at large number of tops to be cut for use as
Sc. "fy catchers," as we often see done.

nd sional tall ''pig-weed" establishes itself,

se plants for making a new plantation, keep

Z BEETs Continue to thin the earlier |

I "Blood Turnip" may still be sown for |
y winter use. We find it much preferable

CABBAGE AND CAUIFLowERs. Plants,
] when large enough, are to be set out
:. from the seed-bed. Land which was
: occupied by early potatoes, with a lib
!. eral mmuring, makes an excellent cab
bage ground. Give the surface of the
soil an occasional dressing with the rake,
to keep down the weeds. In localities {
; where "Cabbage-worm" is troublesome, {
use Pyrethrum powder or hot water.

the rows until the tops are so large as
to be in the way !
CELERY is usually set out this month. q
Market gardeners put it upon land +

the soil back, and work it with the roller ..
and harrow until q fine bed is made 81
/ The manured burrows should be three ~
/ feet apart, and the plants set every six g,
inches in the rows. Keep the plants 10
well cultivated, and replace any that h,
may die, from a reserve lot. d
CELERIAC is set out in the same man TO
ner as celery.

than tea-cup," is good one. tn
