spinach. Plant for q sue
cession.
AsPARAGUs.-Do not cut until the
plants are two years old, and if they
can be left until three all the better
for the future of the bed. Set new
beds now.
EGG-PLANTs.-Do not set out un-
til cool nights are over and the
ground becomes thoroughly warmed
then set in rich soil two feet apart
each way.
CARROTS Sow the main crop
when the soil is warm, and keep clean
from the start, or the weeds will soon
exceed the carrots in size, and the
crops be injured.
PEAs.-Bush before they fall over.
Earth up a little when hoeing. Plant
late sorts in rows four to five inches
deep, so that they will not dry out
during warm weather.
PoTAToEs.-Finish planting for
general crop, and hoe the early sorts
as soon as up. Just before the po-
tatoes appear above ground draw a
harrow over the rows: this will de-
stroy numerous weeds.
CABBAGE.-Broccoli, Caulifower,
ect, all need the same general treat
ment when young. Set out early
plants from the hot-bed or fra me,
and keep well hoed. Sow for late
crops in the open ground.
ONIoNs.-Should have been sown
last month to insure a good crop.
Weed as soon as up and keep the
soil stirred often. Ashes worked in
between the rows, and worked in
with hoe, and dressing of salt are
beneficial
BEANs-Do not plaut until all dan
ger from frost is over; then plant in
rows three feet apart. Limas started
on sods under grass may be set out
when cool nights are over and when
the ground becomes dry and warm
seeds may be put in.
CUCUMBERs.-Plants started on
pieces Of sod may be set in the open
ground and covered at night with
frame or even paper to prevent
their becoming chilled. Sow seeds
in open ground as soon as warm, and
dust the plants when up with plaster
or ashes to prevent the "bugs' from
working on them.
Such of the harder vegetables as
were sown last month will now be
growing, and should be kept free
from weeds, and, as soon as large
enough, thinned, Inmost localities,
all the varieties vegetables, except
perhaps tomatoes and plants,
may be planted in the open ground
now.
