==Cabbage.==—­Sow the larger kinds for autumn use, and one or two rows of the smaller kinds for planting in odd places as early crops are cleared off.  Cows, pigs, and poultry will always dispose of surplus Cabbage advantageously, so there can be no serious objection to keeping up a constant succession.  Plant out from seed-beds as fast as the plants become strong enough, for stifling and starving tend to club, mildew, and blindness.  Where Red Cabbage is in demand for use with game in autumn, seed should be sown now.

==Cardoons== to be sown on land heavily manured in rows three or four feet apart, the seeds in clumps of three each, eighteen inches apart.  They are sometimes sown in trenches, but we do not approve of that system, for they do not require moisture to the extent of Celery, and the blanching can be effectually accomplished without it.  Our advice is to plant on the level, unless the ground is particularly dry and hot, and then trenches will be of great service in promoting free growth.  To insure their proper flavour, Cardoons must be large and fat.

==Carrot==.—­Sow the main crops and put them on deeply dug ground without manure.

==Cauliflowers== to be planted out at every opportunity, warm, showery weather being most favourable.  If cold weather should follow, a large proportion of the plants will be destroyed unless protected, and there is no cheaper protection than empty flowerpots, which may be left on all day, as well as all night, in extreme cases when a killing east wind is blowing.  Sow now for late summer and autumn use, prick the plants out early to save buttoning, and they will make a quick return.

==Celery==.—­Sow in a warm corner of the open ground on a bed consisting largely of rotten manure.  It may happen in a good season that this outdoor sowing will prove the most successful, as it will have no check from first to last, and will be in just the right state for planting out when the ground is ready for it after Peas and other early crops.  If Celery suffers a serious check at any time, it is apt to make hollow stems, and then the quality is poor, no matter to what size the sticks may attain.  Prick out the plants from seed-pans on to a bed of rotten manure, resting on a hard bottom, in frames or in sheltered nooks, and look after them with extra care for a week or two.  Good Celery cannot be grown by the haphazard gardener.

==Endive==.—­Sow a small quantity in moderate heat for the first supply, in drills six inches apart, and when an inch high prick out on to a bed of rich light soil.

==Herbs==.—­Chervil, Fennel, Hyssop, and other flavouring and medicinal Herbs, may be sown now better than at any other time, as they will start at once into full growth, and need little after-care other than thinning and weeding.  Rich soil is not required, but the position must be dry and sunny.

==Leek== to be sown again if the former sowing is insufficient or has failed.
