thinned immediately they appear (thus avoiding transplanting), so that they receive no check in growth.= The following subjects are especially suited for the purpose:  Dwarf French Beans (sow early in July), Beet, Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower (sow early in July), Italian Corn Salad, Cress, Endive, Kohl Rabi, Lettuce, Onion, Parsley, Peas, Radish, Spinach, and Turnip.  Potatoes may also be planted in July, but only tubers of early varieties saved from the preceding year should be used.

==Garden Rubbish== is apt to accumulate in odd corners and become offensive.  The stumps of Cabbages and Cauliflowers give off most obnoxious odours, and neighbours ought not to be annoyed by want of thought in one particular garden.  The short and easy way with all soft decaying rubbish is to put it at the bottom of a trench when preparing land for planting.  There it ceases to be a nuisance and becomes a valuable manure.

==Beans.==—­A few Dwarf French Beans may still be sown to extend outdoor crops to the latest possible date.  For autumn and winter supplies sowings of the Dwarf and Climbing classes may be made from mid-July to mid-September, the dwarfs in cold frames and the climbers on narrow borders in any house that can be spared for the purpose.

==Broccoli== to be planted out as before; many of the plants left over from former plantings will now be stout and strong, and make useful successions.

==Cabbage.==—­The sowing of Cabbage seed at this period of the year entails consequences of such grave importance as to merit reconsideration.  When the crop has passed the winter there is a danger that the plants may bolt, instead of forming hearts.  In the great majority of such cases the loss is attributable to an unwise selection of sorts.  For sowing in spring there is quite a long list of varieties, many of them possessing distinctive qualities which meet various requirements.  It is otherwise now.  The Cabbages that can be relied on to finish well in spring are comparatively few in number.  But repeated experiments have demonstrated that loss and disappointment can be avoided by sowing only those varieties which show no tendency to bolt.  Another, but minor, cause of Cabbages starting seed-stems is premature sowing.  The exact date for any district must be determined by the latitude and the aspect of the place.  In the North sowing will, of necessity, be earlier than in the Midlands or the South.  Assuming, however, that suitable varieties are chosen, the whole difficulty can be disposed of, even on soils where Cabbages show an unusual tendency to send up seed-stems prematurely, by sowing in August instead of in July.  The seed-bed should be nicely prepared, and any old plaster, or other rubbish containing lime, should be dug in.  Sow thinly, for a thick sowing makes a weak plant, no matter how severely it may be thinned afterwards.

==Cardoons== to be thinned to one plant in each station, and that, of course, the strongest.
