The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 45

June

June.

Kitchen Garden.—Trenching and draining being finished, all sorts of fruit trees and vines may now be planted and pruning finished. Where the soil is poor, use bone dust in preference to stable manure, as the latter generally produces a strong crop of weeds. Make good sowings of broad beans, peas, onions, carrots, parsnips, lettuce and materials for salad.

Flower Garden.—Finish planting. Sow down lawns and croquet grounds. Hardy annuals and perennials may still be sown. Attend to edgings, such as rosemary, box and thrift, clipping the former and filling up any vacancies. Get a frame ready for a few early balsams, celosias and other tender subjects.

Farm.—Sow barley, rye, oats, wheat, tares and grasses. Lucerne should not be sown in this nor the two following months, as it is very tender when young. Mangolds, beet and carrots may be stored, if the ground is required. New ground may be broken up, which would be all the better to lie fallow all the following summer.
