and hoe the ground among them. Let the broad- 

 cast crops be thinned to eight or nine inches square, 

 and those drilled to five or six in the lines. 



Yellow turnip may .still be sown, and if done at 

 the beginning, or about the middle of the month, 

 will succeed pretty well. For the manner of sow- 

 ing, see July. 



SALLADS. 



Of sowing small Sallading. 



Chervil, garden cress, and American cress, may 

 still be sown for standing over winter, by being co- 

 vered, as will be directed in November. See the 

 manner of sowing all these last month. 



Of sowing and planting Lettuce. 



Lettuce may still be sown, but the sooner now 

 the better. Some may also be sown along with 

 spinage, which see above. 



Plants of the early sown lettuce of last month, 

 will be fit for planting out about the middle or lat- 

 ter end of this. They should be put out at the bot- 

 tom of a wall or hedge exposed to the south, and may 

 be planted in double or treble lines, at five or six 

 inches apart, each way. Some prick them in at three 

 or four inches apart, with the view of thinning them 

 for use, or for transplanting one half in February. 

 Do not plant over deep, and give a little water to 

 settle the earth to their roots. If planted in this 

 way, the coss kinds should be placed nearest to the 

 wall or hedge, and the cabbage kinds outermost, 

 being hardiest.
