THE KITCHEN GARDEN
The main crop of Celery ought to be sown without delay. Sow the seeds in pans in heat or on a slight hotbed, pricking off the seedlings into a prepared bed in a cold frame. Spinach, as a catch crop, may be sown between lines of Peas or on a quarter which is being reserved for later sowings of legumes. Potatoes can now go out in bulk, and a sowing of Carrots of the Horn or Stump-rooted varieties may be made. Soot may be used freely among the Carrot lines in order to prevent or to minimise the activities of the Carrot Fly. Salt is also useful on porous soils, but. in no case ought, the allowance to be more than lib a square yard; Jib is sufficient for general purposes. A slight sprinkling of dry salt during spring among growing crops has been proved to be of service.
