July is the crtical time for the all
year garden. Under the heat of the
summer sun, and with unfavorable
weather conditions much of the en
thusiasm of March disappears, and
many gardens are neglected.
Keep up tillage; soil moisture will
be none too plentiful this summer and
fall when the fall and winter are get
ting started.
The following vegetables may be
planted during this month; snap
beans,-bush lima beans, beets, car
rots, sweet corn, kale, cucumbers, tur
nips, lettuce and pumpkins. Cab
bage and tomatoes should be planted
in seed beds at once, so as to have
plants to set in the open about the
middle of August. Charleston wake
field and flat dutch cabbage and Stone
tomato are good varieties to plant.
Insects on young garden plants
should be destroyed as soon as they
app?ar. Poison the eating and chew
ing insects with Arsenate of lead and
the sucking kind by using Nicotine of
Sulphate. Do not wait too late to
kill the insects, as they cause most
of our failures with our fall garden.
Few people realize the advantage
that our long summer and sunny aut
ums give us for the production of a
constant succession of vegetable crops
and even the fewer realize that in
this climate the garden need at no
time of the year be abandoned to
weeds. From January to January
there is no need for there being any
vacant space in the garden unoccu
pied by crops. Even if vegetables
are not grown the land should be
growing a green manure crop. If the
garden is carefully planned, there
can be secured from the plot a suc
cession of fresh vegetables from the
time the earliest peas are planted un
til the time it will be necessary to
prepare the land for them the follow
ing winter.
