field, and Reedland Early Drumhead cabbage, to plaut 

 out in autumn, where the localit}' admits, or box up in 

 cold frame to keep until planting time in spring ; the 

 latter end of the month will be time enoudi to sow in 

 the latitude of Philadelphia ; especially sow the Early 

 Market, also the Bloomsdale, as a succession. The Early 

 Dutch and Red Topped turnips may be sown the first 

 week in this month, if failure has attended earlier efforts. 

 In some sections the fly devours the early sowing ; they 

 are less voracious after the nights become cool and dews 

 heavy. Earth up celery. Sow corn salad, scurvy grass 

 and chervil for winter salad. Sow Speckled Dutch let- 

 tuce for Spring planting, the plants to be kept during 

 the \Yinter in cold frames. Other good sorts for autumn 

 sowing are the Forcing, Reliable, and Early Summer. 

 Sow spinach early in the month for autumn use ; later 

 for winter and spring. The Bloomsdale is unquestion- 

 ably the hardiest for winter, and withal the best in leaf. 



Southern. — The work in the garden has com- 

 menced in earnest. It is not too late to plant beans. 

 Transplant cabbage sown last month ; Early Market, 

 Early Dwarf Flat Dutch, Reedland Early Drumhead, 

 also the Early Jersey Wakefield, may still be sown. 



Towards the close of this and the fore part of next 

 month, sow Flat Dutch, Lake Mountain, and Drum- 

 head Savoy cabbage, for use early in the Spring, and 

 to secure a good supply, sow liberally — the flies will have 

 their share. Transplant cauliflower and broccoli, and 

 sow turnips. Potatoes planted last month will require 

 culture. Bloomsdale onion seed may be sown for a 

 general crop, if Buttons or sets to plant are not at hand. 

 Get sets of Pearl, Autumn, White Wax and Bermuda 

 onions. Carrots sown now will be fit for use in December. 

 Spinach may be sown from time to time ; also endive. 

 Celery plants need tillage. Lettuce may be sown, and 

 Landreth's Forcing is a rare sort. Sow radishes fre- 

 quently ; especially winter radishes.
