This has been one of bho most extraordi" nary seasons we have had for some year back. Every week we have received heavy rains, which have carried on all vegetabl 9 crops without a check up to tho present. The soil, through bhis cause, has been in a nice, moisb condition, and planting and sowing of the late crops of vegetables have been done under the most favourable con ditions. Though the season up till now has been good for planting or sowing, it ia not to be expected that bhe almost weekly rains will continue, and it would bo advis able for such places 83 do not possess good water supplies to finish planting and ■ sowing. Of course, whore plenty of water can be obtained during the driest months of bho year, planting and sow ing can bo continued till the usual autumn rains set in.

A continual succession of the above should be planted out abou'b once every three weeks. Celery, if planted deep in trenches and earthed up from time to time, is very easily kepb in a good growing stato. The first few weeks after' planting ib must be kept moisb at the roots, bub aa it grows, and especially after it has been once earthed up, little waber will be required, ns bhe fresh layer of soil placed over bhe roots will keep them cool and moist. The same remark will also apply to the leek, which requires liberal treatment as to manure and earth ing ud. French and the running varieties of bean 3: An endeavour ought also to bo made to keep up a succession of those, as they are some of tha bast summer vege tables. After sowing, a little mulching over the surface of the soil will greatly assist them by keeping down evaporation. Rhubarb up till now has done extraor dinarily well this season, but plenty of water will now be required so as to con tinue its growth.
