Asparagus

Continue to cut as previously advised and give a sprinkling of salt, followed by a soaking of liquid manure. These applications will strengthen the plants and improve the crop.

Beans

Scarlet Runners, of the approved sorts already named, may be sown, likewise dwarf French.

Cauliflowers which are now in seed beds may be set out a foot apart in nursery beds, there to remain until the removal of early Peas or Potatoes sets a piece of ground free for them.

Celery

If early Celery is wanted, and there is a supply of sturdy young plants, a trench may be made now. After removing about eight inches of soil to the width of a foot, break up the bottom of the trench thoroughly and dig in some manure, or bone-flour at the rate of one ounce per yard, and replace a couple of inches of the top soil for planting in. Set the plants about ten inches apart, and give a good soaking of water.

Cucumbers

See that the plants do not get full of tangled growths. No more side shoots ought to be left than can be tied in with full room. The shoots may be stopped at a leaf beyond the fruit. Give liquid manure, and maintain a moist atmosphere.

Peas

Another sowing may be made in deep, manured, moist soil. If the shoots of Peas in bloom are pinched, the pods will fill several days earlier than if they are allowed to continue their extension.

Potatoes

The ground between Potatoes should be well hoed, in order to keep down weeds and to provide loose soil for earthing, which should be practised before the tops get tall.

Tomatoes must have regular attention. Plants in pots which are swelling up a crop of fruit may have water and liquid manure. They enjoy moisture at the roots, but a damp atmosphere is liable to encourage leaf disease. It is for this reason that Cucumbers and Tomatoes do not thrive, as a rule, in the same house.
