SAX 



Large Green, very hardy. These for 

 winter standing crops. 



Sow at the close of February, the 

 plants of which are ready for pricking 

 out in April, and for final planting at 

 the end of May, for use in early au- 

 tuum ; the sowing to he repeated about 

 the middle of March, the plants to be 

 pricked out in May, for planting in 

 June, to supply the table in autumn 

 and early winter. The main crops must 

 be sown in April and early May, to 

 prick out and plant, after similar in- 

 tervals, for production in winter and 

 spring. 



Planting. The plants of the first 

 crops should be set out two feet apart 

 each way, but the winter- standing crops 

 are better at two feet by eighteen 

 inches. Water abundantly, if the wea- 

 ther is dry, until the plants are well 

 established. 



To save Seed. Such plants must be 

 selected of the several varieties as are 

 most true to their particular character- 

 istics, and as are not the first to run. 

 These, in open weather, from early in 

 November to the close of February, 

 plant entirely up to the head, in rows 

 two feet-and-a-half each way, each va- 

 riety as far from the other as possible. 

 They ripen their seed in July and Au- 

 gust. 



SAW-FLY. See Atha'lia and Hylo- 

 to'nia. 



SAWS for garden-pruning must have 

 a double row of teeth, to obviate the 

 tendency to nip, or buckle, that the 

 dampness of green wood and the leve- 

 rage of the branch occasions. One with 

 a very narrow blade, and one with a 

 handle six feet long, will be found con- 

 venient. The face of the wound made 

 by a saw should always be cut smooth 

 with the knife, otherwise the wet lodg- 

 ing on its rough surface occasions 

 decay. See Bill. 



SAW-WORT. Serra'tula. 



SAXI'FBAGBA. Saxifrage. (From 

 saxum, a stove, and fran-go, to break ; 

 supposed power in that disease. Nat. 

 ord., Saxifrages [Saxifragacese]. Linn., 

 10-Decandria %-Digynia.} 



Seeds, and especially divisions, in spring, 

 unless for annuals ; sandy loam ; the tenderest 



will repay for a little leaf-mould or peat ; suited 

 best for the fronts of borders, the stumps of 

 trees, and for knolls and rockworks.
