THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 99 



ply when the spring-sown crop has ceased to bear, 

 and then continue till killed by a frost. 



AUGUST. Sow peas, early Dutch and other vari- 

 eties of turnips, ruta baga, onions, cabbages, cauli- 

 flowers, brocoli, black Spanish radishes, carrots, 

 beets, parsnips, salsafy, lettuce, and endives. 

 Plant snap beans. Transplant cabbages, cauli- 

 flowers, brocoli, celery, ruta baga, and endive. 



Remarks. Not much can be expected from peas 

 sown this month, as they will be much crippled by 

 the high winds and rain which we usually have ; 

 but if much wanted, a few may be ventured. The 

 beets and spinach are liable to the attacks of the 

 worms, which destroy their leaves : should they 

 escape these, they will be very fine. 



SEPTEMBER. Sow early Dutch and other varie- 

 ties of turnips, ruta baga, beets, Swiss chard, man- 

 gle wurzle, carrots, parsnips, salsafy, lettuce, spi- 

 nach, cabbages, (English seed,) onions, radishes, 

 endive. Plant snap beans. Transplant ruta baga, 

 cabbages, cauliflowers, brocoli, celery, lettuce, 

 leeks, endive. 



Remarks. In this month the principal crops of 

 turnips, beets, carrots parsnips, &c. should be 

 sown, as they will acquire sufficient strength to 

 withstand the cold weather before the winter sets 

 in. When thinning out the ruta baga, the plants 

 should be reserved and transplanted out either into 

 those spaces where they have failed, or into a 

 piece prepared expressly for them, If the cabbage 

 seed are not English, they will run to seed in the 

 spring without heading. 



OCTOBER. Sow cabbages, lettuce, carrots, beets, 

 turnips, radishes, spinach, salsafy, parsnips, ruta
