,592 A KALENDAR OF WORK 



Continue to stir the surface of the ground among 

 Onions, especially those which are intended to be of the 

 largest size, as this assists materially their growth, and 

 in perfectly ripening their bulbs. 



September. 



Sow Cauliflower and early Purple Broccoli for frames, 

 Lettuces, Flanders and Prickly Spinach, short-topped 

 and Turnip Radishes. 



Plant out Couve Tronchuda in frames, the same as 

 Cauliflowers, to be kept through the winter. 



Make Mushroom beds in the Mushroom-house, or 

 under sheds, for winter crops. 



Plant out Broccoli and Winter Greens. 



Earth up Celery, Cardoons, and tie up Endive to 

 blanch. Prick out Cabbage plants. 



Hoe out Winter Spinach to three or four inches 

 distance plant from plant. Pull up Onions as soon as 

 their tops are nearly dead, or they will push out fresh 

 roots after rain, which will greatly injure their bulbs, 

 and prevent their keeping in a sound and firm state to 

 their usual period in the following spring. 



October. 



Transplant Cauliflowers and early Purple Broccoli 

 under frames and hand-glasses. Plant out Cabbages, 

 Garlic, Rocambole, and Shallots. Tie up Endive, and 

 earth up Cardoons and Celery. Lay up Carrots, 

 Potatoes, and Red Beet for winter use. Make up 

 Mushroom beds which have been omitted the last 

 month. 



Towards the end of the month, sow Frame Peas and 

 Mazagan Beans upon a warm south border. Lay into 

 the ground Purple and White Broccoli, within a few 

 inches of their lower leaves, and letting their heads face 

 the north.
