AUGUST. 



IN this month (as in some measure before) the 

 gardener anticipates products of the future year, and 

 sows various vegetables in autumn to stand the 'winter 

 for spring and summer use ; so that, in this, and other 

 respects, August is in truth an important season, as 

 will be seen by the work directed to be done. The 

 times for the several sowings should be pretty exactly 

 observed in order to success.
