==Broccoli== to be sown for succession.  Plant out from frames and forward seed-beds at every opportunity.  About the middle of the month sow for cutting in May and June of next year.

==Brussels Sprouts==.—­For the sake of a few fine buttons in the first dripping days of autumn, when Peas and Runners and Marrows are gone, put out as soon as possible some of the most forward plants, giving them a rich soil and sunny position.

==Cabbage==.—­Plant out from seed-beds at every opportunity, choosing, if possible, the advent of showery weather.  Sow the smaller sorts and Coleworts, especially in favoured districts where there is usually no check to vegetation until the turn of the year.

==Capsicum== can be sown out of doors about the middle of the month, and nice green pods for pickling may be secured in the autumn.

==Carrot==.—­Thin the main crops early, and sow a few rows of Champion Horn or Intermediate, for use in a small state during late summer, when they make an elegant and delicate dish.

==Cauliflowers== must have water in dry weather; they are the most hungry and thirsty plants in the garden, but pay well for good living.  Plant out from frames as fast as ready, for they do no good to stand crowded and starving.

==Celery== trenches must be prepared in time, though, strange to say, this task is generally deferred until the plants have really become weak through overcrowding.  In a small garden it is never advisable to have Celery very forward, for the simple reason that trenches cannot be made for it until Peas come off and other early crops are over.  To insure fine Celery the cultivator must be in advance of events rather than lag behind them.  Plenty of manure must be used; it is scarcely possible, in fact, to employ too much, and liberality is not waste, because the ground will be in capital condition for the next crop.  There are many modes of planting Celery, but the simplest is to make the trenches four feet apart and a foot and a half wide, and put the plants six to nine inches apart, according to the sorts.  This work must be done neatly, with an artistic finish.  In planting take off suckers, and if any of the leaves are blistered, pinch the blisters, and finish by dusting the plantation with soot.  As Celery loves moisture, give water freely in dry weather.

==Cucumbers== of excellent quality may be grown on ridges or hills, should the season be favourable.  Suppose the cultivator to have the means of obtaining plenty of manure, ridges, which are to run east and west, are preferable to hills.  The soil should be thrown out three feet wide and two feet deep, and be laid up on the north side.  Then put three feet of hot manure in the trench, and cover with the soil that was taken out, so as to form an easy slope to the south, and with a steep slope on the north side carefully finished to prevent its crumbling down before the season ends.  The plants should be put out
