THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
Prepare all vacant ground for Autumn planting or sowing. Standing crops will need plenty of cultivation so as to keep down weeds. Gather and burn or busy deeply all rubbish. The present dry spell has enabled one to get the garden cleaned up. Runner beans should he closely gathered and the plants kept watered. Once potatoes ripen off the crop should be dug. If left, wet weather will cause the tubers to sprout. Tomatoes should he kept going by having the side shoots pinched out. Any diseased fruits should be collected and hurnt. Prepare the ground thoroughly so that the Autumn-sown crops will have chance to make a quick growth. Leeks and celery should he earthed up as they repuire it. Pumpkins, etc., that are ripe should he taken into store as soon as thoroughly dry. Onion seed for plants for- Spring planting can be sown.
