the beginning of the month, if not done as directed 

 in July. Some, however, choose to sow at both 

 times, in order the better to secure a crop. About 

 the end ot the month, they may be partially thinned 

 put, and finally in September, which see. As ob- 

 served last month, the Dutch yellow is the best 

 kind to sow for winter. It is superior to ^all others 

 for hardiness and flavour ; and it is, besides, the 

 most nutritive. 



SALLADS, 



Of sowing American Cress, 



Sow black American cress on a warm border, at 

 the bottom of a wall or hedge, about the middle or 

 end of the month ; or on a bed, or beds of light, 

 dry earth, in any situation exposed to the sun. It 

 will stand the winter, and come in early in the 

 spring. For the manner of sowing, see March. 



Of sowing small Sallading. 



Chervil may be sown, in every respect as above, 

 and will stand over winter, if not very severe in- 

 deed. 



Garden-cress may also be sown, as above, at the 

 end of the month, and in the middle and the end 

 of September. It will continue good till destroyed 

 by frost. Sow the curled kind j it is the hardiest. 



Mustard (white, or brown,) may also be sown 

 once in ten days or a fortnight, while the weather 

 continues open : but it will do no good after the. 

 frosts set in.
