Southern gardens in quantities. They bloom with 

 profusion in spring and fall and some little through- 

 out the summer and often up to November. 



FRUIT AND VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Set out strawberry plants during the first part of 

 September. A good soil for such is one that has 

 previously been in crimson clover and plowed under. 

 Put on plenty of well rotted manure and set the 

 plants one foot apart, the rows being two feet apart. 



Raspberry and blackberry canes should be 

 planted in a cool, half shady place and the old canes 

 trimmed back one half. 



For the onion patch make the soil very rich with 

 barnyard manure mixed with kainit. 



Plant potato, queen and pearl onions six inches 

 apart, in rows two feet apart. Where the garden 

 soil needs building up and more humus, sow crimson 

 clover to be turned under in the spring. 



Sow in open ground winter kale and spinach. 

 Do not have the soil too rich, but rather encourage 

 a sticky growth to withstand the cold of winter. 



Also set out fall cabbage and broccoli plants. 

 Celery plants which should have been set out in 

 July must be kept well watered throughout the 

 summer. Every two weeks sprinkle between the 

 rows a small quantity of nitrate of soda. 



White potatoes should be dug after the vines die. 

 Let them lie on the ground in the shade until dry 

 and afterward spread on the barn floor for several 

 weeks. They could be kept in a cool dry cellar 

 or else put in kilns outdoors for winter keeping. 



Brussell sprouts and cauliflower and white 

 potato vines should be occasionally treated with 

 bordeaux mixture, and tobacco dust for insects. 



Sow in coldframes for winter use early Jersey 

 Wakefield cabbage and also onion seed, to be 

 transplanted in the spring. 



Sow the Big Boston and Boston Market lettuce 

 seed in coldframes not later than first part of 

 month so as to have little plants to set out the first 

 of October. Transplant to coldframes in which 

 the soil has been made very rich with well rotted 

 manure, and pulverized. Plant six in row about 

 eight inches apart. Occasionally sprinkle a little 

 nitrate of soda between the rows and force the 

 lettuce to head by December. Make several 

 plantings two weeks apart to middle of December. 



The small late canteloupes that do not ripen can 

 be put in strong brine as well as the cucumbers and 

 string beans and later on pickled for winter use. 



The first of September is the time to sow lawn 

 grass seed. Get the ground in good condition, 

 well pulverized and level; sow bone meal and then 

 grass seed and roll with a heavy roller. Get a 

 good mixture of lawn grass from a reliable seedsman. 



Virginia. J. M. Patterson. 



Duties for the Lower South 



DO NOT permit seed to form on the cannas. 

 The best flowers are produced during the fall 

 when the nights are cool. Along the edges of lakes 

 and other moist places they make as beautiful a 

 display as Japanese iris. 



During the month plant some Madonna lily bulbs. 

 Select the largest sized bulbs. 



Plant out the perennial phlox now. Divide the 

 old plants if too thick. Have the soil rich. 



Remember not to neglect chrysanthemums. 

 This is the time of year when they should be given 

 liquid manure and disbudded for show blooms. 

 The same may be said of asters sown in summer. 



Early cucumber and bush squash may be planted 

 in Florida during the month. 



Pick the field peas after a rain when the pods are 

 still damp which prevents the pods from bursting 

 and scattering the seed. 



Cotton picking is now the order of the day in the 

 South. Keep it picked as fast as it opens. 



Sow turnips for table use; and for the cattle, 

 plant Seven Top turnips and Essex rape. Rye 

 mixed with oats makes a splendid pasture for 

 cattle. Sow now for early pasture. Remember 

 that crops grown for pasture require more fertilizer 

 than do regular crops. 



Salsify, or vegetable oyster, requires a long 

 growing season. Parsnip, carrot, radish and beet 

 may also be sown now. 



Don't forget to order your fruit trees.
