At the early part of the month Bush Beans, and at the middle and towards the end> 

 Extra Early and Washington Peas can be planted; also the late Cabbages, such as Supe- 

 rior and Crescent City Flat Dutch. Late Drumhead, Finke's Succession, Pride of the 

 South, Drumhead Savoy, etc.; Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts and Kale may be sown. 



At the early part of the month Early Italian Giant Caulillower, and Early Short 

 Stemmed Neapolitan may be sown; and later in the month Half Early Paris, and other 

 half early varieties. In fact, we consider this the propf^r time for the Half Early Paris. 



Sow Parsley, Roquette, Chervil, Lettuce, Endive and Sorrel; but do not forget to keep 

 them well watered during hot weather, otherwise they will prove a failure. Parsley 

 should be covered with moss or latania leaves as protection against the sun. Do not 

 forget to germinate your Lettuce seed, otherwise the ants will have a feast. 



Yellow Summer or Golden Globe, V^^'hite Summer Turnip, and White Strasburgh 

 Radish may be sown during this month, and towards the end the Half Long French, 

 Long Scarlet, Scarlet Turnip and Black Spanish varieties may follow. 



Sow early varieties of Turnips and Ruta Bagas, Vienna Kohlrabi, Swiss Chard, some 

 early Beets, Mustard and Cress. 



In the latter part of this month, providing the weather is not too hot or dry, Half Long, 

 St. Valerie and Creole Carrots can be sown, but it is best to wait until next month, as 

 nothing is gained by too early sowing. Celery of all kinds, such as Large Wbite Solid, 

 Dwarf Large Ribbed. Perfection Hartwell, Golden Yellow Self Blanching and Giant 

 Pascal should be sown now. and plants of the first sowing transplanted. Celery plants, 

 if set out during this month, require to be well shaded and watered, otherwise they will 

 not take. 



Tomato plants for a late crop, if not set out during the previous month, should now be 

 planted and well watered so as to give them a start. 



Set out Shallots and plant Red and White Kidney Beans for shelling. In the 



FIELD. 



Plant Potatoes for an early winter crop. Only small ones saved from spring crops 

 should be selected for that purpose and must not be cut, but planted whole. Begin to 

 plow under some Cow Peas, so as to get land ready to set out Cabbage and Cauliflower 

 plants. IN THE ORCHARD 



Continue to bud. if the weather is not too hot and drv and the stools remain in sap. 



IN THE FLOWER GAKDEN 



Sow flower seeds for late blooming, such as Balsams, Zinnias, Cockscombs, etc. 



Oup assortment of Flower Seeds and Flowering* Bulbs, suitable for our 

 Southern climate, is the best that can be found.
