The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 45

July

July.

Kitchen Garden.—All the surface improvements should be completed during this month, and in the neighborhood of Melbourne the first crop of early potatoes should be planted. In higher and later districts it will not be safe to plant for several months. Peas and broad beans should be sown largely, both of medium and late varieties, finish the planting of asparagus, and top-dress asparagus beds, if not already done. Carrots and parsnips should also be sown largely where required. If from any cause the main crop of onions has not been sown last month, no time should now be lost in getting that done. Lettuce, radish, mustard and cress, for salad, and a few leeks for transplanting, should also be sown this month.

Flower Garden.—Finish the digging of all the beds and borders, and also the transplanting of all herbaceous perennials for the filling page 85 up of vacancies in shrubbery borders, keep the walks and edgings clean and tidy.

Wm. Adamson, Wholesale and Retail Seed Merchant, 71 Collins-street west, Melbourne.

Farm.—All the land intended for spring crops should be got ready. Continue the sowing down of grasses and clovers; finish the sowing of oats, barley, and rye. Peas and beans may still be sown.
