3S4 MONTHLY CALENDAR. [September, 



Keep Raspberry beds clear of all straggling suckers; tie 

 up such shoots as are adapted for next year's bearers to neat 

 stakes, and keep the ground clear of weeds, 346. 



Strawberry beds should be kept clear of weeds, and the 

 runners may be taken from some kinds to make new plan- 

 tations with, 347. 



If dry weather prevail, as is generally the case at this 

 season, hoe frequently between such young trees, shrubs, 

 &c , in the nursery beds, as are well rooted ; and water 

 tliese which were recently transplanted. 



" Light vapours o'er valleys and rivers at night, 

 Foretoken the next day salubrious and bright, 

 Especially when they at morning appear, 

 To rise up the hill sides, and vanish in air." 



VEGETABLE PEPARTMENT. 



Although the sowing season is nearly over, the crops on 

 the ground require attention constantly. Endive may still 

 be transplanted for Winter use. Hoe Cabbage #nd other 

 vegetables, and attend to the earthing of Celery as it pro- 

 gresses in growth. Sow Rape, 39 ; Cauliflower seed, 42 ; 

 Cabbage, 45; Corn S'alad, or Felticus, 53 ; Cress, Rape,

 same purpose, 65; sow Lettuce seed, 62; Onion to stand 

 the Winter, 68 ; Radish for Fall use, 77 ; plant Shallots, 85; 

 sow Spinach seed every week or ten days, 86 ; Turnips will 

 sometimes come to maturity if the seeds be sown the early 

 part of this month, and those sown last month will need 

 hoeing as they progress in growth, 92. 



Continue to gather, dry and pack Hops as they ripen, 127; 

 also all aromatic, sweet, and medicinal herbs, 96 ; this is a 

 good season to make Mushroom beds in sheltered situations i

 may be most convenient, For directions to preserve spawn,
