FOR THE SOUTRERN 
Towards the end of the month Black 
Kye Marrowfat Peas can be planted; 
also, English or Windsor Beans. 
Sow Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, 
Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Spinach, Mus- 
tard, Swiss Chard, Carrots, Beets, Sal- 
sify, Leek, Corn Salad, Parsley, Ro- 
quette, Chervil, Kohlrabi, Radish, Let- 
tuce, Endive and Parsnip. Shallots 
from the first planting can be divided 
and set out again. Salsify does very 
finely here, but is generally sown too 
late; this is the proper month to sow 
theseed. The ground should be mellow 
and have been manured last spring. It 
should be spaded up very deeply, as the 
size and smoothness of the roots depend 
upon the preparation of the soil.

STATES. 
Water the Celery with soap suds, and 
if the season has been favorable by the 
end of this month, some may be earthed 
up. 
Sow Rye, Barley and Red Oats, Or- 
chard Grass, Red and White Clover, and 
Alfalfa Clover. Strawberry plants’ 
should be transplanted ; they cannot be 
left in the same spot for three or four 
years, as is done North. The Wilson’s 
Albany, and Sucker State, are the fa- 
vorite varieties for the market. 
The Wilson’s Albany do not make 
many runners here, but they form a 
stool, something like the plants of 
violets, and these stools have to be taken 
up and divided. 
NOVEMBER. 
Continue to sow Spinach, Corn Salad, 
Radish, Lettuce, Mustard, Roquette, 
Parsley, Chervil, Carrots, Salsify, Pars- 
nips, Cress and Endive, also Turnips 
and Cabbage. Superior Flat Dutch and 
Improved Drumhead, sown in this 
month, make fine Cabbage inthe spring. 
Artichokes should be dressed, if not 
already done last month. 
Sow Black Eye and other late varieties 
of Peas. Frost does not hurt thera as 
long as they are small, and during this 
time of the year they will grow but 
very slowly. English Beans can be 
planted ; frost does not hurt them, and, 
if not planted soon, they will not bear 
much. | 
Manure for hot-beds should be looked 
after, and ought not to be over one 
month old. It should be thrown to- 
gether in a heap, and, when heated, 
forked over again, so the long and short 
manure will be well mixed. The first 
vegetables generally sown in the hot- 
beds are Cucumbers; it is best to start 
them in two or three inch pots, and 
when they have two rough leaves, trans- 
plant them to their place; two good 
plants are sufficient under every sash. 
DECEMBER. 
Not a great deal is planted during this 
month, as the ground is generally occu- 
pied by the growing crops. 
Plant Peas for a general crop; some 
Potatoes may be risked, but it is uncer- 
tain whether they will succeed or not. 
Sow Spinach, Roquette, Radish, Car- 
rots, Lettuce, Endive and Cabbage. 
Early varieties of Cauliflower can be 
sown ina frame or sheltered situation, 
to. be transplanted in February into the 
open ground. Harly Cabbages, such as 
York, Oxheart and Winningstadt, may 
be sown. 
To those who wish to force Tomatoes 
I will say that this is the month to sow 
them. ‘The best kind for that purpose 
is the Extra Early Dwarf Red. It is 
really a good acquisition; it is very 
dwarfish, very productive, and of good 
size, and bears the fruit in clusters, but 
will sell only for the first, as the fruit is 
not so large as the Livingston varieties, 
which come in later.
