GARDENING NOTES
THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. Plant out Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and savoy. Spray tomatoes with arsenate of lead to control caterpillars. Wash fruit before eating. Sow for succession peas, carrots, spinach, lettuce and radishes. Make fortnightly sowings of mus-
tard and cress, sowing the a few days before the mustard. Thin out root crops as growth demands. Mulch rhubarb with old manure. Plots not likely to be used for some time should now be sown down in green crops for digging in.
