HARVEST MONTH IN THE GARDEN 



Stage Auriculas should be repotted. Alpine Auriculas Aug. 

 are generally grown out of doors. -^ — 



The propagation of such bedding plants as Zonal ^^^ums 

 Geraniums, Heliotrope, Marguerites, and Verbenas by 

 cuttings may be practised. 



Early Daffodils and Narcissi may be put into pots 

 or boxes, and plunged for early flowering. 



Hedges may be pruned. Pelargoniums may be 

 repotted. 



In the fruit garden the budding of fruit trees may 

 be performed. 



Currants and Gooseberries may be pruned and top- 

 dressed with manure. 



Wasps must be excluded from Vineries, and late 

 Grapes encouraged to ripen by careful ventilation. 



Peaches and Nectarines which have been cleared 

 of their crop may be pruned and trained, old wood 

 being cut out and young tied in. 



Strawberries for forcing may be repotted, and early- 

 rooted plants intended for the garden put out. 



Early Apples and Pears may be gathered when the 

 stalk parts from the tree readily. Heavily laden Plum 

 trees should be supported with stakes. 



The old canes of Raspberries may be cut out after 

 the fruit has been gathered. 



In the kitchen garden attention may be given to the 

 Asparagus bed. Liquid manure will do good. 



Kidney Beans must be regularly picked, or they will 

 soon go out of bearing. Soakings of liquid manure may 

 be given. 



Cabbage seed may be sown to give plants suitable 

 for use in spring, and Cauliflowers for summer crops. 



Suckers should be removed from Celery, and the 

 plants tied. Early crops may be earthed up.
